Description Darren Hart 2013-05-09 19:59:34 UTC 
I was recently looking for the TMPDIR for the following failed build/test:
https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4469
which links to:
http://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org:8011/builders/nightly-qa-extras/builds/8/steps/Running%20Sanity%20Tests/logs/stdio

Logging into AB05 after reading:
https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Yocto_Build_Failure_Swat_Team#Autobuilder_BKMs

I looked in ~pokybuild/yocto-autobuilder/yocto-slave/ for "nightly-qa-extras" as that is mentioned in the log and the stdio URL. It wasn't present.

So.... where do I go to find the TMPDIR?

It took some diffinf just to find that it was ab05 and the ~pokybuild/yocto-autobuilder/yocto-slave/ path. Perhaps we can make some of these high level variables that we need for access to be better called out in some kind of summary so people don't have to hunt for them? Especially stupid people like me?

I've updated the wiki to include some of the more recent work. However, one thing I'd like to see out of this is a way to call out those common variables on the builds page. Let me look into this.

Yikes, problem is that it's now yocto-autobuilder-new!

/srv/home/pokybuild/yocto-autobuilder-new/yocto-slave/nightly-qa-extras/build/build
Comment 3 Beth Flanagan 2013-05-10 08:13:03 UTC 
Right. I've updated the wiki to let folks know that it's yocto-autobuilder-new for the new ab and yocto-autobuilder for the old.
Comment 4 Beth Flanagan 2013-07-29 18:16:58 UTC 
The deliverable here is better wiki documentation and I've updated the BKM page to reflect the new location.
