[bitbake-devel] [PATCH 1/2] toaster: Manually retrieve log file location from filesystem

[Ed Bartosh]

From: Elliot Smith <elliot.smith at intel.com>

The log file location reported by the BB_CONSOLELOG variable
does not point to the log location for the current build at
the time when the BuildStarted event is fired. It
actually points to the location where the next build will
log to. This means that the log file paths associated with
a build in the cooker_log_path field are incorrect, with
the result that the "Download build log" button doesn't work.

Instead, when a build starts, get the latest-dated log file
and associate it with the build.

An issue explaining why this is a problem, plus steps to
demonstrate it:
https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8411

This patch is a temporary workaround for issue 8411,
as discussed in
https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8373#c2
It fixes 8373 for now, but should be properly fixed if
bitbake can provide the correct log location at the point
when BuildStarted is fired.
