738766 - The 'log' command should dump to logcat

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Remote Protocol :: Marionette, defect)

Description

[Jonathan Griffin (:jgriffin)]

Currently, it doesn't, it only gets reported by the testrunner at the end of a test.  However, if there's a hard timeout (because the request from the client never returns), any log data is lost.

We should make log() dump to logcat, so there's always a way to see the logged messages, and in real-time.

This patch causes log() to also dump(), which lets the info appear in logcat for B2G.

Looks good. Not sure if we should provide a way to shut off dumping, but we'll hit that hurdle if it's required.
