[Bug 1453154] Re: please support --show-boot option in snappy runner

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package autopkgtest - 3.14.1

---------------
autopkgtest (3.14.1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Go back to using the backgrounded reboot command as we had before 3.14.
    Just calling "reboot" is prone to hangs and timeouts in case reboot is too
    fast and shuts down our communication channel.
  * Fix --override-control option in adt-run(1). (LP: #1453495)
  * Fail with an error if --override-control file does not exist.
    (LP: #1453503)
  * ssh-setup/snappy: Add -b/--show-boot option to direct boot and console
    messages to stdout. (LP: #1453154)
  * adt-virt-qemu.1: Document --show-boot option.
  * Add test case for using a @ command line include file for a virt runner.
  * Strip leading and trailing space from argument lines in '@' included
    command line argument files. (LP: #1453498)

Title:
  please support --show-boot option in snappy runner

Status in autopkgtest package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Sometimes it can be really useful to see the output of the boot in a
  snappy test run. Especially for the failover tests etc.

  So it would be nice to have  "-serial stdio" instead of "-serial none" in the snappy runnser:
  """
  diff --git a/ssh-setup/snappy b/ssh-setup/snappy
  index 8f1c5f9..b88afe1 100755

       # setup script becoming a zombie at the end
