[Buildbot-devel] messageFormatter to grab logs from the waterfall page, and how to add on the waterfall page a link to a zip file on the slave.

[shiny knight]

Thanks for the reply Georges

Basically one of my step is a build step, and it makes the library that I zip and make available to the other devs.

I would like to have the devs to be able to grab different releases of the library, directly from the waterfall page; so if a build goes bad, they can always download the previous build that was working, in the meantime that the problem is fixed.

As now I do in the build step, a copy of the library to a folder on the slave; using date and time as unique ID for the library release. But I send manually an email to the devs to tell them the location of the library; while I would like for them to just go to the waterfall page, click on a link in the step that build the library and get the file.

I will check the FileUpload, but from what I can understand, it is copying the file/s on the master; while I would like for the users to just grab it from the slave. Is even possible to achieve what I want to?

Also would appreciate any suggestion about how to browse trough the log files in a builder, so I can also write my own messageFormatter.

Thanks
