GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 779425
Build output don't get cleared
Last modified: 2017-03-01 22:58:35 UTC
If i start a new build of my project, the build output don't get cleared. That means the output get longer and longer. Instead of this behavior, the output should be cleaned if you start a new build. The old messages from the previous build are not important (i think). This happens since Builder 3.23. On Flatpak and NonFlatpak version. I'm using Meson as buildsystem.
It would be nice to fix this, but I was thinking instead of auto-clearing we would just add clear/stop buttons to the side of the build log panel. The difficulty in auto-clearing is that 1) you might want to refer to the previous item and 2) the pipeline makes lots of background progress so it would clear more often that I think would be acceptable to users.
Created attachment 347008 [details] [review] buildlog: add clear and stop buttons for build log This allows you to either stop the build (duplicate of the top bar) or clear the build log from the build log panel. We might also consider adding a save action here.
