NAME

bbdispatch - Dispatch Test::BrewBuild builds to remote test servers.

SYNOPSIS

Dispatch a default brewbuild test run on the two listed remote servers, using the repository you're currently working in:

    bbdispatch -t 10.0.0.1:7800 -t 10.0.0.2:9999

Dispatch a custom command to a single remote tester:

    bbdispatch -c "brewbuild -R" -t 10.0.0.1:7800

Have the remote testers test a specified repository:

    bbdispatch -r https://github.com/user/repo-name -t 10.0.0.1:7800

Add debugging to any other command string:

    bbdispatch [...] -d 0-7

Set maximum number of concurrent testers to communicate with (default is 4):

    bbdispatch [...] -f 8

Example output of a basic run where I'm in a git repository directory:

    bbdispatch -t localhost -t 192.168.252.90 -t 192.168.252.96 -t 192.168.252.95

    192.168.252.95 - x86_64-linux

    5.22.1 :: PASS

    192.168.252.90 - MSWin32-x64-multi-thread

    5.18.4 :: PASS
    5.22.1 :: PASS

    localhost - MSWin32-x64-multi-thread

    5.22.1 :: FAIL

    192.168.252.96 - amd64-freebsd

    5.22.1 :: PASS
    5.23.7 :: PASS
    5.8.9 :: FAIL
    5.10.1 :: FAIL
    5.18.4 :: FAIL

All FAIL log files are stored locally when dispatching to identify the issues. If I'm letting BrewBuild determine the repository, the files will be stored in ./bblog. If a repo is specified, they'll be put into ~/brewbuild/repo/bblog.

    192.168.252.96_5.10.1-FAIL.bblog
    192.168.252.96_5.18.4-FAIL.bblog
    192.168.252.96_5.8.9-FAIL.bblog
    localhost_5.22.1-FAIL.bblog

DESCRIPTION

This script dispatches brewbuild build sets to pre-configured Test::BrewBuild::Tester test servers.

By default, we try to look up the repository information from your current working directory. If it can't be found, you must supply it on the command line or within the configuration file.

COMMAND LINE OPTIONS

-t, --testers

A list of testers to dispatch to. Can be sent in multiple times. Format of the testers is IP:Port. If Port is ommitted, we'll default to 7800.

Testers can also be configured within the config file. Testers set on the CLI will override those.

-c, --cmd

By default, the testers will simply run brewbuild. You can send in any brewbuild commands here within quotes, so long as the first argument is brewbuild.

This option will override anything in the configuration file.

-r, --repo

By default, if a repository isn't specified in the config file, we'll attempt to locate the repository information from the current working directory.

Set this to the repo link to override both.

-d, --debug

Set to 0-7 to enable debug logging.

-f, --forks

By default, we maintain four (4) testers concurrently. Pass an integer to this argument to change the default number of concurrent testers.
