Observation¶

openQA test in scenario sle-15-SP4-Online-ppc64le-yast_self_update@ppc64le fails in
validate_self_update

After checking the y2logs, it seemed as if the self update was skipped. Yast team prompted for a bug report ( see bug#1192515 https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1192515 ) where they spotted that in compressed y2log-1 , the self update really happens. We need to investigate why the y2logs for ppc64le can be sporadically compressed (meaning probably that there are more logs during installation) and why there are logs for skipping self update (the following logs are spotted only in case of test failure:

2021-10-29 08:26:00 <1> install(4141) [Ruby] clients/inst_update_installer.rb(installer_updated?):203 /var/lib/YaST2/installer_updated exists

If there is something suspicious, we should update bug#1192515, otherwise we should modify the test module validate_self_update to grep in compressed logs as well (or avoid compressing logs before the module runs, if there is a way).

I have ran the test 10 times here: https://openqa.suse.de/tests/7675257#next_previous
The module fails 4/10 , usually for workers in QA-Power8-4-kvm , but that is not a reliable indication because there is one failure for QA-Power8-5-kvm as well and also some tests have passed for QA-Power8-4-kvm workers.

Test suite description¶

Test suite conducts installation with self-update explicitly enabled. No hard checks are done that the self-updating is really disabled. Installation is validated by successful boot and that YaST does not report any issue.

Reproducible¶

Fails since (at least) Build 61.1 (current job)

Expected result¶

Last good: 58.2 (or more recent)
