When a build step succeeds, the last entry for that step contains the name of the step that succeeded: INFO - Step "name of step" run successfully. However, when a build step fails, the last entry for that step is always: ERROR - Build success condition not satisfied. It would be more useful for debugging, and for parsing of the logs, if the error message named the step that failed. For example, if I run two parallel build tasks, and one of them fails, I end up with: 2006-11-20 10:17:24,141 [Thread-3251] INFO - Triggering step "build data (parallel)". 2006-11-20 10:17:24,157 [Thread-3300] INFO - Triggering step "build client data". 2006-11-20 10:17:24,157 [Thread-3301] INFO - Triggering step "build server data". 2006-11-20 10:17:25,672 [Thread-3303] INFO - data_c > build_client.log 2006-11-20 10:17:25,672 [Thread-3305] INFO - data_s > build_server.log 2006-11-20 12:58:55,494 [Thread-3300] INFO - Step "build client data" run successfully. 2006-11-20 13:37:33,375 [Thread-3301] ERROR - Build success condition not satisfied. 2006-11-20 13:37:33,406 [Thread-3251] ERROR - Composite step "build data (parallel)" failed due to unsatisfication of step success condition. When I grep for lines containing ERROR and WARN in my Velocity template, I don't find out the name of the object that failed. The only way to find out is to make a much more intelligent log parser, bypassing the builtin QuickBuild functionality. And if I put the above in the notification email, my users squawk, because they don't want to have to think. But, if I could grep the ERROR lines and get: 2006-11-20 13:37:33,375 [Thread-3301] ERROR - Step "build server data" failed. 2006-11-20 13:37:33,406 [Thread-3251] ERROR - Composite step "build data add (parallel)" failed due to unsatisfication of step success condition. then, we would be cooking with gas!
