Returning output when execexam fails

[rebekahrudd]

Sometimes execexam will run and even though the program fails there is no output given. Execexam should give an output when it fails so that people know it fails and so they can work to start fixing it. Often in computer science when no output is given that is a good sign. It signifies that the program ran and worked and did what it was supposed to. This is confusing and gives people the wrong idea about whether execexam is working or not.

@rebekahrudd can you give an example of what you are talking about? Is this an issue with the json report being empty when it shouldn't be or can you explain the bug further?

I haven't been able to reproduce the error myself, I have only seen it on other's laptops.
