svn commit: r1936976 - in httpd/httpd/trunk/test/pytest_suite: . tests/t/modules

Author: jorton
Date: Fri Aug  7 14:24:32 2026
New Revision: 1936976

Log:
Fix false negatives checking error_log with test_proxy_beacon: [skip ci]

* test/pytest_suite/conftest.py (framework): Record error_log's size
  before httpd starts, as session_log_start.

* test/pytest_suite/tests/t/modules/test_proxy_beacon.py
  (test_proxy_beacon): Scope the "added backend" log check to
  session_log_start instead of the per-test window or byte 0.
