872116 - Output TBPL compatible failure messages for Android logcat "FATAL EXCEPTION: main"

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Testing :: General, defect)

Description

[Ed Morley [:emorley]]

Periodically we're seeing failed runs whose logcats show errors of the form:
{
01-01 00:00:49.676 E/AndroidRuntime( 1230): FATAL EXCEPTION: main
01-01 00:00:49.676 E/AndroidRuntime( 1230): java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:

}

We should add support for parsing the logcat for "FATAL EXCEPTION" (and generate a TBPL compatible failure line), similar to how we now do for uncaught java exceptions:

Attachment: Patch v1

The format is the same as the "REPORTING UNCAUGHT EXCEPTION" style failures, so this should be all we need :-)
