Robin Sommer reassigned BIT-1476: --------------------------------- Assignee: Robin Sommer > btest-diff can generate too much output when a test fails > --------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: BIT-1476 > URL: https://bro-tracker.atlassian.net/browse/BIT-1476 > Project: Bro Issue Tracker > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: BTest > Reporter: Daniel Thayer > Assignee: Robin Sommer > > When btest-diff fails for a test, it shows the file and then the diff of > the file vs. the baseline. For small output sizes, this can be very useful, > but it > doesn't seem useful when one must scroll through hundreds (or thousands) of > lines of output just to find where the diff begins. There is a MAX_LINES > parameter > in btest-diff to truncate the output of huge files, but it cannot be > customized and > the default value is 5000, which seems really excessive. There is also a > TEST_DIFF_BRIEF option to prevent showing any file contents, but this is > not desirable to use for tests with small baselines, and having to set it for > each > test with a large baseline seems like too much of a maintenance burden. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.0.0-OD-07-011#70107) _______________________________________________ bro-dev mailing list bro-dev@bro.org http://mailman.icsi.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/bro-dev
