How do I generate a log file of the test run?

By default, test suites run with the command-line using the buddy test harness send their log messages to standard output (stdout). There are different ways you can capture the same log messages to a separate log file:

  • Pipe the output to the program 'tee':

    •    # buddy -trace -pt | tee -i log.txt

  • Use the 'script' command:

    •    # script
   Script started, file is typescript
   # buddy -trace -pt
   # exit
   Script done, file is typescript

Note that the BuddyWeb add-on for CDRouter automatically organizes results for each test run with separate capture files and logs for each test case.
