Adds a new agent config option
--enable-job-log-file
.When set, all logs for a job are written to a temporary file and exposed to the job via an environment variable
BUILDKITE_JOB_LOG
.This log file can be used by post-command, pre-exit, and exit hooks to analyze the logs without having to fetch them via API (which is slower, and subject to race conditions). One use-case we have for this is log failure analysis of the command-step to enable dynamic retries.
This temporary file is deleted when the job finishes.
