Description

Motivation

Additionally to testing, openQA can be used to create demonstration videos, and ideally the same
test code can be used, just that there should be certain pauses, and we would want to see the mouse
moving and have a little pause before clicking.

Testing of course still has the higher priotity, and the os-autoinst code should not get more
complicated, but for creating simple demo videos we probably don't need much new code.

Acceptance criteria

  • AC1: A demo mode exists and is enabled via a setting like DEMO_MODE, which can be used for videos targeted at human beings learning about something

Suggestions

  • Provide an easy way to delay/sleep around needle matches (assuming this is usually what a user would want to take a look at)
  • "Slow down" the generated video rather than the test itself (e.g. around needles etc)
  • Move the mouse pointer gradually rather than instantaneously

Since I did that for the Perl Workshop, here is a first suggestion: https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst/pull/2274

We would need more sleep calls in various occasions I guess, but that can be also done later.

Maybe you are going a bit too quick here :) I think there is still a variable NICEVIDEO or something similar

EDIT: I thought of https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst/commit/9b546ccf7082b5c4d7613c095554b07c072de3b5 , maybe it's just defined within os-autoinst-distri-opensuse nowadays

Like I wrote, I did the main work already as part of the talk preparation for the workshop, and I didn't want that code to lie around for weeks.

I wrote in the pull request that it doesn't cover all functions yet where it would need to add a sleep.

Maybe we can leave the new functionality totally undocumented for now (and/or mark it as experimental), so that we can make breaking changes later.
