From the logfiles it looks like you are running type_string and wait_serial manually. It might be (I don't know if this makes sense) that the type_string output shows up in the "serial console output" but wait_serial can not catch it. Did you try "assert_script_run" instead? From the logs it gives many warnings so your machine might be really slow and therefore having timing issues.

Also take a look at https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst-distri-opensuse/pull/1006/files how tests can be improved

Thanks for replying. Actually I ran "script_output" instead of running wait_serial manually. That's why I think it's a test api issue.

Below is how I used "script_output" in my test case:

my $timeout = 3600 * 9;
my $interval = 120;
my $cmd = "[[ -f /var/log/qaset/control/DONE ]] && echo 'done' || echo 'running'";
while ($timeout >= 0) {
    my $output = script_output($cmd, 120);
    $output =~ s/^\s+|\s+$//g;
    if ($output eq "done") {
        last;
    }
    else {
        $timeout -= $interval;
        sleep($interval);
    }
}

hm, this looks ok. Yes, probably a testapi issue.

It seems to me that curl is too slow for some reason. In the log wait_serial reports fail before Mojo logs for download are displayed. Try to use 'type_string' instead of 'script_output' like (not tested):

my $timeout = 3600 * 9;
my $interval = 120;
my $cmd = "[[ -f /var/log/qaset/control/DONE ]] && echo 'done'\n";
while ($timeout >= 0) {
    type_string($cmd);
    last if wait_serial('done', $interval);
    $timeout -= $interval;
}

Btw. $timeout 9hours is way too much for openQA. It will kill the job after 2h.

script_output has to work still. But I never seen such a problem.

I've replaced "script_output" with "type_string" and "wait_serial". So far so good. Thanks for your suggestion.
