adb: unsupported '*' in ANDROID_LOG_TAGS

Just updated Android SDK Platform-tools to 25.0.1 and now observing such a strange behaviour:

$ export ANDROID_LOG_TAGS='libc:*'
$ adb
adb F  4886 21476 logging.cpp:290] unsupported 'libc:*' in ANDROID_LOG_TAGS (libc:*)
Abort trap: 6
$ export ANDROID_LOG_TAGS=''
$ adb
adb F  4899 22053 logging.cpp:290] unsupported '' in ANDROID_LOG_TAGS ()
Abort trap: 6
$ unset ANDROID_LOG_TAGS
$ adb
Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.36
...

adb seems to be totally unuseable with ANDROID_LOG_TAGS variable defined, and looks like its value doesn't even matters. Am I doing something wrong?

Solution

  • There have been some logging subsystem changes in Android. As a temporary regression ANDROID_LOG_TAGS got parsed locally instead of usual pass-through to the device side. This had been fixed since then. Wait for the next version.
