Bug fixes

  • buildbot.changes.bitbucket.BitbucketPullrequestPoller has been updated to emit the change files.
  • Fixed build status key sent to Bitbucket exceeding length limits (#7249).
  • Fixed a race condition resulting in EXCEPTION build results when build steps that are about to end are cancelled.
  • Buildrequests are now selected by priority and then by buildrequestid (previously, Buildbot used the age as the secondary sort parameter). This preserves the property of choosing the oldest buildrequest, but makes it predictable which buildrequest will be selected, as there might be multiple buildrequests with the same age.
  • Fixed worker to fail a step uploadDirectory instead of throwing an exception when directory is not available. (#5878)
  • Added missing parent_buildid and parent_relationship keys to the buildset completion event in the Data API.
  • Improved handling of Docker containers that fail before worker attaches to master.
    In such case build will be restarted immediately instead of waiting for a timeout to expire.
  • The accessibility of secret files has been enhanced by enabling group-readability. Previously, secret files were exclusively accessible to the owner. Now, accessibility has been expanded to allow group members access as well. This enhancement is particularly beneficial when utilizing Systemd's LoadCredential feature, which configures secrets with group-readable (0o440) permissions.
  • MailNotifier now works correctly when SSL packages are installed but useTls=False and auth (smtpUser, smtpPassword) is not set. (#5609)
  • P4 now reports the correct got_revision when syncing a changelist that only delete files
  • P4 step now use the rev-spec format //{p4client}/...@{revision} when syncing with a revision
  • Fixed incorrect propagation of option --proxy-connection-string into buildbot.tac when creating new Worker.
  • Fixed link to Builder in React Grid View.
  • Addressed a number of timing errors in Nightly scheduler by upgrading croniter code.

Changes

  • Buildbot will render step properties and check if step should be skipped before acquiring locks. This allows to skip waiting for locks in case step is skipped.
  • The isRaw and isCollection attributes of the Endpoint type have been deprecated. Endpoint is used to extend the Buildbot API. As a replacement use the new kind attribute.
  • AbstractLatentWorker.check_instance() now accepts error message being supplied in case instance is not good. The previous API has been deprecated.
  • The published Docker image for the worker now uses Debian 11 (Bullseye) as base image.
  • The published Docker image for the worker now runs Buildbot in virtualenv.

Improved Documentation

  • Describe an existing bug with Libvirt latent workers that does not use a copy of the image (#7122).

Features

  • The new React-based web frontend is no longer experimental. To enable please see the documentation on upgrading to 4.0 for more information. The new web frontend includes the following improvements compared to legacy AngularJS web frontend:

    • Project support (initially released in Buildbot 3.9.0).
    • Steps now show the amount of time spent waiting for locks.
    • The log viewer now supports huge logs without problems.
    • The log viewer now includes a search box that downloads entire log on-demand without additional button click.
    • The log viewer now supports downloading log file both as a file and also showing it inline in the browser.
    • The colors of the website can be adjusted from Buildbot configuration via www["theme"] key.
    • Buildsteps and pending buildrequests have anchor links which allows linking directly to them from external web pages.

  • Workers can now be created to use connection string right out of the box when new option --connection-string= is used.

  • Docker Latent workers will now show last logs in Buildbot UI when their startup fails.

  • Added EndpointKind.RAW_INLINE data API endpoint type which will show the response data inline in the browser instead of downloading as a file.

  • Implemented a way to specify volumes for containers spawned by KubeLatentWorker.

  • Nightly scheduler now supports forcing builds at specific times even if onlyIfChanged parameter was true and there were no important changes.

  • buildbot.steps.source.p4.P4 can now take a p4client_type argument to set the client type (More information on client type here)

  • Added data and REST APIs to retrieve only projects with active builders.

  • Improved step result reporting to specify whether step failed due to a time out.

  • Added tags option to the Git source step to download tags when updating repository.

  • Worker now sends failure_reason update when the command it was running timed out.

Deprecations and Removals

  • Legacy AngularJS web frontend will be removed in Buildbot 4.0. Fixes to React web frontend that are regressions from AngularJS web frontend will be backported to 3.x Buildbot series to make migration easier.

  • Buildbot Master now requires Python 3.8 or newer. Python 3.7 is no longer supported.

  • buildbot.util.croniter module has been deprecated in favor of using Pypi croniter package.

  • master.data.updates.setWorkerState() has been deprecated. Use master.data.updates.set_worker_paused() and master.data.updates.set_worker_graceful() as replacements.

  • Buildbot now requires docker of version v4.0.0 or newer for Docker support.

  • BuildStep instances are now more strict about when their attributes can be changed. Changing attributes of BuildStep instances that are not yet part of any build is most likely an error. This is because such instances are only being used to configure a builder as a source to create real steps from. In this scenario any attribute changes are ignored as far as build configuration is concerned.

    Such changing of attributes has been deprecated and will become an error in the future release.

    For customizing BuildStep after an instance has already been created set_step_arg(name, value) function has been added.
