Subject: [PATCH 04/11] tests: drop journal logging from test framework
Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2026 10:38:03 -0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260710133810.72398-5-wander@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260710133810.72398-1-wander@redhat.com>
The test helper's log() function wrote every message to the system
journal via logger -t stalld, tagging entries with [TEST] to
distinguish them from real stalld output. start_test() and
end_test() also called logger directly alongside echo.
These journal entries interfered with test_logging_destinations.sh,
which inspects journalctl for stalld's own syslog messages. The
[TEST] entries appeared under the same stalld identifier and had
to be filtered out, making the assertions fragile and causing
spurious failures from journal flush races.
Remove the logger calls and the ANSI-stripping sed from log().
Replace the separate echo/logger pairs in start_test() and
end_test() with a single log() call each. The test framework
now writes only to stdout, leaving the journal free of test
noise.
