upgrade-master doesn't support master.cfg located outside of basedir

[KeiKun]

Some buildbot subcommands (e.g., buildbot checkconfig) currently assume that Buildbot's configuration file is named master.cfg, and is located in the master's basedir. This is not always the case. The name amd location of the config file are specified in the master's buildbot.tac, which is always in the basedir.

All of the buildbot subcommands should support a master.cfg that is not in the default location. Tests should verify that this is the case.

At least 'buildbot checkconfig' and 'buildbot upgrade-master' do not work correctly.

okay i guess the problem about my report is i didn't specified it but anyways i guess its my fault either i didn't tell that i was using 2 commands since before you run you do a test. now since the command "buildbot start" works fine now. after changing the new path of the master.cfg. i was wondering now why the other commands still uses old path of master.cfg. for example since "buildbot start" works without other things not like the other 2 commands("buildbot checkconfig" and "buildbot reconfig") requires path of new master.cfg like as my issue was /home/user/buildbot ("buildbot checkconfig /home/user/buildbot/master.cfg") for the command to work.

Im saying.. Why those 2 commands requires the New path of master.cfg for it to work. isn't it when you run those commands it will automatically use the new path of master.cfg instead of the old one?

Hi!

i was trying to change my master.cfg location like for example its my buildmaster is located at /home/user/master/ (and so as my master.cfg is found) i wanna change my master.cfg location to /home/user/buildbot/

i tried editing

configfile = r'master.cfg' to configfile = r'/home/user/buildbot/master.cfg'

but still buildbot is finding the master.cfg in /home/user/master/ why is this happening
