Re: [CMake] Viewing the full build log from the CDash Dashboard
Apologies if this is a stupid question with an obvious answer staring me in the face but... Nope, it's not. The dashboard does not have the full build log because ctest does not send the full output from the build step. Only the contents of Build.xml are sent when a build is submitted to CDash. The reason is simply volume and scale. The configure output is typically fairly small (so we send all of it), but build output can be megabytes and megabytes (so we only send what we think is important...). So CDash shows its cut-down summary because that's all it has. To get the full build output, you need access to the machine that submitted the dashboard. The full build log is found in the build tree in a file named Testing/Temporary/LastBuild_20140806-1658.log (but adjust the timestamp part of the name to when the build actually occurred.) Our current build system captures the output of the ctest process and emails it separately but surely this must be available through CDash? Nope. If you need it, keep your current system for now.

In case you are using one of the makefile or ninja generators CTest launchers might help a bit[1]. Every compile, link and custom command will be wrapped by a command that captures the output and command line of its child process. You still don't get the output of successful commands on your Dashboard but full output (not sure if there is a limit) of failed commands. A random CMake dashboard submission with launchers looks e.g. like this: http://open.cdash.org/viewBuildError.php?type=1buildid=3450912 Nils [1] http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.0/module/CTest.html?highlight=ctest_use_launchers -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.

[CMake] Viewing the full build log from the CDash Dashboard
Apologies if this is a stupid question with an obvious answer staring me in the face but... How does one view the full build log from the dashboard? This relates to our own dashboard but looking at a build of CMake as an example (http://open.cdash.org/buildSummary.php?buildid=3450103) The full output of the configure step seems to be displayed on the buildSummary page but there's nothing for the actual build (gmake in this case) step. CDash will show a cut-down summary of where it thinks the errors or warnings are but sometimes (especially with parallel builds) these are wrong (or false positives) or alternatively everything succeeded but you still want to browse through the build output. Our current build system captures the output of the ctest process and emails it separately but surely this must be available through CDash?
