Here I come, being a pain again..
I'd like to be able to differentiate between a failure of some tests and failure of the harness. That is, if some of the tests failed, that may be expected -- but if the harness fails, I want to be able to say 'whoa.'
This turned up in last night's run of my autotester, which now displays the t/logs/error_log if it detects a error exit code from t/TEST. The harness ran just fine, but some of the tests failed -- so I got the 2MB error_log even though I didn't want it. I [currently] only want to see the error_log if the *harness* failed.
Suggestions? Maybe ORing the status with some value (like 0x1000) if the failure was in the harness itself (e.g., unable to start the server)?
There may be many reasons for harness failure, so it seems to me that it'll be much easier to have a special failure status code for failing tests, no?
