After make check runs, if there were any failures, I'm wishing for a way to have automake to automatically show the relevant test-suite.log.
The post at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20961959 suggests that the only way to do this is to modify the test-driver script. Is that correct? There isn't a target or variable that can be set to achive this, like a "cat test-suite.log" command somewhere/somehow? I didn't see anywhere to hook in in the generated Makefile[.in]s, but I certainly could have missed it. (That post says the clean-local target never gets run in the case of failure; I didn't confirm it ...) If nothing else, I guess it could be done by writing my own little LOG_DRIVER script that invokes the real test_driver and then looks at the result. (I haven't tried it.) I certainly don't want to modify the distributed test-driver, as that would not be future-proof ... However, this seems like it would be fairly commonly useful and easy enough to do in the canonical test-driver script. So, any chance of adding it as a standard feature? Any reasonable way of enabling it would be fine, e.g., a flag that can be added to [AM_]LOG_DRIVER_FLAGS. BTW, as with that post, I'm primarily interested in this because of automated build environments where all that is (easily) seen is the log. Secondarily, in a big build tree, and with srcdir!=builddir, it can be annoying just to navigate to the correct test-suite.log file. Thus it would be nice to just have it up front. Thanks, Karl
