Caution

Buildbot no longer supports Python 2.7 on the Buildbot master.

2.5.12.3. Bzr

class buildbot.steps.source.bzr.Bzr

bzr is a descendant of Arch/Baz, and is frequently referred to as simply Bazaar. The repository-vs-workspace model is similar to Darcs, but it uses a strictly linear sequence of revisions (one history per branch) like Arch. Branches are put in subdirectories. This makes it look very much like Mercurial.

from buildbot.plugins import steps

factory.addStep(steps.Bzr(mode='incremental',
                          repourl='lp:~knielsen/maria/tmp-buildbot-test'))

The step takes the following arguments:

repourl

(required unless baseURL is provided): the URL at which the Bzr source repository is available.

baseURL

(required unless repourl is provided): the base repository URL, to which a branch name will be appended. It should probably end in a slash.

defaultBranch

(allowed if and only if baseURL is provided): this specifies the name of the branch to use when a Build does not provide one of its own. This will be appended to baseURL to create the string that will be passed to the bzr checkout command. If alwaysUseLatest is True then the branch and revision information that comes with the Build is ignored and branch specified in this parameter is used.

mode method

No method is needed for incremental mode. For full mode, method can take the values shown below. If no value is given, it defaults to fresh.

clobber

This specifies to remove the workdir and make a full checkout.

fresh

This method first runs bzr clean-tree to remove all the unversioned files then update the repo. This remove all unversioned files including those in .bzrignore.

clean

This is same as fresh except that it doesn’t remove the files mentioned in .bzrginore i.e, by running bzr clean-tree --ignore.

copy

A local bzr repository is maintained and the repo is copied to build directory for each build. Before each build the local bzr repo is updated then copied to build for next steps.
