3.3.8. Build Result Codes
Buildbot represents the status of a step, build, or buildset using a set of
numeric constants. From Python, these constants are available in the module
buildbot.process.results
, but the values also appear in the database and in
external tools, so the values are fixed.
- buildbot.process.results.SUCCESS
Value: 0; color: green; a successful run.
- buildbot.process.results.WARNINGS
Value: 1; color: orange; a successful run, with some warnings.
- buildbot.process.results.FAILURE
Value: 2; color: red; a failed run, due to problems in the build itself, as opposed to a Buildbot misconfiguration or bug.
- buildbot.process.results.SKIPPED
Value: 3; color: white; a run that was skipped – usually a step skipped by
doStepIf
(see Parameters Common to all Steps)
- buildbot.process.results.EXCEPTION
Value: 4; color: purple; a run that failed due to a problem in Buildbot itself.
- buildbot.process.results.RETRY
Value: 5; color: purple; a run that should be retried, usually due to a worker disconnection.
- buildbot.process.results.CANCELLED
Value: 6; color: pink; a run that was cancelled by the user.
- buildbot.process.results.Results
A dictionary mapping result codes to their lowercase names.
- buildbot.process.results.worst_status(a, b)
This function takes two status values, and returns the “worst” status of the two. This is used to aggregate step statuses into build statuses, and build statuses into buildset statuses.
- buildbot.process.results.computeResultAndTermination(obj, result, previousResult)
- Parameters:
obj – an object with the attributes of
ResultComputingConfigMixin
result – the new result
previousResult – the previous aggregated result
Building on
worst_status
, this function determines what the aggregated overall status is, as well as whether the attempt should be terminated, based on the configuration inobj
.
- class buildbot.process.results.ResultComputingConfigMixin
This simple mixin is intended to help implement classes that will use
computeResultAndTermination
. The class has, as class attributes, the result computing configuration parameters with default values:- haltOnFailure
- flunkOnWarnings
- flunkOnFailure
- warnOnWarnings
- warnOnFailure
The names of these attributes are available in the following attribute:
- resultConfig
