[Buildbot-devel] conditional buildStep based on results from previous step(s)?

[Stephan Koledin]

Hi Mike-

Thanks for the input. I've made-do in my current setup with a variation 
on a solution I finally found at: 
http://bb10.com/python-buildbot-devel/2010-05/msg00122.html -- that at 
least got me on the right track to accessing the all build info via the 
step object fed in from doStepIf.

In my current simple setup, just using a static index works fine, but 
the better way by far is to grab the the result you're interested in 
based on step.getName() as in your example. I'll probably end up 
implementing something similar to make the overall setup more flexible.

I think I have enough to figure out how to do what I need in a separate 
function that I can then call easily with doStepIf.

Thanks.
