1295357 - mach talos-test doesn't support --log-no-times

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Testing :: Talos, defect)

Description

[Matthew N. [:MattN]]

Attachment: Log snippet

> mach --log-no-times talos-test -a tp5o

leads to a failure with 
> 16:06:38     INFO -  run_tests.py: error: unrecognized arguments: talos-test

I think the problem is `sys.argv[2:]` in testing/talos/mach_commands.py
> return talos.run_test(sys.argv[2:])

A workaround seems to be --log-tbpl with --log-tbpl-compact which doesn't have timestamps.

From help I see the mach command structure is:
```
mach talos-test -h
usage: mach [global arguments] talos-test [command arguments]
```

I think there are 2 issues here:

1. In testing/talos/mach_commands.py we hardcode and set as a parameter: all the parameters that mach receives from the command line. That results in `--log-no-times talos-test -a tp5o`


2. MozHarness is not processing the `[Global Arguments:]` that mach receives. As MozHarness sets up it's own logger if we have global arguments that set the logging level they are not parsed and processed by MozHarness


I would say as a solution here we would need to have a mix between the 2:
ex: Send to mozharness the global arguments to make sure it will process them and setup the correct options.


:jmaher :rwood any thoughts on how we should proceed ?

this is 2 years old and I haven't had requests for this since- I would like to resolve as wontfix and if we find more demand for this, we can revisit.
