Bug #4840
closed
Jenkins build logs are unreadable
Added by Davide Pesavento about 5 years ago.
Updated about 4 years ago.
Description
Compilation errors and warning messages are all messed up in the "consoleFull" logs of jenkins builds. As far as I can see, all Ubuntu slaves are affected, OSX slaves do not seem to be affected.
This is just one example, taken from http://jenkins.named-data.net/job/ndn-cxx/6793/OS=Ubuntu-18.04-64bit/consoleFull

This is not a new or recent issue, it started happening a few months ago (not sure when exactly).

The "consoleText" plain text logs have the same problem, but in a lot more places: not only compiler warnings/errors are messed up, but practically every line printed by waf or Boost.Test contains extraneous characters (they look like ANSI escape codes). In this case all slaves are affected, both Ubuntu and OSX. Examples:
http://jenkins.named-data.net/job/ndn-cxx/6793/OS=OSX-10.14/consoleText
http://jenkins.named-data.net/job/ndn-cxx/6793/OS=Ubuntu-18.10-64bit/consoleText
Yes. The console text output has been looking garbled right after we added the 18.10 or upgraded to Jenkins version 2.158 (That's just about 2 months ago). I think at that time, only the compilation outputs had a "square" symbol in compilation stage, but now this has become more severe. I'm looking into it.

The ansicolor plugin developers don't seem in any hurry to fix this bug, I guess it doesn't impact their current uses. Sad. Unless someone else steps up and contributes a patch, I doubt this will get fixed any time soon. Unassigning myself, as there isn't much I can do at the moment.

A new version of the ansicolor plugin has been released and our Jenkins installation updated to use it. I can confirm the problem is fixed.
