[Buildbot-devel] Builders that use latent slaves start in a state "building"

[Mantas Mikaitis]

Hello,

To explain the problem in simpler terms I will give an example:

*Current state*:
A builder is offline.
A latent slave that is attached to above builder is offline.

*Scenario*:
Build request comes in.
Builder starts latent slave, removes request from "Pending" list and 
changes it's state to "building".
Latent slave is still connecting.
Connecting...
2minutes later it connects and the build appears in the waterfall.

Is this functionality intended that while the latent is slave is 
connecting the build request is not in the "Pending" list and not in the 
JSON API list of builds and additionally a builder is marked "building" 
even though it is not technically building while the slave is preparing.

Does anyone have any ideas about this issue?

Kind regards,
Mantas M.
