769897 - Win32 Builders have wrong basedir set for buildbot.tac

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(SeaMonkey :: Release Engineering, defect)

Description

[Justin Wood (:Callek)]

So, I was trying to figure out why our SeaMonkey 2.11b4 windows builds were messing up. (Specifically trying to grab a mozconfig, and failing to |cat| it, and then on closer inspection, we were actually building thunderbird :/

I noticed the difference between this and the previously successful beta build, and it was in the "in dir" path, which is also the "basedir" as specified in buildbot.tac

What we had before:

basedir = r'/builds/slave'

which is obviously what we had on a linux slave.

What I changed it to:

basedir = 'e:\\builds\\slave'

I did this change on all our win32 slaves right now, with one exception sea-vm-win32-1, which I can't seem to RDP into, if it doesn't come up soon will file an IT bug on that.

vm-1 is done too.

I'm surprised we didn't hit this before (and we are lucky that we didn't hit this before)

BTW: Fallen, I CC'ed you as a warning incase your windows buildbot.tac has a unix basedir rather than the win-style one.

Thanks, I checked and luckily we already had a windows-style directory.
