Several schedulers perform filtering on an incoming set of changes. The filter can most generically be specified as a ChangeFilter. Set up a ChangeFilter like this:
from buildbot.schedulers.filter import ChangeFilter my_filter = ChangeFilter( project_re="^baseproduct/.*", branch="devel")
There are four attributes of changes on which you can filter changes:
None
.
For each attribute, the filter can look for a single, specific value:
my_filter = ChangeFilter(project = 'myproject')
or accept any of a set of values:
my_filter = ChangeFilter(project = ['myproject', 'jimsproject'])
It can apply a regular expression, use the attribute name with a suffix of
_re
:
my_filter = ChangeFilter(category_re = '.*deve.*') # or, to use regular expression flags: import re my_filter = ChangeFilter(category_re = re.compile('.*deve.*', re.I))
For anything more complicated, define a Python function to recognize the strings you want:
def my_branch_fn(branch): return branch in branches_to_build and branch not in branches_to_ignore my_filter = ChangeFilter(branch_fn = my_branch_fn)
The special argument filter_fn
can be used to specify a function that is
given the entire Change object, and returns a boolean.
A Change passes the filter only if all arguments are satisfied. If no filter object is given to a scheduler, then all changes will be built (subject to any other restrictions the scheduler enforces).
