## What is BuilbBot and why using it?
OFBiz uses [BuilbBot](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buildbot) as its Continuous Integration (CI) tool. There are other CI tools [used at the ASF](https://ci.apache.org/).
+There is also [a file in Git for project paths](https://github.com/apache/infrastructure-p6/blob/production/modules/subversion_server/files/hooks/buildbot_project_paths). You can't clone, but you can make PRs inside it AIUI, via the github UI, just make a new branch and PR it. More information about creating a new branch below.
## OFBiz and BuildBot
[Here is the OFBiz BuildBot script](https://svn.apache.org/repos/infra/infrastructure/buildbot/aegis/buildmaster/master1/projects/ofbiz.conf). If you are interested on modifying it, please understand its content and read the BuildBot documentation. Note that the Infra team is always there to help you.
-There is also [a file in Git for project paths](C:\projectsASF\infrastructure-puppet\modules\subversion_server\files\hooks\buildbot_project_paths "buildbot_project_paths").

### Schedulers and Builders
-BuildBot uses schedulers and builders. Schedulers decide which builders to trigger on svn commits.

You can see the OFBiz builders and their states in the [common Buildbot waterfall view](https://ci.apache.org/waterfall) (look for "ofb").
-The [ofbizTrunkFramework](https://ci.apache.org/builders/ofbizTrunkFramework) builder is triggered on commits in the trunk framework branch. Then only the framework integration tests are run.

-In an OFBiz builder page you can see [an history of the builds up to 100+](https://ci.apache.org/builders/ofbizTrunkFramework).

### Technical information
-When you create a new branch you need to let know BuildBot about it. This because BuildBot uses svn hooks to triggers builds on commits. [The file to change is here](https://github.com/apache/infrastructure-puppet/blob/deployment/modules/subversion_server/files/hooks/buildbot_project_paths)
-You can't make commit in infrastructure-puppet if you are not an infra committer. So you need to clone the repo and make a Pull Request.

## Handling issues
Sometimes (rarely) you can get transient tests errors in BuildBot. This mean tests don't all pass in BuildBot, though they pass in your local instance. In such case, it's most certainly an issue with servers. Those are hard workers and make errors from time to time, which shows that not only human make errors.

-### Randon conflicts on port 8080 during tests
-One case which comes back from time to time is a conflit on port 8080 due to the automatic startup of tomcat. It's due to security patches being applied on Silvanus (one of 3 the servers BuildBot uses for OFBiz, hence the random aspect, only Sylvanus is concerned). In such case we need to ask infra to manually disable Tomcat on Silvanus. This happened 4th already, last case was [INFRA-15829](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-15829)) where things are best explained.
