colcon-output's Issues

Would like verbs to be able to override what the jobs are called in SummaryHandler

I have an experimental verb which operates at the repo- rather than package level. It's working great, but it's too bad that the summary at the end of a run still refers to n packages finished, in this code (and elsewhere):

colcon-output/colcon_output/event_handler/summary.py

Lines 74 to 77 in a220a1c

	count, plural_suffix, _ = _msg_arguments(
	self._ended - self._interrupted - self._failed)
	print('Summary: {count} package{plural_suffix} finished '
	'[{duration_string}]'.format_map(locals()))

Not sure how much visibility this code and the running verb have into each other, but it would be nice if the SummaryHandler could somehow be passed a singular/plural tuple of what to refer to the jobs as.

display the list of selected packages before starting building

ament shows which packages will be built before starting building. It would be valuable to have the same in colcon.

It could be the default behavior or something that users can turn on with a flag.

Help: what does these failure messages mean?

Hello,
I pull the latest ros2 stack code and run colcon build/test, many these error messages show up when colcon test-result --verbose:

build/action_msgs/test_results/action_msgs/xmllint.xunit.xml: 1 test, 0 errors, 1 failure, 0 skipped

• action_msgs.xmllint package.xml
  <<< failure message

Display ongoing count in status bar

currently the number of ongoing jobs is displayed only in the terminal title. It wouls be benefictial to have this as part of the status line. Maybe by default or maybe optionally.

I'm thinking of something like:
[time] [%d/%d complete] [%d ongoing] [JOB1_STATUS] ... [JOBN_STATUS]

colcon event handler which print stdout on error

Description

• As a developer, it would be easier to find broken tests in terminal logs if there was an option to only dump stdout of tests that failed.

Current Behavior

• Currently, I can either run my builds with colcon test --event-handlers console_cohesion+ and then scroll through the terminal to find the broken test OR I can run colcon test and then have to go to log/latest_test/my_pkg/stdout.log to find the broken test.

• The first option is too noisy

• The second option has the disadvantage that in (our) CI, these logs aren't easily accessible

  • As far as I can tell, there is no simple way to say,

  for each failing package:
      print file log/latest_test/<pkg>/stdout.log
  

Desired Behavior

• An option like console test --event-handlers console_stdout_on_fail+ where:
  • If a package succeeds, the output looks like console test
  • If a package fails, the output looks like console test --event-handlers console_cohesion+
