[users at bb.net] Save build logs in a standalone report

[Mike Alexeev]

Hello, Koutheir


I have also similar problem.
I need to save log from all steps after build finished.
No html just plain text.

It seems that there is no ready solution.
For example there is no file storage in buildbot for files (reports, logs
and other build artifacts).
So my solution is not universal though it can be helpful.


For log generation I subclassed Build class. You can set your own custom
Build class
to build factory in buildbot config.

I overrided buildFinished method and added there code to collect log from
all steps.
In build instance you have access to Data API and you can read logs from DB.
I can share example if you want.

For file serving I use nginx.
I added links to log in build page template and substitute path to log
based on build properties.

So every build has link on its page to log.

I think that saving log can also be implemented as step running on Local
Worker
(it runs on master).  But I used custom build class because it looks
cleaner (no odd steps in build).


By the way, can be there default implementation for file storage in
buildbot?
For example default solution with twisted file serving
and possibility to use server like nginx in bigger setups. Just like db
setup - sqlite has no external
 processes and easy to setup, but  also you can use postgre which much more
faster.


What about adding post-build hook in configuration? Log-saving method for
example could be
 set there
