For example, in <https://webkit-queues.appspot.com/results/5200799210668032> we have an EWS failure that contains a log file with no errors. It simply contains a series of "Build succeeded" messages, followed by a "Build Failed" with no explanation. 1066310 1 bfulgham 2015-02-02 18:02:20 -0800 Another good example: <https://webkit-queues.appspot.com/results/6313512225734656>. How can anyone tell what's wrong? 1074553 2 bfulgham 2015-03-05 09:56:34 -0800 This problem may be largely resolved by Bug 140845, since we can pass the "/verbosity:minimal" flag to MSBuild.
