Description David Faure 2012-12-17 13:50:27 UTC

When running make test and some tests fail, I see:

3 tests failed for kdelibs, consult latest/kdelibs/tests-results.log

But for compile errors, I get a full path, which is easier to copy/paste from anywhere. 
Can you do the same for failing tests?

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
module-set
  use-modules kdelibs
  repository kde-git
  cmake-options -DKDE4_BUILD_TESTS=TRUE -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=debugfull -DBUILD_experimental:BOOL=true
  run-tests upload
end module

Actual Results:  
3 tests failed for kdelibs, consult latest/kdelibs/tests-results.log

Expected Results:  
No tests failed :-)  Hehe, just kidding.

3 tests failed for kdelibs, consult /d/kde/src/t/log/latest/kdelibs/tests-results.log

Comment 1 David Faure 2012-12-17 14:35:17 UTC

Ah, I see. In fact for cmake or make errors, there is no path to log file at the time of the error, only at the end....

But it would be very convenient to have it at the time of the problem, so I can look into it without waiting for the full build to complete.

So this request is really: always show path to log file, and always absolute, as soon as the problem is detected (whether that is git, cmake, make, or tests)

Git commit 44b7ffc7844a56cfd183943a569eaf59840f271c by Michael Pyne.
Committed on 24/12/2012 at 19:08.
Pushed by mpyne into branch 'master'.

run-tests: Give full path to test results log.

Turns out the Module class already has a getter for the log directory.

Comment 3 Michael Pyne 2012-12-24 18:13:58 UTC

Actually I'll reopen because I just noticed that the complaint was amended a bit. :)

This only shows log file for test failures, not build/update/etc.
