When running bugzilla-tool in --commit-queue mode, it produces a ton of output, most of which is not helpful for understanding what's going on. It would be useful to have a --quiet option for land-patches that suppressed most of the noise. In order of importance: 1) I don't need to see the build spew. It fine just to see "Building...". 2) I don't need to see the test spew. "Testing..." is fine. 3) If the tests fail it would be useful to see which ones. For example, grep the ouput for "fail" and "crash". 4) If a build fails, it would be useful to see which file failed to compile. This would make commit-queue about a 100x easy to run.
I think some of this should be added to the sub-tools. maybe a --failures only mode for both run-webkit-tests and build-webkit. run-webkit-tests would be easy to add that for. build-webkit might be a little harder, but certainly doable!
--failures-only is what I meant.

Comment on attachment 34310 [details] An 80% solution. I'm not sure this is the best way to ignore output. Not I've used .communicate() and ginored the results in other places. Python has a ternary operator. You better sit down before you read it though: child_stdout = open(os.devnull, "w") if quiet else None Why not just print before every subcommand? print "build-webkit..." I don't really like the "..."

I've changed to the communicate() way. That wastes memory because the output ends up in memory, but (1) I don't think it matters here and (2) we'll probably wan the contents in memory to report errors later. > Python has a ternary operator.

Fixed. > Why not just print before every subcommand? > print "build-webkit..." > I don't really like the "..." Done. Well, run-webkit-tests doesn't get a print, but it makes enough noise on its own even with --quiet.
Comment on attachment 34354 [details] Patch v1 /dev/null is a fine solution. I just wanted you to be aware of the other version. I still think we should eventually log these to files in --commit-queue mode instead of just silencing them. But this is fine for now. :)
