Add a global --format option for machine-readable output #2158
Right now there is only one format of logging which is very nice and human-readable, but, unfortunately, machine unreadable. This issue is set up to make it possible to set up an output format using a --format flag.
In the matrix channel several formats were proposed:
--format=pretty
This would be the default format and it would map to the current style of output that buildstream does
--format=minimal
This output format would output only the text, no formatting, no padding, no fancy unicode symbols. This format would be useful in making short pipes into bash utilities. Like
This output format would be useful in more complex tooling, such as nushell or even scripts that wrap bst, so that building tooling around bst becomes possible, like so:
#[derive(Deserialize)]structMessage{// potential message fields}fnmain(){letmut child = Command::new("bst").arg("--format=json").arg("build").stdout(Stdio::piped()).stderr(Stdio::inherit()).spawn().expect("failed to spawn bst");let stdout = child.stdout.take().unwrap();for line inBufReader::new(stdout).lines().map_while(Result::ok){// handling messages from bst}let status = child.wait().expect("bst process lost");
std::process::exit(status.code().unwrap_or(1));}
