<br class="">
This is kind of the thing I am after, yes. I was just wondering if it didn't make sense to have this "officially" supported / exposed via the API, instead of everyone having to write their own code to carve out the desired information from stdout/stderr - which
feels quite a bit wiggly, especially as I don't necessarily consider "console output" as being an "API stable" format, right?<br class="">

I have since looked at the email conversation you had with Josh back in June last year:</div>

<div><br class="">
</div>
<div>and yes, there should be some API support for this.</div>
<div><br class="">
<blockquote type="cite" class="">
<div class="">Plus, the referenced code is using the "capfd" fixture for the tests, which probably isn't a good idea in a non-testing environment. Meaning again custom code which has to be written "client side" to capture the outputs, not unlikely resulting
in bugs, from time to time.<br class="">
</div>

<div><br class="">
</div>
Absolutely, cafd was an illustration but other ways of doing this are not ideal.</div>
<div><br class="">
<blockquote type="cite" class="">
<div class="">Basically, I'm wondering if there is no proper (TM) way using all the Ice'ish magic to "cleanly" retrieve this information ;-)<br class="">
</div>

</div>
<div class="">So at the moment the answer is no (as far as I know!) but I have created an, as yet internal, Trello card for discussion with Josh and others. I'll push that card to a public board once we have had a chance to chat. Hopefully we can then prioritise
the work and come up with a solution.</div>
