Buildbot Howto

This page describes how to setup the AMF gateway for Buildbot that can be used by other programs to query the build status.

Download

Grab the Flex and Python example clients from SVN with:

svn co http://svn.pyamf.org/examples/sandbox/buildbot buildbot-example

Alternatively, if you just want to have a look, you can browse the example source online.

   from buildbot.status import html
   from amf import AMFServer
   
   public = html.WebStatus(http_port="8080", allowForce=False)
   public.putChild('amf', AMFServer())
   

3. Restart your buildmaster and check if the AMF gateway is working by browsing to http://localhost:8080/amf. This should return something like this:

   Method Not Allowed
