            Bug ID: 276892
           Summary: Improve congratulations text in build-webkit by having
                    the complete command to run needed a launcher
           Product: WebKit
           Version: WebKit Nightly Build
          Hardware: Unspecified
                OS: Unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Tools / Tests
          Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
          Reporter: sam at webkit.org

The current "congratulation" text output at the end of build-webkit leads can be a bit confusing, especially if set-webkit-configuration is set to a different configuration than the what you just built. 

For instance, if you get a new clone of WebKit, and are following https://webkit.org/building-webkit/ by calling "build-webkit --debug", once you finish the build you will see:

====================================================================
 WebKit is now built (10m:31s). 
 To run Safari with this newly-built code, use the
 "Tools/Scripts/run-safari" script.
====================================================================

but if you run "Tools/Scripts/run-safari" it will fail with a confusing error about not finding JavaScriptCore:

"Can't find built framework at ".../WebKit/WebKitBuild/Release/JavaScriptCore.framework/Versions/A/JavaScriptCore"."

By including the complete set of arguments for the command, in this case, "Tools/Scripts/run-safari --debug", the first time experience can be a bit smoother.
