This patchset uses gitlab's support for putting special lines in the log output that it will interpret as the beginning and end markers for a collapsible section in the build log.
That's documented here, but it's just "write a line with the right format and a timestamp and a magic escape sequence in it": https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/yaml/script.html#expand-and-collapse-job-log-sections Since gitlab puts little "time taken" bubbles for each collapsible section, we can use this to easily find out how much time is taken for build versus test. Patch 1 splits out "make" and "make check" to separate make invocations for the cross-build templates; we do this for the native-build already. Patch 2 adds the shell functions that emit start and end section markers, and puts in section lines in the job templates. Since this is just for convenience in looking at CI job logs, I have not put in a lot of effort into dividing things into sections -- I've mostly just put configure/build/test into the templates. We can always tweak the sections later if we find out it would be useful. If you want to see what the resulting logs look like you can look at the jobs in this pipeline: https://gitlab.com/pm215/qemu/-/pipelines/1458593312 thanks -- PMM Peter Maydell (2): .gitlab-ci.d: Split build and test in cross build job templates .gitlab-ci.d: Make separate collapsible log sections for build and test .gitlab-ci.d/buildtest-template.yml | 14 ++++++++ .gitlab-ci.d/buildtest.yml | 1 + .gitlab-ci.d/crossbuild-template.yml | 48 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++-- scripts/ci/gitlab-ci-section | 29 +++++++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 89 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) create mode 100644 scripts/ci/gitlab-ci-section -- 2.34.1
