1050211 - mozdevice's getLogcat() does not return a list when tested against b2g device

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Testing :: Mozbase, defect)

Description

[Zac C (:zac)]

With mozdevice 0.39, the getLogcat() method return a list with one entry and the entire logcat rammed into that one entry.

It seems perhaps the split is not splitting the lines correctly:

I experimented with splitting the output with `\n` and it splits it into a list correctly.

Also note, python has a convenience method called "splitlines()" we should use instead of split. I wonder why it was splitting on \r before and if changing it will break something somewhere.
