Getting Error On First Run With Buildbot

Question

I'm following the docs trying to get Buildbot working for the first time and I keep getting the same error:

2017-08-04 13:58:45-0400 [-] while starting BuildMaster
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "/home/mike/tmp/bb-master/sandbox/lib/python2.7/site-packages/twisted/internet/defer.py", line 1442, in gotResult

      File "/home/mike/tmp/bb-master/sandbox/lib/python2.7/site-packages/twisted/internet/defer.py", line 1386, in _inlineCallbacks

      File "/home/mike/tmp/bb-master/sandbox/lib/python2.7/site-packages/buildbot/www/service.py", line 274, in setupSite
        "could not find plugin %s; is it installed?" % (key,))
    exceptions.RuntimeError: could not find plugin grid_view; is it installed?

You can see in the last error message it says the grid_view plugin could not be found. I'm not sure if I need to do anything else not outlined in the docs. I'm assuming when installing Buildbot it would install the proper plugins needed.

Has anyone came across this error when running Buildbot? Any ideas on how to get Buildbot running?

Python version: 2.7.5
Buildbot version: 0.9.10
Twisted version: 17.5.0

Link to the docs I'm following.

Answer 1

Seems like an issue with BuildBot's documentation (or something changed in the process and the documentation hasn't been updated).

If you run the following command, your install should work.

pip install buildbot-grid-view
