The logs pull down the output from CouchDB; CouchDB serves as the main dump point of output from a running mobilespec. This is the chosen path for gathering output because we can't get logs for every platform on every environment (i.e. both emulator and device), but we can get network access for each.
I'm not too knowledgeable on why logs aren't programmatically available on every platform, but it is indeed another avenue that has merit, and could eliminate the need for a DB in the middle. What are the reasons that we can't get the logs from some emulators/devices on some platforms? - Dmitry -----Original Message----- From: agri...@google.com [mailto:agri...@google.com] On Behalf Of Andrew Grieve Sent: Wednesday, April 8, 2015 11:54 AM To: Andrew Grieve Cc: dev Subject: Re: cordova-vm.apache.org Although - could you remind me why we need a couchdb? It's a hasstle and will require maintentance. The logs from the builders seem sufficient to me (they show which tests fail). Effort might be better spent improving the tests & fixing bugs.
