buildbot from start

should be dumb as everybody seems to installed it without trouble. I spent hours within a fresh squeeze and tried different configurations (easy_install, aptitude and from source 0.81p.tar.gz) the best I got is a page from the localhost:9989 without any slave started.

Knowing that I made the 2 accounts : buildmaster and buildslave how to clean and reinstall it to have server and 1 slave for git ?

thanks in advance

Added :

You are right some details are missing:

I use buildbot from virtualBox with a Debian squeeze 6.0 in 32bits The both accounts : buildmaster and buildslave are running within this same Virtual environment.

I just tried the little example (this seems really interesting) : easy_install buildbot buildbot create-master /tmp/experimental_buildmaster buildbot start /tmp/experimental_buildmaster

  1. as root the jinja2 was missing whereas from buildmaster there were no complain (??)
  2. commented the Git calls that created errors to try to start the simplest demo
  3. buildslave create-slave /tmp/experimental_buildslave 127.0.0.1:9989 slave-name mypasswd
  4. in the log something appear allways : "No address associated with hostname"

it seems I'm closer with this no ?

Solution

  • for people like kamal this may be usefull :

    The little demo works now: - I did all as root with no build accounts. - easy_install buildbot - buildbot create-master /tmp/experimental_buildmaster

    most important is here

    cp /tmp/experimental_buildmaster/master.cfg.example xperimental_buildmaster/master.cfg edit it

    and pay attention to : slavePortnum default is :9989 and git confs : buildmaster will give errors with bad params

    then

    buildbot start /tmp/experimental_buildmaster

    wait for the "started sucessfully"

    easy_install buildbot-slave

    buildslave create-slave /tmp/experimental_buildslave localhost:9989 example-slave Password

    I strongly disagree with the proposed ".. .. .."

    buildslave start /tmp/experimental_buildslave

    and now for something completely different : open browser to localhost:8010

    the welcome page is here, click buildslave to see your slave: rock'n roll !
