构建工具buildbot教程 持续交付与构建

Buildbot是python实现的开源持续构建和持续交付工具，为Python, Mozilla, Chromium, WebKit等知名项目使用。

与Jenkins相比，Buildbot在大陆使用者较少。原因在于Jenkins的界面相对较美观，更容易上手；Jenkins的中文文档比较丰富。但是Jenkins因为资源消耗庞大、不太方便定制而不受一些有实力的公司欢迎。这些不少把目光聚焦在Buildbot。

究竟Buildbot有哪些优点让这些公司青睐呢？Buildbot基于python网络框架Twisted，分布式做得好。Buildbot可以直接使用python包，轻松拥有上万库，具备强大的扩展能力。如果你觉得Jenkins已经轻松地满足你的需求，你不需要Buildbot。如果你在Jenkins时觉得效率低下、扩展困难、一些用python等脚本可以实现的动作在Jenkins困难重重，那么可以看看Buildbot。

Buildbot是开源的自动化软件构建，测试，发布流程的框架。

Buildbot支持跨平台，分布式，并行执行jobs，与版本控制系统的灵活集成，丰富的状态报告等等。

Buildbot是一个作业调度系统：它会对作业进行排队，在所需要的资源可用时执行任务，并报告结果。

Buildbot有一个或多个主机和从机。主机监控源代码库的变化，调配从机，并给用户和开发者报告结果。从机可在多种操作系统上运行。

可以配置Python脚本到主机。这个脚本可以简单到只配置内置组件，也可以充分发挥python所长，可以动态生成的配置，定制的组件及其他任何你能想到的。

该框架基于Twisted实现，并与所有主要的操作系统兼容。

Buildbot支持持续集成，持续部署，发布管理等的。Buildbot支持持续集成测试，自动化复杂的编译系统，应用程序部署和复杂的软件发布流程管理。比CruiseControl或Jenkins更适合混合语言的环境。在 Chromium,WebKit, Firefox, Python和Twisted等有广泛的使用。

缺点：buildbot对多项目支持并不好。

安装

目的

本教程从零开始，尽可能快地运行您的第一个buildbot master和worker，而不会更改默认配置。

本教程假设您正在运行Linux，但可能适用于Windows。

准备

pip3 install buildbot
pip3 install buildbot-www
pip3 install buildbot-grid-view 
pip3 install  buildbot-console_view
pip3 install  buildbot-worker
pip3 install  setuptools-trial

创建master

$ buildbot create-master master
mkdir /opt/master
creating /opt/master/master.cfg.sample
creating database (sqlite:///state.sqlite)
buildmaster configured in /opt/master
$ mv master/master.cfg.sample master/master.cfg
$ buildbot start master
Following twistd.log until startup finished..
The buildmaster appears to have (re)started correctly.

日志在master/twistd.log

此时访问　http://localhost:8010/

创建worker

$ buildbot-worker create-worker worker localhost example-worker pass
mkdir /opt/worker
mkdir /opt/worker/info
Creating info/admin, you need to edit it appropriately.
Creating info/host, you need to edit it appropriately.
Not creating info/access_uri - add it if you wish
Please edit the files in /opt/worker/info appropriately.
worker configured in /opt/worker
$ buildbot-worker start worker
Following twistd.log until startup finished..
The buildbot-worker appears to have (re)started correctly.

日志在worker/twistd.log

快速入门

本章从china-testing拉取代码，调用pytest执行buildbot/hello-world/hello下的单元测试。

配置项目名和URL

$ vi master/master.cfg
# -*- python -*-
# ex: set filetype=python:

from buildbot.plugins import *

# This is a sample buildmaster config file. It must be installed as
# 'master.cfg' in your buildmaster's base directory.

# This is the dictionary that the buildmaster pays attention to. We also use
# a shorter alias to save typing.
c = BuildmasterConfig = {}

####### WORKERS

# The 'workers' list defines the set of recognized workers. Each element is
# a Worker object, specifying a unique worker name and password.  The same
# worker name and password must be configured on the worker.
c['workers'] = [worker.Worker("example-worker", "pass")]

# 'protocols' contains information about protocols which master will use for
# communicating with workers. You must define at least 'port' option that workers
# could connect to your master with this protocol.
# 'port' must match the value configured into the workers (with their
# --master option)
c['protocols'] = {'pb': {'port': 9989}}

####### CHANGESOURCES

# the 'change_source' setting tells the buildmaster how it should find out
# about source code changes.  Here we point to the buildbot version of a python hello-world project.

c['change_source'] = []
c['change_source'].append(changes.GitPoller(
        'git://github.com/china-testing/python-api-tesing.git',
        workdir='gitpoller-workdir', branch='master',
        pollinterval=300))

####### SCHEDULERS

# Configure the Schedulers, which decide how to react to incoming changes.  In this
# case, just kick off a 'runtests' build

c['schedulers'] = []
c['schedulers'].append(schedulers.SingleBranchScheduler(
                            name="all",
                            change_filter=util.ChangeFilter(branch='master'),
                            treeStableTimer=None,
                            builderNames=["runtests"]))
c['schedulers'].append(schedulers.ForceScheduler(
                            name="force",
                            builderNames=["runtests"]))

####### BUILDERS

# The 'builders' list defines the Builders, which tell Buildbot how to perform a build:
# what steps, and which workers can execute them.  Note that any particular build will
# only take place on one worker.

factory = util.BuildFactory()
# check out the source
factory.addStep(steps.Git(repourl='git://github.com/china-testing/python-api-tesing.git', mode='incremental'))
# run the tests (note that this will require that 'trial' is installed)
factory.addStep(steps.ShellCommand(command=["pytest", "buildbot/hello-world/hello"]))

c['builders'] = []
c['builders'].append(
    util.BuilderConfig(name="runtests",
      workernames=["example-worker"],
      factory=factory))

####### BUILDBOT SERVICES

# 'services' is a list of BuildbotService items like reporter targets. The
# status of each build will be pushed to these targets. buildbot/reporters/*.py
# has a variety to choose from, like IRC bots.

c['services'] = []

####### PROJECT IDENTITY

# the 'title' string will appear at the top of this buildbot installation's
# home pages (linked to the 'titleURL').

c['title'] = "Hello World CI"
c['titleURL'] = "https://github.com/china-testing/python-api-tesing"

# the 'buildbotURL' string should point to the location where the buildbot's
# internal web server is visible. This typically uses the port number set in
# the 'www' entry below, but with an externally-visible host name which the
# buildbot cannot figure out without some help.

c['buildbotURL'] = "http://localhost:8010/"

# minimalistic config to activate new web UI
c['www'] = dict(port=8010,
                plugins=dict(waterfall_view={}, console_view={}, grid_view={}))

####### DB URL

c['db'] = {
    # This specifies what database buildbot uses to store its state.  You can leave
    # this at its default for all but the largest installations.
    'db_url' : "sqlite:///state.sqlite",
}
