Thread: [Fwd: PGBuildfarm member narwhal Branch HEAD Status changed from OK to InstallCheck failure]

This was another occurance of the strange create index failure on
Narwhal - unfortunately, despite having 'keep_error_builds' => 1 in my
BF config it seems to have removed the tree so I can't get the dump that
Tom wanted.

Does anyone know why the keep_error_builds option didn't work in this
case? Or have I misinterpreted it's meaning?

Regards, Dave.

Well, "anyone" will usually be me ;-)

To the best of my knowledge and belief it does work. This is the code it
should cause to be executed:
my $timestr = strftime "%Y-%m-%d-%H:%M:%S", localtime($now);move("$pgsql", "pgsqlkeep.$timestr");move("inst",
"instkeep.$timestr")   if (-d "inst") ;
 

Please see if you can trap the script stdout/stderr somewhere so that next
time it fails you can send it to me.

How exactly do you have the buildfarm runs automated? Maybe that does a
little cleaning of its own?

cheers

Yeah, I know but I didn't want to presume :-)

I already log the run output - there's nothing unusual in there.

A simple batch script, run from the task scheduler which fires off the
script. It doesn't do any cleanup at all.
