Description

I planned to be bold :-) (cf. Gerrit change #104748), but looking at the console log it's too complicated for a quick fix.

Premise: In case the testsuite fails for labs/toollabs, the generated tests/testsuite.log needs to be available for debugging.

On Travis CI, I used:

dpkg-buildpackage -b -rfakeroot -uc

cat tests/testsuite.log

as a test; in Jenkins, "artifacts" are probably the better way to go.

However, artifacts are apparently archived at the end of the job (cf. https://integration.wikimedia.org/ci/job/labs-toollabs-debian-glue/lastBuild/console, 14:00:49), while tests/testsuite.log seems to be deleted directly after the build fails ("DEB_KEEP_BUILD_ENV is not set to 'true', not keeping build environment", 14:00:45).

I'm not sure what options Jenkins offers to solve this.

Version: unspecified
Severity: normal

Tim, the tests are being run in a more or less isolated environment (cowbuilder) which is discarded at the end of the build. It might be possible to have some kind write access back to the host but I have no idea how to handle it.

I think the easiest would be to have the test suite to dump the content of the file holding the tests results. Would that be an acceptable workaround for you?

Not much we can do since the tests are run in a cowbuilder env which is discarded.
