Thought I'd give buildbot a try. So I followed the tutorial, doing these:
sudo pip install virtualenv 'buildbot[bundle]'
virtualenv bb-master
source bb-master/bin/activate
buildbot create-master master
buildbot start
All goes well until that last command, when I get:
Following twistd.log until startup finished.. The buildmaster took more than 10 seconds to start, so we were unable to confirm that it started correctly. Please 'tail twistd.log' and look for a line that says 'BuildMaster is running' to verify correct startup.
twistd.log is empty, and I get no other output. I've tried adding --nodaemon to no avail. Does anyone else hit this issue?
Python 3.6.0, Buildbot 0.9.5, Twistd 17.1.0, Arch Linux (tried on Alpine v3.5 too with the same results)
Edit: in addition to the steps above I also renamed master.cfg.sample to master.cfg as specified in the instructions.
Turns out I was installing it under Python 3, which is not yet supported.
In my defence the tutorial is a little unclear as it includes sections for Python 2 and Python 3 when talking about virtualenv. In any case, I'm now up and running!
