#2040: .buildbot-sourcedata sometimes contains unicode strings, causes full
resync
during builds
--------------------+-----------------------
Reporter: dberger | Owner:
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: major | Milestone: undecided
Version: 0.8.4p1 | Keywords:
--------------------+-----------------------
we don't have a perfect repro yet, but we noticed that some of our
upgraded builders (0.7.11p3 -> 0.8.4p1) like to do full resyncs on force
builds and after build failures. a newly created builder hasn't exhibited
this problem.
we're using perforce.
after much tracking down, it looks like the common thread is that the
misbehaving builders have u'/perforce/branch/path' in their buildbot-
sourcedata file, rather than '/perforce/branch/path' - which suggests that
args['branch'] is coming in unicode, and being written to the file that
way.
If/as we learn more, I'll update the ticket.
