new-run-webkit-tests: add more --log options

• Component: Tools / Tests
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Dirk Pranke]

We should add options to be able to turn off and on all of the blocks that are sent to stderr. Most are currently configurable, but we can't turn off the default progress meter, or the unexpected results or the summary at the end of the run. It would also be good to have a way to indicate that you explicitly want nothing logged (--log '' can be easily lost in shell escaping mechanisms).

Seems strange that some of these are constants and some are not:
 LOG_VALUES = ",".join(("actual", "config", LOG_DETAILED_PROGRESS, "expected",
 100                       LOG_NOTHING, LOG_PROGRESS, LOG_SUMMARY, "timing",
 101                       LOG_UNEXPECTED, LOG_UNEXPECTED_RESULTS))

Seems OK.  I don't know much about python's built in logging.  I wonder if we're re-inventing any of that here.

I was wondering that myself.  The logging module allows one to turn various loggers on and off using different techniques when configuring logging (e.g. by name using the name hierarchy, based on the message, etc).

By the way, a function (e.g. log_values()) might be more appropriate here than a constant built from other constants.

From my limited looking at the logging docs, it looked like it would be a lot more cumbersome, if possible at all.

This whole thing is about to get rewritten to be easier to maintain, so I'll deal with it then.
