Caution

Buildbot is deprecating Python 2.7. This is one of the last releases supporting it on the buildmaster. More info.

2.5.16. DbConfig

DbConfig is an utility for master.cfg to get easy to use key/value storage in the Buildbot database

DbConfig can get and store any json-able object to the db for use by other masters or separate UI plugins to edit them.

The design is voluntary simplistic, the focus is on the easy use rather than efficiency. A separate db connection is created each time get() or set() is called.

Example:

from buildbot.plugins import util, worker

c = BuildmasterConfig = {}
c['db_url'] = 'mysql://username:password@mysqlserver/buildbot'
dbConfig = util.DbConfig(BuildmasterConfig, basedir)
workers = dbConfig.get("workers")
c['workers'] = [
    worker.Worker(worker['name'], worker['passwd'],
                  properties=worker.get('properties')),
    for worker in workers
]
class DbConfig
__init__(BuildmasterConfig, basedir)
Parameters:
  • BuildmasterConfig – the BuildmasterConfig, where db_url is already configured
  • basedir – basedir global variable of the master.cfg run environment. SQLite urls are relative to this dir
get(name, default=MarkerClass)
Parameters:
  • name – the name of the config variable to retrieve
  • default – in case the config variable has not been set yet, default is returned if defined, else KeyError is raised
set(name, value)
Parameters:
  • name – the name of the config variable to be set
  • value – the value of the config variable to be set
