Hi,

I've been struggling for days in making the multiline build log indication work.

I couldn’t find any example in the net, I had it working in a Groovy console but not in Jenkins.

This is the Jenkins log. I want to detect the yellow part – if I find these two yellow strings are the indication of the failure:

22:14:36 2017-07-10 22:14:36 Test INFO: busy: -E- T:78008253

22:14:36 2017-07-10 22:14:36 Test INFO: busy: Segmentation fault

22:14:36 2017-07-10 22:14:36 Test INFO: busy: Error! failed to run driver tests

22:14:36 2017-07-10 22:14:36 Test INFO: busy: /opt/cve_driver_test

22:14:36 2017-07-10 22:14:36 Test INFO: busy: Return1Code

I tried to find this pattern in a groovy console and succeeded:

def pattern = "(?s)Segmentation fault(.*)busy: Error! failed to run driver tests"
def example1 = text.find(pattern) //=> found!

How do I make it work Jenkins?

Thanks!

I think the pattern has to match full lines, so you would need:

".*Segmentation fault.*busy: Error! failed to run driver tests"

in the multiline regex definition box in BFA. No need to put .* in parentheses.

Eric thank you for your help.

Yet, this is still not working for me.

Could you give me an example of a Jenkins log of yours and a multiline in BFA that actually work? (maybe you could attach a screen shot of the BFA page in Jenkins.)

Thanks! :)

Both Shiran's and Eric's patterns work for me, but Shiran's is a bit more accurate in finding the offending start line when navigating the found indication from the build page
