Hi Richi, sorry but I don't think the current feature state is quite complete. I am not saying you have to do it but what I see as points of improvement in the current implementation:
Fair enough, I never actually use live view my self except just to check something is happening and I find it usually works on the kernel tests at least.
- view is empty from the beginning and does not update automatically which can be quite confusing and was already reported by some people with "there is no output!"
It usually appears after a while, although sometimes it does not, but a page refresh fixes it. I am not sure why, os-autoinst definitely writes the data to the intermediate file and OpenQA definitely reads it. It should be populated for all tests. Perhaps some web API is being fetched too early before it can start streaming.
- view is not limited in size, i.e. can yield a super long page
Personally I think that is fine, it is how Travis and OBS work as well, albeit with some extras for scrolling. I don't know what peoples' preferences are in general.
- no automatic update (if I am not mistaken)
It should update, this is probably related to the first problem and also because on most tests as soon as the kernel log has finished printing there will only be minor output from wait_serial which people may not notice. If you watch one of the kernel tests you will see a constant stream of output most of the time.
do you agree with my comments?
I agree it is not really finished. Fixing it properly may require changing how all live logging works, although possibly just tweaking Mojo or the JS will fix it.
