Which test do you have in mind exactly?
One with
[The content has been trimmed by the report system because it exceeds
65536 bytes]
at the end of the output?
If that's the case then you can download the xml file from the FTP
server and check the compiler output manually.
I'm not sure if disabling trimming is a good idea. Is it possible to
esstimate the size increase of the reports after that?
Instead, we could trim in a different way, e.g. take half of the trimmed
output from the beginning of the original and the rest from the end or
do something more intelligent like searching for the first error and
showing the part of the output around it.
In case you wanted to play with it, here are the lines responsible for
writing the logs:
https://github.com/boostorg/regression/blob/develop/reports/src/links_page.cpp#L277
https://github.com/boostorg/regression/blob/develop/reports/src/links_page.cpp#L288
https://github.com/boostorg/regression/blob/develop/reports/src/links_page.cpp#L313
which calls operator trimming the result:
https://github.com/boostorg/regression/blob/develop/reports/src/xml.cpp#L257
