4.7.4 AnyBranchScheduler

This scheduler uses a tree-stable-timer like the default one, but uses a separate timer for each branch.

The arguments to this scheduler are:

name

builderNames

properties

treeStableTimer

The Scheduler will wait for this many seconds before starting the build. If new changes are made during this interval, the timer will be restarted, so really the build will be started after a change and then after this many seconds of inactivity.

fileIsImportant

A callable which takes one argument, a Change instance, and returns True if the change is worth building, and False if it is not. Unimportant Changes are accumulated until the build is triggered by an important change. The default value of None means that all Changes are important.

change_filter

The change filter that will determine whch changes are recognized by this Scheduler. Note that this is different from fileIsImportant: if the change filter filters out a Change, then it is completely ignored by the scheduler. If a Change is allowed by the change filter, but is deemed unimportant, then it will not cause builds to start, but will be remembered and shown in status displays.

branches (deprecated; use change_filter)

This Scheduler will pay attention to any number of branches, ignoring Changes that occur on other branches.

categories (deprecated; use change_filter)

A list of categories of changes that this scheduler will respond to. If this is specified, then any non-matching changes are ignored.
