Description

Observation

https://openqa.suse.de/tests/8151113
is incomplete with

Reason: backend died: Error connecting to VNC server <10.161.145.85:5901>: IO::Socket::INET: connect: Connection timed out

maybe related to #76813

Steps to reproduce

Find jobs referencing this ticket with the help of
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/os-autoinst/scripts/master/openqa-query-for-job-label ,
call openqa-query-for-job-label poo#106685

Suggestions

  • SQL helps track down affected cases, but e.g. logs are still required to be dug into
  • impossible to reproduce locally
  • we apparently can't, but if hypothetically we could debug live, we could detect e.g. vnc issues
    • maybe we can add a feature to record vnc issues?
    • we can rule out all other cases?
    • kill a vnc server on purpose to achieve a similar end result, but that's not the cause
    • can we re-use vnc ssh connections?
      • Cris doesn't understand this properly
      • we rather not add stuff to production if we don't know if it's going to work
      • let's brainstorm this in a mob session

@mkittler this could be related to #76813 so assigning to you to know about it and track as "blocked" until #76813 is resolved.

After having a closer look I come to the conclusion that this problem is actually identical to the cases mentioned in #76813.

This is an autogenerated message for openQA integration by the openqa_review script:

This bug is still referenced in a failing openQA test: autoyast_reinstall
https://openqa.suse.de/tests/8306625

To prevent further reminder comments one of the following options should be followed:

  1. The test scenario is fixed by applying the bug fix to the tested product or the test is adjusted
  2. The openQA job group is moved to "Released" or "EOL" (End-of-Life)
  3. The bugref in the openQA scenario is removed or replaced, e.g. label:wontfix:boo1234

Expect the next reminder at the earliest in 28 days if nothing changes in this ticket.

I'm still not sure why that is happening, similar to #76813.

(14 rows)

so mostly s390x, both z/VM as well as kvm. We have to start somewhere and as https://app.codecov.io/gh/os-autoinst/os-autoinst/blob/master/backend/svirt.pm shows that we don't have good statement coverage let's start with the comparatively easy and save task of increasing test coverage of backend/svirt.pm before doing any further changes, even if it's just low-risk logging enhancements.

So we have improved unit test coverage for the relevant backend file which can help any contributor. Right now I don't see what we can do immediately ourselves so removing again from the backlog of SUSE QE Tools. Free to pickup for any contributor.
