[Bug 871628] Add '--show-errors' and '--show-all' options to the automation scrips to provide improved logging/debugging

Not sure what comment to leave here.

Thanks Vlad for the PR! What I still miss here is the code which fakes mozmill's self.option.test.

Hm. But I wonder given that we have to release another Mozmill 1.5 release if we want to get this fixed there. I think that would be a good idea, given that you already know where the failure is. So I filed bug 914980.

FYI this pull cannot be merged. Please check that you have merged the latest upstream changes on the hotfix-1.5 branch.

Why has this PR been closed? It's still necessary beside the mozmill changes.

[Mistborn]

Sorry, that was a misclick. I'll get the pull request fixed up.

[whimboo]

That's a really wonderful patch! Applied it locally with the other changes for Mozmill 1.5 in place too, and it works like a charm! I wonder why you haven't found us earlier, given the usefulness of the patch! It will be in the next release.

Please let me know if you are interested in something else.

I have landed it as b8a9609

[Mistborn]

Cheers. And it only took me 4 months to get the patch to you :p.

I'd love to help you out more in the future, but I probably won't have the spare time in the near future, seeing as I've landed a full-time programming job (partly thanks to being able to put "wrote code for the Mozilla foundation" on my resume ;-).)

[whimboo]

That makes full sense. Great to hear that! However, whenever you feel that you want to learn something more please let me know and drop me an email. Thanks for your contribution Vlad!
