Re: [BuildStream] How to catch regressions in buildstream's interactive interface

[Gökçen Nurlu <gokcennurlu gmail com>]

By the way, I spent some time on `runcli.py` and I believe there are

Might not be fully related but this can make some room to test
interactive interface, either with pexpect or with an ad-hoc solution.

Best regards,
Gokcen
