How can I set collapseRequests in my buildbot master.cfg

Question

I try to set collapseRequests in my buildbot master.cfg, but when I add

c['collapseRequests'] = True

Error shows that "Unknown BuildmasterConfig key collapseRequests";

When I try to add collapseRequests in BuilderConfig, using

c['builders'].append(BuilderConfig(..., collapseRequests=True))

Error shows that "__init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'collapseRequests' (traceback in logfile)"

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Probably you are not using a version of Buildbot that supports collapseRequests. If I Google for it, I can only find references in the documentation for the development version of Buildbot. If you check that page, you'll see at the top there's a warning that the documentation is for the development version of Buildbot and there's a link to the documentation of the latest released version.

The latest released version (at the time of writing this answer) is 0.8.12 and does not support collapseRequests. What it does support is mergeRequests.
