How to decypher jenkins' build logs?

[Eugene Burmako]

Hi folks,

I have a hard time understanding what's going on in build logs.

Take, for example https://jenkins.scala-ide.org:8496/jenkins/job/scala-ide-nightly-master-2.11.0/60/consoleText, which says:

Failed tests:   test1000656(scala.tools.eclipse.hyperlink.HyperlinkDetectorTests): No build errors expected
  lazy_val_in_pattern_val_def(scala.tools.eclipse.semantichighlighting.classifier.LazyLocalValTest): Actual != Expected.
  lazy_template_val(scala.tools.eclipse.semantichighlighting.classifier.LazyTemplateValTest): Actual != Expected.
  lazy_template_val_in_pattern_val_def(scala.tools.eclipse.semantichighlighting.classifier.LazyTemplateValTest): Actual != Expected.


However when I try to grep the log for the names mentioned in the failure notice, I cannot find anything. How come?

The detailed report is in a log file which is not directly accessible, but Jenkins has a UI for it.

https://jenkins.scala-ide.org:8496/jenkins/job/scala-ide-nightly-master-2.11.0/60/testReport/

The next best thing is for you to run the build locally.
