better if it can be diagnosed and suppressed by fixing the test's
implementation, or by making its parameters - such as a timeout - more robust.


Custom builders
===============

.. highlight:: console

When working on a platform-specific issue, you may want to test your changes on
the buildbot fleet rather than just on GitHub Actions and Azure Pipelines. To do so, you can
make use of the `custom builders
<https://buildbot.python.org/all/#/builders?tags=%2Bcustom>`_.
These builders track the ``buildbot-custom`` short-lived branch of the
``python/cpython`` repository, which is only accessible to core developers.

To start a build on the custom builders, push the commit you want to test to
the ``buildbot-custom`` branch::

$ git push upstream <local_branch_name>:buildbot-custom

You may run into conflicts if another developer is currently using the custom
builders or forgot to delete the branch when they finished. In that case, make
sure the other developer is finished and either delete the branch or force-push
(add the ``-f`` option) over it.

When you have gotten the results of your tests, delete the branch::

$ git push upstream :buildbot-custom # or use the GitHub UI

If you are interested in the results of a specific test file only, we
recommend you change (temporarily, of course) the contents of the
``buildbottest`` clause in ``Makefile.pre.in``; or, for Windows builders,
the ``Tools/buildbot/test.bat`` script.
