[Buildbot-devel] Processing a log file to create a HTMLLog in a custom BuildStep

[Matt Williams]

This is working so far but I have one more problem. There is now a
file created on the slave called 'tests.html' but I can't see a way to
add this in the BuildStep with something like:

self.addHTMLLog('tests_summary', something_here...)

since addHTMLLog requires a HTML string, not a filename on the slave.

I tried adding logfiles={'tests_summary': 'tests.html'} to the
ShellCommand constructor but that created a text logfile containing
the contents of the HTML report rather than a valid HTML file.
