Buildbot Connect README

Buildbot is a system to automate the compile/test cycle required by most software projects to validate code changes. By automatically rebuilding and testing the project each time something has changed, build problems are pinpointed quickly, before other developers are inconvenienced by the failure.

This extension provides connection between Visual Studio Code and Buildbot. It allows to manually start and stop builds and check their status without leaving the IDE.

Features

• List active builders and quickly open them in a browser.
• Show last build time and status.
• Quickly open specific Buildbot web interface page.
• Force a build using configured force scheduler.
• Stop any running build.

Extension Settings

This extension uses Buildbot REST API, so you need a properly configured Buildbot web interface. In order to use it, you need to specify the following settings (it is recommended to set them in the workspace or folder scope):

• buildbot.URL: URL address of your Buildbot web interface.
• buildbot.allowSelf-signedCertificate: you need to set it to true if your Buildbot is accessed through HTTPS with a self-signed certificate. Otherwise I recommend to leave to false.
• buildbot.userName: if your buildbot web API requires login, specify the username here. You will be asked for a password during the first connection attempt and it will be stored securely. Only HTTP authorization and simple username/password authentication is supported.

Known Issues

If you have no right to access some sub-page, the plugin will keep asking you for a password.
