Check fails, stdout and stderr
When check fails, you don't use the stdout stream. It should be better to indicate the failure "Check failed with <<NAM-OF-THE-TEST-FILE>>" inside the stderr stream. Doing this allow extra tools to catch only checking that gives an error without having to parse all the stdout stream.
This is not an error from the l3build point of view: it's information for the user.
This makes sense. But I see more that as a workflow error than a computation one. This makes me write weird lines of code : ugly tests .
I suspect you are doing something ... odd from our point of view: the entire idea with l3build is you run it yourself then take appropriate action if there is a failure. Could you outline your use case?
Using parallelism, my script speeds up the search for regression when I modify my code. If I have an unexpected failure, I then work on each failing test on a case-by-case basis.
PS: in the end, once everything is fixed, I use l3build ctan, and therefore a classic l3build check.

We do that too :)
