  • v2.9.2 Changes

    December 08, 2020

    🐛 Bug fixes

    • 🛠 Fixed the profile menu wrapping because the avatar shows more often and hiding the profile name was not kept in sync.
    • 🏗 Reverted too early deprecation of the format_fn, builders, wantProperties, wantSteps, wantPreviousBuild, wantLogs arguments of HttpStatusPush.
    • 💅 Reverted accidental too early migration of MasterShellCommand and HTTP steps to new style (#5674).

  • v2.9.1 Changes

    December 05, 2020

    🐛 Bug fixes

    • 🛠 Fixed checkConfig failures in GitHubStatusPush and GitLabStatusPush (#5664).
    • 🛠 Fixed incorrect deprecation notice for the builders argument of GitLabStatusPush.

  • v2.9.0 Changes

    December 04, 2020

    🐛 Bug fixes

    • 🛠 Fixed a bug preventing the timeout=None parameter of CopyDirectory step from having effect (#3032).
    • 🛠 Fixed a bug in GitHubStatusPush that would cause silent failures for builders that specified multiple codebases.
    • 🛠 Fixed display refresh of breadcrumb and topbar contextual action buttons (#5549)
    • 💅 Throwing an exception out of a log observer while processing logs will now correctly fail the step in the case of new style steps.
    • 🛠 Fixed an issue where git fetch would break on tag changes by adding the -f option. This could previously be handled by manually specifying clobberOnFailure, but as that is rather heavy handed and off by default, this new default functionality will keep Buildbot in sync with the repository it is fetching from.
    • 🛠 Fixed GitHubStatusPush logging an error when triggered by the NightlyScheduler
    • 🛠 Fixed GitHub webhook event handler when no token has been set
    • 🛠 Fixed HashiCorpVaultSecretProvider reading secrets attributes, when they are not named value
    • 🛠 Fixed buildbot.changes.HgPoller misuse of hg heads -r <branch> to hg heads <branch> because -r option shows heads that may not be on the wanted branch.
    • 🛠 Fixed inconsistent REST api, buildid vs build_number, #3427
    • 🛠 Fixed permission denied in rmtree() usage in PrivateTemporaryDirectory on Windows
    • 🛠 Fixed AssertionError when calling try client with --dryrun option (#5618).
    • 🛠 Fixed issue with known hosts not working when using git with a version less than 2.3.0
    • ⏱ ForceScheduler now gets Responsible Users from owner property (#3476)
    • ➕ Added support for refs/pull/###/head ref for fetching the issue ID in the GitHub reporter instead of always expecting refs/pull/###/merge.
    • 🛠 Fixed Github v4 API URL
    • Fixed show_old_builders to have expected effects in the waterfall view.
    • 🏗 Latent workers no longer reuse the started worker when it's incompatible with the requested build.
    • 🛠 Fixed handling of submission of non-decoded bytes logs in new style steps.
    • ✂ Removed usage of distutils.LooseVersion is favor of packaging.version
    • ⚡️ Updated OpenstackLatentWorker to use checkConfig/reconfigService structure.
    • 🛠 Fixed OpenstackLatentWorker to use correct method when listing images.
      ⚡️ Updated OpenstackLatentWorker to support renderable flavor, nova_args and meta.
    • 🛠 Fixed support of renderables for p4base and p4branch arguments of the P4 step.
    • 🏗 Buildbot now uses pypugjs library instead of pyjade to render pug templates.
    • ⚡️ Step summary is now updated after the last point where the step status is changed.
      🌲 Previously exceptions in log finish methods would be ignored.
    • Transfer steps now return CANCELLED instead of SUCCESS when interrupted.
    • 🛠 Fixed bytes-related master crash when calling buildbot try (#4488)
    • 🏗 The waterfall modal is now closed upon clicking build summary link
    • 👷 The worker will now report low level cause of errors during the command startup.

    • 🆕 New reporter has been implemented buildbot.reporters.bitbucketserver.BitbucketServerCoreAPIStatusPush.
      🚀 Reporting build status has been integrated into BitbucketServer Core REST API in Bitbucket Server 7.4.
      🏗 Old BitbucketServer Build REST API is still working, but does not provide the new and improved functionality.
    • 🏗 A per-build key-value store and related APIs have been created for transient and potentially large per-build data.
    • ⬆️ Buildbot worker docker image has been upgraded to python3.
    • ➕ Added the ability to copy build properties to the clipboard.
    • The urlText parameter to the DirectoryUpload step is now renderable.

    • A new report generator API has been implemented to abstract generation of various reports that are then sent via the reporters.
      👍 The BitbucketServerPRCommentPush, MailNotifier, PushjetNotifier and PushoverNotifier support this new API via their new generators parameter.

    🗄 Deprecations and Removals

    🏗 buildbot.test.fake.httpclientservice.HttpClientService.getFakeService() has been deprecated. Use getService method of the same class.

    💅 The MTR step has been deprecated due to migration to new style steps and the build result APIs. The lack of proper unit tests made it too time-consuming to migrate this step along with other steps. Contributors are welcome to step in, migrate this step and add a proper test suite so that this situation never happens again.

    💅 Many steps have been migrated to new style from old style.

