The buildbot process on Windows doesn't "daemonize" so it never returns to the prompt like it does on POSIX systems. That's expected behavior unless things have changed in 0.9 but I would doubt it (I'm on 0.8.12).
Unless you take the extra steps of turning the buildbot into a Service, you have to leave a cmd window running with that process running inside it. The docs talk about making the buildbot slave into a Service but I've never had much luck with it since it doesn't behave properly if you are building/testing a GUI app (which I am). hth, stephen > On Nov 21, 2016, at 10:54 AM, Glen Neff (gneff) <gn...@cisco.com> wrote: > > I’m new to BuildBot and actually new to deploying Python software on Windows. > I’ve been following the tutorial best I can to do a test deployment of > BuildBot on Windows 10, but the eventual target platform is Windows 8 Server > (not my choice). > > I do actually have a master and a worker functioning, but when I launch the > worker, it works, but I never get the command prompt back, and if I hit > control-C to get the prompt back, or close the cmd window, the worker dies. > > Environment Info: > -Windows version: 10 (proof of concept deployment) > -Python version: 2.7.12 > -Buildbot version: 0.9.1 > -Twisted version: 16.5.0 > > C:\Users\gneff>cd bbworker > > C:\Users\gneff\bbworker>Scripts\activate.bat > > (bbworker) C:\Users\gneff\bbworker>Scripts\buildbot-worker.exe start worker > > (then nothing, unless I hit control-C or kill the cmd window) > > Does anyone have a suggestion on how I can work past this? > > Thanks, > -G > > > > <image002.png> > > Glen Neff > ENGINEER.NETWORK CONSULTING > Cisco Systems, Inc. > > > > United States > cisco.com <http://cisco.com/> > <image004.png>Think before you print. > This email may contain confidential and privileged material for the sole use > of the intended recipient.
