 Description   

When generating tasks for sub-suite execution, a common problem is that a test that is referenced in a resmoke configuration has been moved or deleted. This will cause the generate script to fail, since the referenced file cannot be found. However, the _gen task fails as a system failure in evergreen and those errors often get ignored. We should switch the failure to show up as a test failure to let the developer know that action is required on their part to fix the issue.


As a Server engineer,
I was _gen task failures to show up as test failures
So that I can know to investigate them


AC:

  • _gen task failures caused by a missing test being referenced show up as test failures in evergreen.
