Caution

Buildbot no longer supports Python 2.7 on the Buildbot master.

3.10.6. BuildSteps

There are a few parent classes that are used as base classes for real buildsteps. This section describes the base classes. The “leaf” classes are described in Build Steps.

See Writing New BuildSteps for a guide to implementing new steps.

3.10.6.1. BuildStep

class buildbot.process.buildstep.BuildStep(name, description, descriptionDone, descriptionSuffix, locks, haltOnFailure, flunkOnWarnings, flunkOnFailure, warnOnWarnings, warnOnFailure, alwaysRun, progressMetrics, useProgress, doStepIf, hideStepIf)

The

Most Buildbot steps run shell commands on the worker, and Buildbot has an impressive array of configuration parameters to control that execution. The ShellMixin mixin provides the tools to make running shell commands easy and flexible.

This class can only be used in new-style steps.

class buildbot.process.buildstep.ShellMixin

exception buildbot.process.buildstep.BuildStepFailed

This exception indicates that the buildstep has failed. It is useful as a way to skip all subsequent processing when a step goes wrong.
