[users at bb.net] Triggered builds getting skipped

[Greg MacDonald]

That’s concerning. I don’t have any tips I’m afraid. But I’ve noticed that after a build is requested it’s impossible to tell if it’s waiting on a worker to become available or if it’s actually been forgotten. But so far all my requests have eventually found their way to a worker after a few minutes. I’m only working with two at the moment though. It would be nice if the queues were made explicit in the UI.

Subject: [users at bb.net] Triggered builds getting skipped

Using buildbot 0.9.0b7 (I haven't had a chance to test it on b8 yet), I'm getting a problem where some triggered builds get skipped without doing anything.

It appears that buildrequests aren't creating builds.  It also seems that if we keep the number of triggered builds down to about 6, it doesn't happen very often.  If we increase them to 12 it reliably happens every time we kick off a parent build.

I'm not really sure what to look at or how to investigate it, so any tips would be helpful.

Thanks

Ed
