remote plugin jobs not in report

[Javier Collado]

Jobs for the remote plugin aren't displayed in the report.

This is fine when the job is executed and the results that the job generates are added to the report. However, when some problem happens such as the job doesn't really generate any result or requirements for the job aren't met, then there isn't anything in the report to know what happened.

I'd say that, despite a remote job cannot have a pass/fail status, it should have some kind of "executed" status that means that the test case has been executed or any of the other already defined status when a requirement is not met or a problem happens.

Seems like this could be nice to have... we don't really use the remote plugin for anything, but I think you do.

There are some remote jobs in checkbox trunk branch and I guess the same problem applies to them:

./jobs/autotest.txt.in:
    2 : plugin: remote
./jobs/ltp.txt.in:
    2 : plugin: remote
./jobs/mago.txt.in:
    1 : plugin: remote
./jobs/phoronix.txt.in:
    2 : plugin: remote
./jobs/qa_regression.txt.in:
    2 : plugin: remote
./jobs/sru.txt.in:
    2 : plugin: remote

Right, but those are also all blacklisted and aren't run... I was working on re-enabling phoronix a while back but that got stalled and isn't really a priority at the moment for me/us...

But you're right, the same would apply to those jobs if they were run.
