|
|
type: event
|

|
|
signature: builder, build_state, source, prog
|
|

|
|
summary: This event is emitted before an individual source is built.
|

|
|
body:
|
|
|
|
This event is emitted right before a source is being built into a final build
|
|
artifact. Note that this event in itself does not indicate if the build will
|
|
actually take place or not due to the artifact being current already as such
|
|
the usefulness is limited.
|
|
|
|
The parameters being passed are:
|
|
|
|
* `builder`: a reference to the builder.
|
|
* `build_state`: a reference to the build state object.
|
|
* `source`: the source object that is being processed. (See
|
|
[Source Object :ref](../../../db/obj/) for more information)
|
|
* `prog`: the build program that is being used to process the source. (See
|
|
[Build Program :ref](../../../build/program/) for more information)
|
|
|
|
!!!! Note that currently both the builder as well as the build state are
|
|
undocumented and unsupported! This means that if a plugin choses to use those
|
|
references to do something with it they should consider that they might break
|
|
in future versions.
|
|
|
|
## Example
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
def on_before_build(self, source, prog, **extra):
|
|
print 'building %s' % source.source_filename
|
|
```
