My PR got merged but I don't understand what is happening here:

>>> assert_screen: match=broken-console-font timed out after 5
<<< type_string(string='clear
', max_interval=250)
<<< assert_screen(mustmatch='cleared-console', timeout=30)
MATCH(consoletest_setup-20141125:0.96)
MATCH(cleared-console-autoyast-font-20141126:0.96)
no match 30
MATCH(consoletest_setup-20141125:1.00)
MATCH(cleared-console-autoyast-font-20141126:1.00)
>>> assert_screen: match=cleared-console timed out after 30
<<< mydie(cause_of_death=[
'needle(s) \'cleared-console\' not found'
])

After the call to "clear" there is

no match 30

which means that there was no match but we still have a timeout of "30 tries". correct?
why don't I see a decrease to 0 before failing then?

ok, I think I understood it better.

• no match <high_number> could mean it exited early from the loop because the screen did not change at all --> check in source code and try to improve log message
• no match 2 and then fail could mean an "off-by-one" incorrectness, return from the loop in the second-to-last run not the last run --> crosscheck and potentially improve
