[Buildbot-devel] Use of Interpolate in git source step

[Kenny Ho]

Hi Andrew,

I run into similar issue with the Repo step as well and I ended up replacing it with a ShellCommand step instead.  Interpolate hasn't been working in the source step for me for awhile.

Hi All,

Buildbot version 0.8.8

I'm new to buildbot so I may have miss-understood how this should work.

I would like to use Interpolate to specify branch and codebase parameter values in a Git source checkout step.

When I try this I get an exception as below.

/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/buildbot/steps/source/git.py:313 in _dovccmd
312        cmd.useLog(self.stdio_log, False)
313        log.msg("Starting git command : git %s" % (" ".join(command), ))
314        d = self.runCommand(cmd)
exceptions.TypeError: sequence item 2: expected string, Interpolate found

I found an earlier post related to this but could see no outcome or resolution.

Should this work or am I trying to do something I shouldn't do?

Can anyone suggest a work around?

Thanks,

Andrew
