action #19408
closedinteractive mode: stopped live view shows current needle, needle editor shows old needle
Description
observation¶
I was running a test in interactive mode. In one step the test could not find a needle but I saw near matches with 80% match. After the test paused execution (interactive: yes, waiting for input: yes), I could see a needle of "yast2 dns-server" status of dns-server "stopped" as expected. Going into the needle editor showed me an old screen with status dns-server "running". Refreshing the page in either the live view or the needle editor did not change this. See the attached video for the whole impression. After "reloading & retry" the needles although they were not changed the live view still showed the same content, in the needle editor now the same, expected screen was shown
steps to reproduce¶
- run a test in interactive mode with immediately stop waiting for needles where one needle change would immediately be expected after an action in the test
- observe current needle in live view
- go to needle editor and observe old needle is shown
problem¶
Probably introduced by rework of the screenshot enqueueing in 2016 or maybe also by the most recent commit 52e3055

This is being addressed in https://github.com/os-autoinst/openQA/pull/1381
The problem was actually very simple: The commands.pm on the worker side, was asking isotovideo to reload the needles, but it wasn't refreshing the cache itself, as the isotovideo backend is agnostic to whether there is caching enabled or not, lead to the new needle not being reloaded when they are re-initialized in isotovideo.

With last PR needles are synced, but somehow the reload is not performing any actions.

As Santi is not doing any progress, I'm declaring this as part of the epic to redo the interactive mode
