Description Sami Wagiaalla 2007-02-14 19:49:40 UTC 
When running a large test suit especially in headless mode it is much better of the output can be seen in a very brief way:

TestFoo.someTest()... pass
TestFoo.someOtherTest()... pass
TestBar.someTest()... fail

And the if the use wants more detail they can run the particular test with more output:

python TestBar --verbous

dogtail's terminal output was really meant to be used for detailed debugging. for test cast comparisons done with the TC* classes in dogtail.tc, a separate log is created with pass/fail information. have you looked into using those?

Also, in SVN, you can set dogtail.config.config.logDebugToStdOut to False.
