Hey, I've been trying to figure a good way to parse phatch logs in the test suite. However, the current log format is not parsing friendly. I really would prefer to spend the effort on improving the log format rather than hacking a solution around the current one.
It would really help if all logs followed the same template and indicated the type of the log at the beginning. It will also be more user friendly if the errors numbers started from 1 rather than 0. Here is a suggestion: %(type) %(number): %(message) <tab>Target: %(target) <tab>Action: %(action) <tab>Details: %(details) <newline> %(type) %(number): %(message) <tab>Target: %(target) <tab>Action: %(action) <tab>Details: %(details) The type can be warning or error If the error was an exception that can't be linked to a specific action or image then the format can become: %(type) %(number): %(message) <tab>Message: %(message) <tab>Details: %(details) That will make parsing possible. It is also more consistent and easier to understand for end users as well. Best Regards, Nadia
