Description Paul Eggleton 2018-03-27 20:10:19 UTC

I saw in a recent oe-selftest run on the autobuilder that one of the recently added tests (test_meta_ide_can_build_cpio_project) produced a lot of output even though it succeeded:

https://autobuilder.yocto.io/builders/nightly-oe-selftest/builds/949/steps/Running%20oe-selftest/logs/stdio

Tests really should not be showing this kind of output (unless they fail) - can it be silenced?

This may be tricky to solve since previous "fixes" here have hidden all error output which makes failures very difficult to debug. I agree we should fix this but it may be a hard issue to catch. I also remember different behaviours of logging in different python versions unfortunately.

Hi Paul/Richard,

During the QA 2.5 M3 rc1 exercise, PG autobuilder encounter the same issues warning during make compilations.
A few observations 


1. configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --with-libtool-sysroot
2. ./configure: line 26866: test: =: unary operator expected
3.

Autobuilder no longer does this: https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/builders/86/builds/232/steps/7/logs/step2d