    💅 This only affects users who use steps as base classes for their own steps. New style steps provide a completely different set of functions that may be overridden. Direct instantiation of step classes is not affected. Old and new style steps work exactly the same in that case and users don't need to do anything.

    🚀 The old-style steps have been deprecated since Buildbot v0.9.0 released in October 2016. The support for old-style steps will be removed entirely Buildbot v3.0.0 which will be released in near future. Users are advised to upgrade their custom steps to new-style steps as soon as possible.

    🚀 A gradual migration path is provided for steps that are likely to be used as base classes. Users need to inherit from <StepName>NewStyle class and convert all overridden APIs to use new-style step APIs. The old-style <StepName> classes will be provided until Buildbot v3.0.0 release. In Buildbot v3.0.0 <StepName> will refer to new-style steps and will be equivalent to <StepName>NewStyle. <StepName>NewStyle aliases will be removed in Buildbot v3.2.0.

    💅 The list of old-style steps that have new-style equivalents for gradual migration is as follows:

    • Configure (new-style equivalent is ConfigureNewStyle)
    • Compile (new-style equivalent is CompileNewStyle)
    • HTTPStep (new-style equivalent is HTTPStepNewStyle)
    • GET, PUT, POST, DELETE, HEAD, OPTIONS (new-style equivalent is GETNewStyle, PUTNewStyle, POSTNewStyle, DELETENewStyle, HEADNewStyle, OPTIONSNewStyle)
    • MasterShellCommand (new-style equivalent is MasterShellCommandNewStyle)
    • ShellCommand (new-style equivalent is ShellCommandNewStyle)
    • SetPropertyFromCommand (new-style equivalent is SetPropertyFromCommandNewStyle)
    • WarningCountingShellCommand (new-style equivalent is WarningCountingShellCommandNewStyle)
    • Test (new-style equivalent is TestNewStyle)

    💅 The list of old-style steps that have been converted to new style without a gradual migration path is as follows:

    • BuildEPYDoc
    • CopyDirectory
    • DebLintian
    • DebPbuilder
    • DirectoryUpload
    • FileDownload
    • FileExists
    • FileUpload
    • HLint

    • LogRenderable
    • MakeDirectory
    • MaxQ
    • Mock
    • MockBuildSRPM
    • MsBuild, MsBuild4, MsBuild12, MsBuild14, MsBuild141
    • MultipleFileUpload
    • PerlModuleTest
    • PyFlakes
    • PyLint
    • RemoveDirectory
    • RemovePYCs
    • RpmLint
    • RpmBuild
    • SetPropertiesFromEnv
    • Sphinx
    • StringDownload
    • TreeSize
    • Trial
    • VC6, VC7, VC8, VC9, VC10, VC11, VC12, VC14, VC141
    • VS2003, VS2005, VS2008, VS2010, VS2012, VS2013, VS2015, VS2017

    ➕ Additionally, all source steps have been migrated to new style without a gradual migration path. Ability to be used as base classes was not documented and thus is considered unsupported. Please submit any custom steps to Buildbot for inclusion into the main tree to reduce maintenance burden. Additionally, bugs can be submitted to expose needed APIs publicly for which a migration path will be provided in the future.

    💅 The list of old-style source steps that have been converted to new style is as follows:

    • Bzr
    • CVS
    • Darcs
    • Gerrit
    • Git
    • GitCommit
    • GitLab
    • GitPush
    • GitTag
    • Monotone
    • Mercurial
    • P4
    • Repo
    • Source

    - SVN

    🚚 The undocumented and broken RpmSpec step has been removed.

    🏗 The usage of certain parameters have been deprecated in BitbucketServerPRCommentPush, MailNotifier, PushjetNotifier and PushoverNotifier reporters. They have been replaced by the generators parameter. The support for the deprecated parameters will be removed in Buildbot v3.0.

    🗄 The list of deprecated parameters is as follows:

    • mode
    • tags
    • builders
    • buildSetSummary
    • messageFormatter
    • subject
    • addLogs
    • addPatch
    • schedulers
    • branches
    • watchedWorkers

    - messageFormatterMissingWorker

    The undocumented NotifierBase class has been renamed to ReporterBase.

    🗄 The undocumented HttpStatusPushBase class has been deprecated. Please use ReporterBase directly.

    🗄 The send method of the reporters based on HttpStatusPushBase has been deprecated. This affects only users who implemented custom reporters that directly or indirectly derive HttpStatusPushBase. Please use sendMessage as the replacement.

    The following reporters have been affected:

    • HttpStatusPush
    • BitbucketStatusPush
    • BitbucketServerStatusPush
    • BitbucketServerCoreAPIStatusPush
    • GerritVerifyStatusPush
    • GitHubStatusPush
    • GitLabStatusPush
    • HipChatStatusPush

    - ZulipStatusPush

    🏗 BuildBot now requires SQLAlchemy 1.2.0 or newer.

    📚 Deprecation warnings have been added to the buildbot.status module. It has been deprecated in documentation since v0.9.0.

    🏗 buildbot.interfaces.WorkerTooOldError is deprecated in favour of buildbot.interfaces.WorkerSetupError

    🚚 The worker_transition module has been removed.
