If the message field is empty then these tests will fail. Cheers, Ionut C 46505 1 alexandru.damian 2014-10-22 15:54:53 +0000 Not all task-related events come with a 'message' field from bitbake - this is why we don't have message fields for some of the tasks being run. Furthermore, the message field isn't intended to be machine-readable, and the paths mentioned in those messages are intended for human usage. I suggest that the tests lookup the buildstats file some other way.
