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
ResultComputingConfigMixinresult – 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
