coordination #14818: [EPIC] Interactive mode is an usability disaster - openQA Project - openSUSE Project Management Tool

Subject changed from [interactive] Test got timeout in pause mode to Interactive mode is an usability desaster
Category changed from Regressions/Crashes to 124
Status changed from In Progress to New
Priority changed from High to Normal

As a matter of fact: there is no "pause mode". The button you pressed is titled 'Stop waiting for needle' - and if you press it, the job will fail unless you create a new needle and reload.

I did some research on it during HW - https://hackweek.suse.com/16/projects/openqa-ide

But a severe cold stopped me from any real progress :(

User Stories for openQA Developer Mode

We have different developers:

Reviewer Ray wants a way to update needles without job restarts
Test Developer Tim wants a way to maintain tests and needles
System Developer Lea wants a way to access running SUTs

User Stories:

Lea learned from a bug report that gnucash crashes on startup, but can't reproduce in her system. As such she wants openQA to pause before the gnucash test and give her a chance to step through the test process until the crash to continue manually collecting logs. Lea prefers to have direct access to the SUT - vnc or ssh. She does not need nor know openQA test API in general.
Ray reviews the latest build of Tumbleweed and notices a font change breaking all old needles in GUI applications. He wants openQA to pause whenever an assert_screen would timeout to update the needle and redo the assert_screen with that new needle. Ray is working at about 3 scenarios at the same time - covering different areas of needles.
Tim got a ticket from Ray that the docker test failed and wants openQA to reproduce the issue and pause at the beginning of the docker test. Afterwards he wants openQA to make a disk snapshot and step through the test execution to find out where the problem is. After he found out, he reloads the snapshot to tweak the execution. During this process, openQA records his steps and allows to add needles.
