Bug 203678 – [EWS] Limit API tests failures to display in the status-bubble tooltip and buildbot summary

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Tools / Tests

[Aakash Jain]

Sometimes a patch can break hundreds of API tests. In those cases, the status-bubble tries to display all those hundreds of failures, and becomes unreadable. Similarly buildbot build page display all the failing test names in the summary string, and becomes pretty unreadable. For e.g.: https://ews-build.webkit.org/#/builders/3/builds/11258 has 788 API test failures and the build page is unreadable.

We should limit the number of failures to display in the status-bubble and summary strings. Complete list of failing tests can still be seen in the logs of the test-run and the json output.
