[jira] [Commented] (BEAM-3265) Gradle test output link is inaccessible URL

["Kenneth Knowles (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BEAM-3265?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16332970#comment-16332970 ] 

Kenneth Knowles commented on BEAM-3265:
---------------------------------------

"You should just rely on the <strictly less information, strictly flakier thing> and not expect to be able to see the <full information, completely reliable thing>"

It should be obvious that I filed this because the UI did not present enough or correct information. There was no actionable thing to do except re-run the whole build locally and hope to gain information. Missing or wrong info in the UI isn't a surprising or new situation - the build log and outputs are the source of truth and Jenkins puts a veneer on top, and the veneer has bugs and limitations.

I haven't hit a problem lately, so I will close this and just file another thing the next time I get blocked.

> When tests fail, you can get output like this:
> "There were failing tests. See the report at: file:///home/jenkins/jenkins-slave/workspace/beam_PreCommit_Java_GradleBuild/src/sdks/java/io/kinesis/build/reports/tests/test/index.html"
> Of course, those URL is not something where a click will get you there. We should improve the integration here in some way or another. Really, just dumping the failure seems to be as good as any fancy plugin IMO.
