Changes
Added information on how to manage the slaves
== Try Server (Front node) ==* TBATo connect to the tryserver do it through ssh to hera.senecac.on.ca* The folders "cgi-bin", "html" and "patches" are aliased to show to the public* The folders "patches_test" and "builds" are not yet available
== Master (Front node) ==* TBAThe basedir of the buildbot is the home directory, therefore "buildobt restart ."* Run "perl process_changes_test.pl" to read the patches from the "tryserver" and notify of changes to the master. Every 2 minutes a cronjob takes care of running this command. Patches get copied to "patches" or "patches_test" (this may be unified later on)
== Slaves ==
=== Connecting ===
* LINUX** You have to connect first to the front node and the "ssh buildslave@vmlinux1"** You can also connect with VMware to '''hera.senecac.on.ca:1904'''
* MAC
** You connect directly with ssh to a specific IP (to be added) and with your individual account* WINDOWS - ** Use "Remote Desktop Connection" (comes with Windows) to connect to '''hera.senecac.on.ca:31389 ''' with '''buildslave''' account
=== Creation ===
* LINUX
** buildbot create-slave slave hera:12345 lin1 lin1
* MAC
** /usr/local/bin/buildbot create-slave /tmp/slave hera:12345 mac1 mac1 (right not the slave is on '''/Users/adam.delyea/buildbot/slave''' -- <span style="color:red;">Is /tmp/slave a good place??</span>)* WINDOWS
** Run c:\mozilla-build\start-msvc8.bat to start
** /c/Python24/scripts/buildbot create-slave /c/slave/ hera:12345 win1 win1
=== Start ===
* LINUX
** buildbot start ~/slave
* MAC
** /usr/local/bin/buildbot start /Users/adam.delyea/buildbot/slave (the location should be changed)
* WINDOWS ("twistd.pid" does not get created)
** /c/Python24/scripts/buildbot start /c/slave/ //make note of the ampersand symbol, it puts the task in the background
=== Restart ===
* LINUX
** buildbot restart ~/slave
* MAC
** /usr/local/bin/buildbot restart /Users/adam.delyea/buildbot/slave* WINDOWS- '''Kill it and then start it again since twistd.pid has not been generated'''** ps aux** Look for the ID for /c/Python24/scr <--- The column does not reach to show the complete path** kill 34567 //Put the correct ID** Check the section before to start the slave
== Left to be implemented ==
* Use incron instead cronjob to run "perl proccesschanges_test.pl" in the buildmaster machine
* Fix this in '''Mac machine''' - ''checking for GLIB - version >= 1.2.0... no'' [http://hera.senecac.on.ca:8010/builders/mac-test/builds/20/steps/compile/logs/stdio]
== Known Errors/Issues ==
* In the WINDOWS machines be sure to do not create s slave in a path that has spaces or will fail [http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla/source/client.mk#427 client.mk#427]
* [http://buildbot.net/trac/ticket/155 Builbot Bug 155] and [http://buildbot.net/trac/ticket/85 Builbot Bug 85] - You have to restart the master if you see in the waterfall view machines that are IDLE but with pending builds
== Fixed ==
* Fixed this in '''Windows machine''' - <font style="color:red">client.mk:427: *** The mozilla directory cannot be located in a path with spaces.. Stop.</font> [http://hera.senecac.on.ca:8010/builders/win32-test/builds/2/steps/checkout/logs/stdio]
