Buildbot no longer supports Python 2.7 on the Buildbot master.

3.8.6. Steps connector

class buildbot.db.steps.StepsConnectorComponent

This class handles the steps performed within the context of a build. Within a build, each step has a unique name and a unique 0-based number.

An instance of this class is available at master.db.steps.

Builds are indexed by stepid and their contents are represented as stepdicts (step dictionaries), with the following keys:

  • id (the step ID, globally unique)

  • number (the step number, unique only within the build)

  • name (the step name, an 50-character identifier unique only within the build)

  • buildid (the ID of the build containing this step)

  • started_at (datetime at which this step began)

  • complete_at (datetime at which this step finished, or None if it is ongoing)

  • state_string (short string describing the step’s state)

  • results (results of this step; see Build Result Codes)

  • urls (list of URLs produced by this step. Each urls is stored as a dictionary with keys name and url)

  • hidden (true if the step should be hidden in status displays)

getStep(stepid=None, buildid=None, number=None, name=None)
Parameters

  • stepid (integer) – the step id to retrieve

  • buildid (integer) – the build from which to get the step

  • number (integer) – the step number

  • name (50-character identifier) – the step name

Returns

stepdict via Deferred

Get a single step. The step can be specified by:

  • stepid alone

  • buildid and number, the step number within that build

  • buildid and name, the unique step name within that build

getSteps(buildid)
Parameters

buildid (integer) – the build from which to get the step

Returns

list of stepdicts, sorted by number, via Deferred

Get all steps in the given build, ordered by number.

addStep(self, buildid, name, state_string)
Parameters

  • buildid (integer) – the build to which to add the step

  • name (50-character identifier) – the step name

  • state_string (unicode) – the initial state of the step

Returns

tuple of step ID, step number, and step name, via Deferred

Add a new step to a build. The given name will be used if it is unique; otherwise, a unique numerical suffix will be appended.

setStepStateString(stepid, state_string):
Parameters

  • stepid (integer) – step ID

  • state_string (unicode) – updated state of the step

Returns

Deferred

Update the state string for the given step.

finishStep(stepid, results, hidden)
Parameters

  • stepid (integer) – step ID

  • results (integer) – step result

  • hidden (bool) – true if the step should be hidden

Returns

Deferred

Mark the given step as finished, with complete_at set to the current time.

Note

This update is done unconditionally, even if the steps are already finished.

addURL(self, stepid, name, url)
Parameters

  • stepid (integer) – the stepid to add the url.

  • name (string) – the url name

  • url (string) – the actual url

Returns

None via deferred

Add a new url to a step. The new url is added to the list of urls.
