12:26 <_hc[m]> I need a build job to generate a URL that links to the build's page in the buildbot website. in GitLab CI, I'd do that via env vars. I haven't found a way to do that here

12:26 <_hc[m]> is there a way to make buildbot put the build properties into the env?

12:41 <glogan> _hc they're called https://docs.buildbot.net/latest/manual/configuration/properties.html

12:41 <_hc[m]> right I've worked with the properties before, I just need a way to pass them to the script that is running in the buildbot build

12:41 <_hc[m]> step

12:42 <glogan> Like this https://github.com/opencast/opencast-project-infrastructure/blob/master/ansible-buildbot-cluster/roles/buildbot-config/templates/common.py#L97?

12:43 <glogan> Or this https://github.com/opencast/opencast-project-infrastructure/blob/master/ansible-buildbot-cluster/roles/buildbot-config/templates/common.py#L114

12:43 <_hc[m]> I guess Interpolate is the key, I tried... (full message at https://libera.ems.host/_matrix/media/r0/download/libera.chat/52376e1f711dc0718005d1a670e5c522143bfb0d)

12:43 <_hc[m]> but that returns an int, so env barfs on that

12:44 <Zash> Something something %(prop:buildnumber)s

12:44 <glogan> That ^

12:44 <glogan> Or use interpolate, which spits out strings.

12:46 <Zash> If your goal is an URL I'd tried something like `util.Interpolate("https://buildbot.example/#/builders/%(????)s/builds/%(prop:buildnumber)s")`

12:47 <_hc[m]> that worked! thanks. The other missing piece is the builder number, which is `%(????)s` in your example

12:47 <_hc[m]> I found `buildername`, but that gives a name that doesn't seem to work in place of the number

12:48 <Zash> hm, I don't see that one in the build properties tab

12:49 <Zash> something `builderid` maybe?

12:52 <_hc[m]> yeah, its not in the build properties tab for me either

12:53 <Zash> noticed under debug, so I imagine it should be reachable somehow

12:54 <Zash> have an existing build thing interpolating in the build number so I knew that's supposed to work already

13:12 <glogan> https://github.com/opencast/opencast-project-infrastructure/blob/master/ansible-buildbot-cluster/roles/buildbot-config/templates/debs.py#L48

13:12 <glogan> prop:buildnumber

13:23 <_hc[m]> `buildnumber` works fine, but no luck with `builderid`
