513929 - tinderbox log highlighter should highlight when build steps fail

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 522792

(Release Engineering :: General, defect)

Description

[David Baron :dbaron:]

http://tinderbox.mozilla.org/showlog.cgi?log=Firefox/1251811567.1251821470.14716.gz
is an example log of when the tinderbox log highlighter doesn't highlight the failure that caused the build to be red.

In this case, the minimal error is:

'make buildsymbols' failed

I think highlighting on "' failed$" might actually give us reasonably useful information.  ($ being end-of-line)

It also probably should have highlighted:

command timed out: 1200 seconds without output

which I thought it usually does, but didn't in this case.

Also, for many out-of-disk-space errors, this would help:

/finished with exit code [1-9]/

Probably want [^0] there because we get exit codes like 255 for crashes.
