Axel – because we’re not using an in-process status plugin. We’re just looking at the information that gets saved to disk after the build is finished.

Why don’t you get at least a good deal of that data from running builds?

What kind of properties would you like to see for unittest and talos runs?

We can look at synchronizing more often. What frequency is useful? Unfortunately we don’t get any data until a build is finished, so this won’t help with displaying information for in-progress builds.

Another thing: leak test builds have properties.leakStats and properties.testresults. opt builds have properties.testresults with codesighs. Unittest and Talos don’t have anything there.

Hm synchronized every hour to the web, that doesn’t sound like it may be useful to tbpl.

Right, tinderbox makes it impossible for us to link to the logs right now. We're going to deal with this in bug 530318.

There’s no way to get the build logs, thanks to tinderbox, right? I guess the best we could do is link to the time range on the tinderbox page?

Filed bug 550181 to import the results into the l10n dashboard.

Axel: yeah, this is an export from the build db, so we can tweak the output format and re-generate these files if required.

Arpad: it’s a bit annoying, I know…we might be able to fix that in our code. All the old data would still be missing that information though.

The files are currently being generated about every 10 minutes from the database, and then synchronized to the web head every hour.

Is that an export from the build db?

And, how often do the files get updated?

This is awesome! I know I asked you this on IRC, but how often is this data updated? Could tinderboxpushlog use this in place of scraping tinderbox?

This is amazing stuff.
Getting the revision of a unittest isn’t that easy however.
The properties.fileUrl of a unittest box equals properties.packageUrl of a build box which has properties.got_revision.

Lets see how I can put this to good use in tbpl
