Sure, the log has been dumped somewhere, but it's dumped in the build 
directory instead of the build log of the Guix package.  It would be 
quite convenient if there were some kind of flag or something (that is 
enabled in the package definition) to dump dump it to stderr.  Or just 
some ad-hoc:


(guard (c ((invoke-error? c)
           [copy all tests/*.log to stderr]
           (raise-continuable c)))
   [run tests]).

Alternatively, Cuirass could copy some parts of failed builds and 
present them in the UI.

Best regards,
Maxime Devos

It's actually possible to have the test harness copy the errors to the
output directly, via

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
make check SCM_LOG_DRIVER_FLAGS="--errors-only=yes" VERBOSE=1
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I guess we could have these switch enabled by default (perhaps with
'--brief=no' as well) set by default, as they are useful in most
contexts.

For more information, see info "(guix) Running the Test Suite".
