[Buildbot-devel] ShellCommand in the waterfall/master logs

[Alexander Lorenz]

hello,

i have a lot of ShellCommand buildsteps in my build, with nice 
description tags.
but if a build fails because of one of them, the headline in the 
waterfall only shows "shell_x failed", where x is the number of the 
shell command buildstep.
also the master logfiles are only named "shell_x", which makes things 
hard to find if you browse the logdirs.

so how about ShellCommand or buildsteps in general get an additional 
"name" parameter, which is used for logfile naming and in the waterfall 
headline of a build? (although for the latter the description parameter 
could be used, this would then be consistent with the text in the 
buildstep boxes.



regards

alex
