Package: autopkgtest Version: 2.3.2 Severity: wishlist Hi,
it would be nice if autopkgtest would make the test output more readable. There's two things I'd want: * Do not split stderr and stdout - errors are often meaningless if they are not shown with their normal stdout context This could be achieved by printing stdout and stderr to the same buffer, while still erroring out on any stderr output. Possibly stderr lines could be prefixed by "E:" (and stdout maybe by " " so there's some alignment). autopkgtest could then still print out a "there was stderr content: ..." section at the end of the test. Oh, and please don't clip stderr to such a short prefix as it is done now - paths in build environments are often very long. * Please print the output while the tests are running so the user can watch it The workaround to tail -f some file in /tmp is arkward, and doesn't work at all when running in Jenkins. This would even go along very well with the first item here not to print stdout/err separately. Christoph -- c...@df7cb.de | http://www.df7cb.de/
