tl;dr if you have opinions on a standardized structured logging format
for test harnesses, please comment on
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=916260
Hi all, our past intern Chris Manchester worked on implementing
structured logging for our test harnesses this summer [1]. He wrote the
necessary libraries and converted the xpcshell harness to a structured
format.
We now want to convert further harnesses (like mochitest, reftest,
marionette, etc) to start reaping the benefits of structured logging
everywhere (there are lots of resources on the benefits of structured
logging, but Gps' blog post last year [2] is a good place to start).
But before we do that, we want to define a standard structured logging
format that will be used by all of our test harnesses so that consumers
of the structured logs will have some guarantees on what to expect.
So if you have ideas about what this standard format should look like,
please comment on bug 916260 [3]. If you have some idea of the type of
data you'd like to get out of structured logs, feel free to comment as
well, as this will help us make well informed decisions.
Thanks,
Andrew
