Known Subclasses:

Abstract base class for Version Control System operations (checkout and update). This class extracts the following arguments from the dictionary received from the master:

['workdir']: (required) the subdirectory where the buildable sources should be placed
['mode']: one of update/copy/clobber/export, defaults to 'update'
['revision']: If not None, this is an int or string which indicates which sources (along a time-like axis) should be used. It is the thing you provide as the CVS -r or -D argument.
['patch']: If not None, this is a tuple of (striplevel, patch) which contains a patch that should be applied after the checkout has occurred. Once applied, the tree is no longer eligible for use with mode='update', and it only makes sense to use this in conjunction with a ['revision'] argument. striplevel is an int, and patch is a string in standard unified diff format. The patch will be applied with 'patch -p%d <PATCH', with STRIPLEVEL substituted as %d. The command will fail if the patch process fails (rejected hunks).
['timeout']: seconds of silence tolerated before we kill off the command
['maxTime']: seconds before we kill off the command
['retry']: If not None, this is a tuple of (delay, repeats) which means that any failed VC updates should be reattempted, up to REPEATS times, after a delay of DELAY seconds. This is intended to deal with slaves that experience transient network failures.

Method Details

setup(self, args)

source code

Override this in a subclass to extract items from the args dict.

Overrides: Command.setup: (inherited documentation)

start(self)

source code

Start the command. This method should return a Deferred that will fire when the command has completed. The Deferred's argument will be ignored.

This method should be overridden by subclasses.

Overrides: Command.start: (inherited documentation)

interrupt(self)

source code

Override this in a subclass to allow commands to be interrupted. May be called multiple times, test and set self.interrupted=True if this matters.

Overrides: Command.interrupt: (inherited documentation)

parseGotRevision(self)

source code

Override this in a subclass. It should return a string that represents which revision was actually checked out, or a Deferred that will fire with such a string. If, in a future build, you were to pass this 'got_revision' string in as the 'revision' component of a SourceStamp, you should wind up with the same source code as this checkout just obtained.

It is probably most useful to scan self.command.stdout for a string of some sort. Be sure to set keepStdout=True on the VC command that you run, so that you'll have something available to look at.

If this information is unavailable, just return None.

maybeDoVCRetry(self, res)

source code

We get here somewhere after a VC chain has finished. res could be:

- 0: the operation was successful
- nonzero: the operation failed. retry if possible
- AbandonChain: the operation failed, someone else noticed. retry.
- Failure: some other exception, re-raise
