992899 - Provide reference to blobber uploads in the "summary" section of parsed logs

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Tree Management Graveyard :: TBPL, defect)

Description

[:Paolo Amadini]

When a browser-chrome test fails or times out, a screenshot is generated and uploaded using the blobber system. This is generally useful to understand the failure, however its presence is not discoverable.

The screenshot is referenced among other lines near the end of the log file:

... INFO - TinderboxPrint: Uploaded ...

I think that a line in the "summary" section of the parsed brief and full logs would be useful to indicate the presence of the screenshot. For example, this would appear as a link in the "summary" section here:

https://tbpl.mozilla.org/php/getParsedLog.php?id=37362919&tree=Try

I like the idea, however TBPL is soon to be EOLed by Treeherder, in which I believe something like this is planned.

This might be an argument in favor of implementing this feature by looking for the literal string "INFO - TinderboxPrint: Uploaded", instead of something more elaborate and future-proof, assuming doing this lookup is easy enough.

TBPL has been EOLed (bug 1054977).
