Package buildbot :: Module buildrequest :: Class BuildRequest

Class BuildRequest

I represent a request to a specific Builder to run a single build.

I am generated by db.getBuildRequestWithNumber, and am used to tell the Build about what it ought to be building. I am also used by the Builder to let hook functions decide which requests should be handled first.

I have a SourceStamp which specifies what sources I will build. This may specify a specific revision of the source tree (so source.branch, source.revision, and source.patch are used). The .patch attribute is either None or a tuple of (patchlevel, diff), consisting of a number to use in 'patch -pN', and a unified-format context diff.

Alternatively, the SourceStamp may specify a set of Changes to be built, contained in source.changes. In this case, I may be mergeable with other BuildRequests on the same branch.

Returns:: a boolean indicating if the cancel was successful.

Instance Variable Details

a timestamp (seconds since epoch) when this request was submitted to the Builder. This is used by the CVS step to compute a checkout timestamp, as well as the master to prioritize build requests from oldest to newest.

Value:

Type:: string
