3.5.6. change

resource type: change

Attributes:

changeid (integer) – the ID of this change
author (string) – the author of the change in “name”, “name <email>” or just “email” (with @) format
branch? (string) – branch on which the change took place, or none for the “default branch”, whatever that might mean

codebase (string) – codebase in this repository
comments (string) – user comments for this change (aka commit)
files[] (string) – list of source-code filenames changed
parent_changeids[] (integer) – The ID of the parents. The data api allows for several parents, but the core Buildbot does not yet support it
project (string) – user-defined project to which this change corresponds
properties (sourcedproperties) – user-specified properties for this change, represented as an object mapping keys to tuple (value, source)
repository (string) – repository where this change occurred
revision? (string) – revision for this change, or none if unknown
revlink? (string) – link to a web view of this change
sourcestamp (sourcestamp) – the sourcestamp resource for this change
when_timestamp (integer) – time of the change

A change resource represents a change to the source code monitored by Buildbot.

3.5.6.1. Update Methods

All update methods are available as attributes of master.data.updates.

class buildbot.data.changes.Change

addChange(files=None, comments=None, author=None, revision=None, when_timestamp=None, branch=None, category=None, revlink='', properties={}, repository='', codebase=None, project='', src=None)

Parameters:

files (list of unicode strings) – a list of filenames that were changed
comments (unicode) – user comments on the change
author (unicode) – the author of this change
revision (unicode) – the revision identifier for this change
when_timestamp (integer) – when this change occurred (seconds since the epoch), or the current time if None
branch (unicode) – the branch on which this change took place
category (unicode) – category for this change
revlink (string) – link to a web view of this revision
properties (dictionary with unicode keys and simple values (JSON-able).) – properties to set on this change. Note that the property source is not included in this dictionary.
repository (unicode) – the repository in which this change took place
project (unicode) – the project this change is a part of
src (unicode) – source of the change (vcs or other)

Returns:

The ID of the new change, via Deferred

Add a new change to Buildbot. This method is the interface between change sources and the rest of Buildbot.

All parameters should be passed as keyword arguments.

All parameters labeled ‘unicode’ must be unicode strings and not bytestrings. Filenames in files, and property names, must also be unicode strings. This is tested by the fake implementation.

3.5.6.2. Endpoints

path: /builders/{builderid_or_buildername}/builds/{build_number}/changes

Path Keys:

builderid_or_buildername (number|identifier) – the ID or name of the builder
build_number (number) – the number of the build within the builder

This path selects all changes tested by a build

GET

returns: collection of change

path: /builds/{buildid}/changes

Path Keys:: buildid (number) – the id of the build

This path selects all changes tested by a build

GET

returns: collection of change

path: /changes

This path selects all changes. On a reasonably loaded master, this can quickly return a very large result, taking minutes to process. A specific query configuration is optimized which allows to get the recent changes: order:-changeid&limit=<n>

GET

returns: collection of change

path: /changes/{changeid}

Path Keys:: changeid (number) – the id of a change

This path selects one change by id

GET

returns: collection of change

path: /sourcestamps/{ssid}/changes

Path Keys:: ssid (number) – the id of the sourcestamp

This path selects all changes associated to one sourcestamp

GET

returns: collection of change
