Add script that filters the output of build-webkit to be more human-readable

• Component: Tools / Tests
• Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE

[Matthew Delaney]

For at least on mac, the output of build-webkit is incredibly verbose. This makes finding build failures difficult either on your machine, or more importantly, on a mac EWS bot that normally has to truncate the build output log for whatever reason.

I've seen (and heard of) scripts floating around that filter the output to just show the important error details. These should be incorporated into the build-webkit script and be used on the bots. Hey, it might even shave off a little time per run on the bots to not have to hit the disk so much!

I agree!  I used to even have one of such scripts...

Do you know why the logs are truncated on the mac build bots right now? Doing 'build-webkit | grep -v setenv' as kilzer suggests would be a super fast for the short term. Any chance we could throw that in there on the bots?

[Matthew Delaney]

Nevermind, I've got a script that's awesome that's been floating around. I'll throw a patch up for it soon here.

Duplicate? The patch is an updated version of the patch on:
<http://webkit.org/b/44081> build-webkit output could be easier to read in most situations

Really?  You've been working on this script a long time!

I'd suggest "Analyze" here as well for clang's static analyzer.

For simplicity, I'm duping this against bug 44081 as Joe suggests since it has the old version patch of the script there with other ideas for it and how to incorporate it into the actual build-webkit script.
