[Buildbot-devel] TextParameter | StringDownload

[David Froger]

Hi,

I'm tring to put the content of a TextParameter to a StringDownload.

The type of the resulting file created on the slave is 'data':

$ file create.txt
created.txt: data

but I would like to get ASCII text:

$ file created.txt
created.txt: ASCII text

Any idea?  My code look like:

    s = StringDownload(
        Interpolate("%(prop:the_file)s\n"),
        slavedest = "created.txt")

    factory.addStep(s)

    force_sched = ForceScheduler(
        ...
        properties = [ TextParameter(
            name='the_file', default='', cols=78, row=50)]
        ...
    )

By the way, would it be worth to have a new parameter : FileParameter, which
would return something like this? :

Thanks!
