When you create a new branch you need to let know BuildBot about it. This
because BuildBot uses Git hooks to triggers builds on commits. [The file to
change is
here](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 via the github UI, just make a new
branch and PR it.
## 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.

Before doing anything it's best to check which BuildBot step is impacted, and
if it exists have a look at the logfile (stdio)

-~~In such case you can trigger a build from IRC to see if the problem resolves
by itself.~~ This is currently no longer working, see
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-22297. So you need to make a small
non functional reversible change, pushing it and later reverting it.
+In such case, after logging in Buildbot using as credential your Apache email
and your LDAP password, you can trigger a build from BuildBot UI to see if the
problem resolves by itself. For that open the last commit and use the "Rebuid"
button at top-right.
Most of the time tests and issues are resolved this way. If it does not then
the best is to ask Infra help, either on [Infra Slack
channel](https://the-asf.slack.com/archives/CBX4TSBQ8) or by creating an [Infra
Jira issue](https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/INFRA/summary).
-~~When something like that happens, I get to IRC (I use
https://web.libera.chat/, of course you can pick your own). There using a
recognisable username (I use jleroux) I get to the #ofbiz channel. I use
ofbiz-bot to make a request in the chat line at bottom to restart a build.~~

-A request is of the form
-
- force build ofbizTrunkFramework

-you can put the text you want to appear in builder, after this expression,
something like

- forces manual build after weird error

-So the whole request is of the form

- force build ofbizTrunkFramework forces manual build after weird error

-Note that with our last config (see
[INFRA-15394](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-15394)) the plugins
builders are dependent and automatically launched by the framework builders but
only on commits. So if you use an IRC command like `force build
ofbizTrunkFramework` only this builder will be launched not the dependent
ofbizTrunkFrameworkPlugins. We can't call a scheduler from IRC. It needs a Git
commit.

### Random conflicts on port 8080 during tests
Though today (2021-12-31) this seems to not happen anymore, 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 one of 3 the
servers BuildBot uses for OFBiz, hence the random aspect. In such case we need
to ask infra to manually disable Tomcat on this server. This happened 4th times
already, last case was
[INFRA-15829](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-15829) where things
