418617 - Sisyphus/JavaScript Tests - handle malformed log files

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Testing Graveyard :: Sisyphus, defect)

Description

[Bob Clary [:bc] (inactive)]

Attachment: post-process-logs.pl patch

When originally developed, post-process-logs.pl was designed to handle the restart mode of browser testing where the browser was started, the test run, then the browser shut down for each test. When adding the ability for the framework to run in non-restart mode, it became important to become much more strict in dealing with the processing of the test beginning, test running, test reporting, and test conclusion since there was no longer a clear boundary formed by the program execution. This has worked fairly well for linux and mac, however the log files on windows have been problematic due to ordering issues and buffering issues in the logs.

This patch relaxes several constraints in post-process-logs.pl to handle the "malformed" logs produced on windows machines.
