Hi Alan,
IIUC, you're running what Avocado calls a SIMPLE test (an executable,
that returns zero/non-zero), right?
I created a sample script to test the behavior you describe:
---
#!/bin/sh
for i in $(seq 1 30); do
echo "Step $i";
sleep 1;
done;
---
And ran:
$ avocado --show=test run /tmp/script.sh
I get one line per second printed, which is the expected behavior (line
buffered output).
The same happens when the test output is sent to the log files. Can you
describe the behavior of your test? Does it print multiple lines? Or a
continuous stream of characters that are not separated by newlines?
Regards!
