So what would happen if build logs for each test were stored in an SVN tree set aside for the purpose, with pass/fail and date/time status stored as SVN properties? Could this be automated, from within bjam or CMake or whatever?
Sure it could.
So you *are* actually advocating a separate file in SVN for each test? I guess I also worry about the performance cost of doing a checkin for each test.
Nod: however we look at this, there's a lot of data flying around, any system is going to struggle at some point :-(
Of course we're in serious danger of getting into the tool writing business again here ....
Unless we entirely drop our display distinctions and markup, or we stick with the same fragile/unreliable display tools we have, *someone* has to write new display tools. There just aren't any existing tools out there that do what we want.
Sigh, yes. Of course that's the same reason we started Boost.Build, quickbook etc... John.
