Subject: [PATCH v3 13/16] perf test trace_summary: Improve error diagnostics
Date: Fri, 18 Sep 2026 07:06:56 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260918140659.2501976-14-irogers@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260918140659.2501976-1-irogers@google.com>
When pattern matching fails in test_perf_trace(), print the command
that failed along with the actual match count, the matching lines
found, and the last 20 lines of output to aid debugging.
Assisted-by: Antigravity:gemini-3.1-pro
