Description

Acceptance criteria

  • DONE AC1: the scenario "autoyast-supportserver" does not fail on this error anymore
  • DONE AC2: the workaround in the testsuite setting of "autoyast-supportserver" is not there anymore

Observation

openQA test in scenario sle-15-Leanos-DVD-x86_64-autoyast-supportserver@64bit fails in
login

DIE Virtio terminal does not support send_key. Use type_string (possibly with an
ANSI/XTERM escape sequence), or switch to a console which sends key presses, not
terminal codes.

The setting VIRTIO_CONSOLE=1 is set on the machine 64bit.

The setting should be change for this test suite temporary and contact with rpalethorpe about how to send the key properly.

It is possible to use a parameter terminate_with to send Ctrl-c: ETX (End Of Text)

os-autoinst/consoles/virtio_screen.pm

for ($nargs->{terminate_with} || '') {
    if    (/^ETX$/) { $term = "\cC"; }    #^C, Ctrl-c, End Of Text
    elsif (/^EOT$/) { $term = "\cD"; }    #^D, Ctrl-d, End Of Transmission

I set VIRTIO_CONSOLE=0 on the testsuite "autoyast-supportserver" as a workaround mentioning this ticket so that we don't have hard to review incompletes for the time being. Also I added acceptance criteria to the ticket so that we also do not forget to remove the workaround from the test suite again before this ticket is resolved.

We should try the steps suggested by rpalethorpe to handle low level input methods on the serial console to avoid race conditions like this http://opeth/tests/156#step/setup/1.

I don't know how to proceed here...
the documentation is kinda good, but apparently the implementation still lacks something

so I've tried with

  • sending ETX twice -> no success
  • remove the | tee -> no success
  • type_string '\cC' -> no success

the only thing which could work is to switch to another console which is not virtio, but this would invalidate the test I guess, as it states 

 33     # the supportserver image can be different version than the currently tested system
 34     # so try to login without use of needles
 35     select_virtio_console();

if it's fine to switch to another console, I can try that - but that needs to be clarified with the maintainer of the supportserver tests
