Subject: Tests: Add environment variables for verbosity and log directory
X-Git-Url: https://git.lttng.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b445e3daeb2fb613f26123c79918fab6cba63921;p=lttng-tools.git

Tests: Add environment variables for verbosity and log directory

Observed issue
==============

When working locally with test failures, changes to `utils.sh` are often
required to produce verbose output.

Solution
========

By adding environment variables to allow running the various tools
with higher verbosity and potentially outputting to either stderr or
temporary files in a given directory test runners now have the option
to quickly get more information.

Known drawbacks
===============

Some tests depend on parsing either stderr or stdout, and these global
defaults may potentially make developing robust tests more
complicated.
