redo now saves the stderr from every .do script, for every target, into a file in the .redo directory. That means you can look up the logs from the most recent build of any target using the new redo-log command, for example: redo-log -r all The default is to show logs non-recursively, that is, it'll show when a target does redo-ifchange on another target, but it won't recurse into the logs for the latter target. With -r (recursive), it does. With -u (unchanged), it does even if redo-ifchange discovered that the target was already up-to-date; in that case, it prints the logs of the *most recent* time the target was generated. With --no-details, redo-log will show only the 'redo' lines, not the other log messages. For very noisy build systems (like recursing into a 'make' instance) this can be helpful to get an overview of what happened, without all the cruft. You can use the -f (follow) option like tail -f, to follow a build that's currently in progress until it finishes. redo itself spins up a copy of redo-log -r -f while it runs, so you can see what's going on. Still broken in this version: - No man page or new tests yet. - ANSI colors don't yet work (unless you use --raw-logs, which gives the old-style behaviour). - You can't redirect the output of a sub-redo to a file or a pipe right now, because redo-log is eating it. - The regex for matching 'redo' lines in the log is very gross. Instead, we should put the raw log files in a more machine-parseable format, and redo-log should turn that into human-readable format. - redo-log tries to "linearize" the logs, which makes them comprehensible even for a large parallel build. It recursively shows log messages for each target in depth-first tree order (by tracing into a new target every time it sees a 'redo' line). This works really well, but in some specific cases, the "topmost" redo instance can get stuck waiting for a jwack token, which makes it look like the whole build has stalled, when really redo-log is just waiting a long time for a particular subprocess to be able to continue. We'll need to add a specific workaround for that.
