1274331 - Documentation on how to format an error message for TreeHerder ingestion

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Tree Management :: Treeherder, defect)

Description

[Selena Deckelmann :selenamarie :selena]

We had a bug filed (bug 1272792) and discussions about how people should format error messages in order to have them appear in failure summaries in treeherder. 

For TaskCluster, the return value from a task needs to be non-zero. 

We need a little additional documentation on TH parsing, and a link we can point people to (and/or provide in failed jobs?).

We're moving to a world where (a) logs come only via taskcluster/a limited set of harnesses, (b) we want to reduce the number of cases where we hardcode specific error strings in treeherder. ie: It should be up to taskcluster/mozharness to mark the lines as errors using appropriate prefixes. As such, we won't need to document this.
