xclogparser parses the second to the latest .xcactivitylog

[yongjincho92]

As noted in the README for XCLogParser, .xcactivitylog file is generated a few seconds after the build action is completed. I added the xclogparser parse command into the build's post action and what I see is that the xclogparser parses the xcactivitylog for the second to the latest build log.

I am using Xcode 12.5.1 and I am not sure if this is by design or a bug. Can someone also confirm that adding xclogparser as the post build action is guaranteed to wait for the latest .xcactivitylog file to be generated and then parse it?

Hi!
No, XCLogParser doesn't retry if .xcactivitylog is invalid.

For your scenario with post build action, you can use XCMetrics, which actually validates .xcactivitylog and retries if is not ready yet:

I can reproduce the same with Xcode Version 13.3 (13E113)

Adding something along the lines of sleep 5; before executing xclogparser... in the post-build section does not work either.
