getting an uptodate consoleText

[wef]

Because maven doesn't return reliable error codes (eg on "[ERROR] build failure") in my 'PostBuild Script' I need to

wget $BUILD_URL/consoleText

... and then grep for problems.

Trouble is, I don't always get the whole thing - very often the last chunk is missing.

Doesn't matter if I wait (eg 10 minutes) or have the job print out 20k of rubbish to try and flush ot out - I'm still missing the interesting bit.
Once the job has finished, I can always wget the whole thing - it's just while the job is in flight that I have problems.

Any ideas on how to flush the dang thing out?

Or maybe there's a plug-in to do this?


Thanks in advance

I think https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Text-finder+Plugin
might be the plugin you're looking for (spoken like a true Jedi)

Thanks for that - I'll give it a burl once the build server is quiet

I tried text-finder but it's only available as a 'post-build action' ie after all the post-build steps are finished.

What I think I need is a 'post-build step' that I can insert before other post-build steps to stop the build if it sees an error in the log.

Sorry if I've confused things.

Do you think this is related to the bug I reported?
