I didn't recall the actual date of first time when we found one test had an empty result. I started to record data from last week. I didn't recall the bug# related to this case, so open a new bug and attach my list here :

rundocument.py patch to fail tests with missing logs


This patch changes v7 to detect missing logs, and mark the tests as FAIL.  It also puts error messages errors reading the logs in the test log.

I suspect this was originally reported in:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=642505
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=642144

..but was linked to catalog rather than test suite. I suggest we can safely close those 2 BZs off as DUPs of this one.

FJ are experiencing this a lot on their testing and I'm sure they'd be willing to run any debug options in order to try and track this down as they're finding it a frustration.

Any suggestions on how to debug, ie, strace etc?
