BuildSteps are usually specified in the buildmaster's
configuration file, in a list that goes into the BuildFactory.
The BuildStep instances in this list are used as templates to
construct new independent copies for each build (so that state can be
kept on the BuildStep in one build without affecting a later
build). Each BuildFactory can be created with a list of steps,
or the factory can be created empty and then steps added to it using
the addStep method:
from buildbot.steps import source, shell
from buildbot.process import factory
f = factory.BuildFactory()
f.addStep(source.SVN(svnurl="http://svn.example.org/Trunk/"))
f.addStep(shell.ShellCommand(command=["make", "all"]))
f.addStep(shell.ShellCommand(command=["make", "test"]))
The rest of this section lists all the standard BuildStep objects available for use in a Build, and the parameters which can be used to control each.
