LDAP user auth doc is out of date

[packadal]

The doc for LDAP user info states that

from buildbot.plugins import util
userInfoProvider = util.LdapUserInfo( [...])

is the way to use it, however this fails with:

exceptions.AttributeError: Unable to load buildbot.util:LdapUserInfo: No module named ldapuserinfos

By fiddling a bit I tried

from buildbot.www import ldapuserinfo
userInfoProvider = ldapuserinfo.LdapUserInfo([...])

which works long enough to get buildbot started, but the the web page only contains:

"internal error - see logs"

and the log says:

        Traceback (most recent call last):
          File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/twisted/internet/defer.py", line 1237, in unwindGenerator

          File "/usr/lib64/python2.6/site-packages/twisted/internet/defer.py", line 1099, in _inlineCallbacks

Is this fixed by ​https://github.com/buildbot/buildbot/pull/2006?

I tested with buildbot beta 6 (beta 7 seems tagged, but is not available via pip yet), and I get the exact same errors.

I guess the doc is in line with the beta 7 code, because the new bind_user and bin_pw do not exist in beta 6, I must still use bindUser and bindPw.

@packadal I see beta7 on PyPI: ​https://pypi.python.org/pypi/buildbot/0.9.0b7

I guess the doc is in line with the beta 7 code, because the new bind_user and bin_pw do not exist in beta 6, I must still use bindUser and bindPw.

No, code hasn't changed in recent releases, its an error in docs: should be bindUser, bindPw and buildbot.ldapuserinfo. @jaredgrubb just recently fixed these docs this in master branch.

@packadal, can you check that latest docs correspond to the code in aspects that you noticed? This part: ​http://docs.buildbot.net/latest/manual/cfg-www.html#buildbot.ldapuserinfo.LdapUserInfo

[packadal]

Funny, I just searched for buildbot and it is not there: ​https://pypi.python.org/pypi?%3Aaction=search&term=buildbot-0.9.0b&submit=search

Also when I do pip search buildbot I get

buildbot                                  - The Continuous Integration Framework
  INSTALLED: 0.9.0b6 (latest)

Anyways, the parameter names are now correct, bindPw and bindUser.

However, the doc still states that the import should be from buildbot.plugins import util

Which still does not work.

Looks like this is an issue with PyPI package index: ​https://bitbucket.org/pypa/pypi/issues/326/some-packages-not-showing-up-when

However, the doc still states that the import should be from buildbot.plugins import util

Which still does not work.

It works for me:

$ python
Python 2.7.6 (default, Jun 22 2015, 17:58:13)

>>> from buildbot.plugins import util

<class 'buildbot.www.avatar.AvatarGravatar'>
>>> util.GoogleAuth
<class 'buildbot.www.oauth2.GoogleAuth'>
>>> 

LdapUserInfo available as class in native Python module buildbot.ldapuserinfo and as a util plugin from buildbot.plugins.util.

Latter option (with buildbot.plugins) is a recommended way to use it.

@packadal, is using LdapUserInfo from util plugin doesn't work for you?

[packadal]

I tried the native python way, and I still get the following error:

>>> from buildbot.plugins import util
>>> util.LdapUserInfo
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/buildbot/plugins/db.py", line 240, in __getattr__
    raise AttributeError(str(err))
AttributeError: Unable to load buildbot.util:LdapUserInfo: No module named ldapuserinfos

I tried on another machine that has python 2.7 just in case, where I did a fresh install of buildbot, buildbot-www, buildbot-waterfall-view, buildbot-console-view all of those beta7, and I get the exact same error. (I also installed the required python3-ldap package, and tried installing the ldap3 package since it is the new name of python3-ldap)

Any ideas of what I could do to help you find what the issue is ?

[rutsky]

Oh, this is also fixed in @jaredgrubb's PR: ​https://github.com/buildbot/buildbot/pull/2006/files#diff-9030ee1b7d992477393062826c5decfeL345

So complete fix is available only in master branch at this moment.

I'll close this, as it seems that this issue is resolved.

@packadal feel free to reopen, if it is not completely resolved.
