[Buildbot-devel] Prioritize slaves with nextSlave not working

[Jared Grubb]

FWIW, here is one that I use:

SLAVE_PRIORITY = {
    'slave_1': 100,
    'slave_2': 75,
    'slave_3': 50,
}

def useBestSlave(bldr, buildslaves):
    if not buildslaves:
        return None
    try:
        slaves = sorted(buildslaves, key=lambda s: SLAVE_PRIORITY.get(s.slave.slavename, 0))
        twisted_log.msg("useBestSlave: Of %d slaves, picked: %s" % (len(buildslaves), slaves[-1].slave.slavename))
        return slaves[-1]
    except Exception, e:
        twisted_log.msg("useBestSlave: got exception: %r" % (e))
        return random.choice(buildslaves)

...

c['builders'].append({
        'name': '...',
        'factory': BuildFactory(steps),
        'builddir': builddir,
        ....,
        'nextSlave':  useBestSlave,
    })
