甚麼是BuildBot?

Buildbot 是一套由Python撰寫的client-server 架構的專案source code追蹤用的伺服器。 主要可以拿來做以下的用途:

  • Code quality tracing: 可以定期或是只要有新的變動就主動下載source code並且build。 可以查出來哪個變動讓程式build不過。

  • Multiple platform compiler testing: 針對一份程式碼要對應到多個platform 或是多整module, Buildbot 提供了很好的方式可以幫助你確認這件事情。

  • Unit testing: 使用Buildbot 可以定期幫你的程式做unit testing。(當然~ unit testing program 得是你自己有準備好的)

需要的軟體:

在這裡先介紹所有你需要的軟體，可以事先去download 下來。

以上的版本已經確定在XP SP2 可以正確安裝並且執行無誤。希望各位也去下載適當版本。必須注意如果把Python換成新的版本(2.5 or 2.6)反而可能會造成安裝失敗。

或者你也可以去以下位置下載懶人包 。

**安裝流程: **

接下來你還必須要設定master.cfg 才能正常的啟動。

設定Buildbot:

  • Create MASTER

    1. “buildbot create-master " should be a path for Buildbot using. For my case using "buildbot create-master MASTER".

    2. Modify master.cfg on the . (you could refer as master.cfg as lastest of this article)

  • Create Slave

    1. buildbot create-slave bot1name bot1:8010 bot1 123(default Master port is the same with setting in Master.cfg)
    2. c[‘slavePortnum’] = 8010 #default is 9989

  • Start Master

    1. “buildbot start MASTER”

  • Start SLAVE

    1. “buildbot start bot1”

You could connect to http://localhost:10000 to see the server status.

Master.cfg

後記:

總算安裝跟設定好了吧~~~但是這樣僅僅只是讓你下載而已～～關於定期build的部分~ 我會研究出來後再分享給各位。 這裡有一些東西一定要注意到的是。 Perforce client spec must sync with your buildbot path。 如果沒有一樣的話，會發生下載下來檔案在原來client space 的地方，而不會在你預先設定的位置。
