Description
For passthough tests in javascript it is important to be able to start a new buildlogger session which is registered in the smoke test result xml file.
Changing our passthrough tests, and build more serious test frameworks under smoke, require this kind of change to make logging sane, and diagnostics useful.
This could be done relatively easily by changing smoke to hold onto the file handles for std err/out and redirect to a different buildlogger endpoint based on a callback from the javascript test. In this way the javascript test can start a child test (maybe just with a prefix name) which will show up in the test results xml and with a new buildlogger endpoint (url). mpobrien005@gmail.com and I have discussed this plan so it is time to record a task.
