Mercurial - hg bisect - view simple list of contributing changesets - mercurial

Question

I'm looking to view all the changesets that have been tested by an hg bisect.
I want them in a simple, easy to read format like:
2391928719e - good
7321374343e - good
3232738237e - bad
4873487473e - bad
39732197132 - bad
39732197132 - bad
I know about hg log -r bisect(range), but I don't think that gives me the status?

Answer 1

bisect(range) just gives you the revisions that participated, yes. Your problem is with the output, not with the revset, so look at hg help template instead to get output options.
There you'll find:
$ hg help template | grep ' bisect '
bisect String. The commit bisection status.
Use that in a -T template:
hg log -r 'bisect(range)' -T '{node|short} - {bisect}\n'
This then gives you your list of nodes participating, with their status; one of good, bad, untested, ignored or skipped.
There is even a built-in template for this, named bisect; this is just the default template with a bisect: {bisect} line added:
hg log -r 'bisect(range)' -T bisect
There's also a shortbisect filter; it'll return a single letter for a given bisection status rather than the full text. This is helpful in a -G graph, set the ui.graphnodetemplate option to {bisect|shortbisect} to have the node 'icon' be the status:
hg log -r 'bisect(range)' -G \
--config "ui.graphnodetemplate={bisect|shortbisect}"
-T compact
which produces something like
