Description Joshua Lock - Disabled 2011-11-28 10:50:56 UTC

With the recent addition of a patch to log console output to a log file it seems it would be useful to ask bitbake to generate a browseable HTML log.

The console output log could be massaged so that any mention of a log file is transformed to a link to the logfile in question. This would enable the user to navigate the logs more easily.

I think such a feature could be particularly useful for the autobuilder.

This is something the system displaying the output really needs to handle, be that a specific bitbake html backend, or the system doing the processing of the log output like buildbot since only the webserver knows where the files may be accessed. Reassigning to Beth since such buildbot changes would be her domain.

Is this still a valid bug? If so, what additional functionality is required beyond what is available now?

Comment 3 Saul Wold 2016-07-19 16:12:39 UTC

Moved to future

Comment 4 Benjamin Esquivel 2016-11-04 17:43:56 UTC

In bug 10580, the oe-test results will be shown in an html format.

Comment 5 Richard Purdie 2018-12-06 16:14:28 UTC

After discussion in triage, the new UI obsoletes the need to "HTMLize" the log files
