Description

Observation

The console_reboot test frequently fails in openSUSE Maintenance OpenQA.

openQA test in scenario opensuse-42.2-Maintenance-x86_64-qam-GM-gnome+updates@64bit fails in
console_reboot

Message is:
Test died: needle 'grub2' not found at /var/lib/openqa/cache/openqa1-opensuse/tests/opensuse/lib/opensusebasetest.pm line 350.

This often passes upon a subsequent run. Could this be made more robust?

Reproducible

Fails since (at least) Build :493653.MozillaFirefox.6663 (current job)

Expected result

Last good: :493608.samba.6732 (or more recent)

Further details

Always latest result in this scenario: latest

If we simply want to accept the longer time it takes for rebooting then we just increase the timeout. If you want to call it a bug and report it we can track it with assert_screen_with_soft_timeout

Situation improved by reworking the needles tags and unregistering, e.g. https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst-distri-opensuse/pull/2867 and https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst-distri-opensuse/pull/2895

Looking at the most recent example in the originally mentioned example https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/410187 and back for e.g. 100 jobs the latest failing example is https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/404934#step/console_reboot/3 failing to find any needle, probably because of changed test code. https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/410187#step/console_reboot/3 is how it should look like. I assume we are done here in general. Please reopen with specific failing cases when you find any. General refactoring of the boot process will be followed on in #18964
