trigger recipe module

Trigger recipe allows you to trigger new builds and pass arbitrary properties.

Examples

Basic:

api.trigger({
    'builder_name': 'HelloWorld',
    'properties': {
        'my_prop': 123,
    },
})

This triggers a new build on HelloWorld builder with “my_prop” build property set to 123.

You can trigger multiple builds in one steps:

api.trigger(
    {'builder_name': 'Release'},
    {'builder_name': 'Debug'},
)

You can trigger a build on a different buildbot master:

api.trigger({
    'builder_name': 'Release',
    'bucket': 'master.tryserver.chromium.linux', # specify master name here.
})

This uses buildbucket underneath and must be configured.

Specify different Buildbot changes:

api.trigger({
    'builder_name': 'Release',
    'buildbot_changes': [{
        'author': 'someone@chromium.org',
        'branch': 'master',
        'files': ['a.txt.'],
        'comments': 'Refactoring',
        'revision': 'deadbeef',
        'revlink':
          'http://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/deadbeef',
        'when_timestamp': 1416859562,
    }]
})

WARNING: on buildbot, this requires certain configuration on the master prior first use. See more below.

Master configuration for buildbucket triggering

• if you don't use builders.pyl, in master.cfg of the source master ActiveMaster parameter MUST be passed to AnnotationFactory for the builder that is triggering a build.
• source master's master_site_config.py MUST have service_account_(file|path) set
• the source master‘s service account must have permissions to schedule builds in the target master’s bucket. If they use same service account, it is fine.
• the target master MUST be polling buildbucket
