https://openqa.suse.de/tests/1537018#step/force_cron_run/3 shows the current problem. The test module starts with the login prompt on tty1, then switches to tty2 but fails to type the username "root". Need to check the logfile in detail.

So apparently in first_boot the system looks for the login prompt on tty1. Why tty1 I don't know. In force_cron_run the first action done is select_console 'root-console' which triggers an assert_screen looking for "tty2-selected" - which would be fine - as well as "text-logged-in-root" - which should also be fine and does not apply here because the console is not logged in - and "text-login" which is most likely a problem because what is visible on screen is "tty1" which is detected over the tag "text-login" but the system did not yet switch to tty2. Then the switch to tty2 is triggered while the username "root" is typed which in consequence is lost. So maybe it is wrong to look for "text-login" and we should not do this. Let's check if I find from git log why we do this…

I guess we are lucky.

added the look for "tty$nr-selected" when in before we were just looking for "text-login" as a generic one.

Of course the needle "text-login-20140219" is used like everywhere, e.g. see https://openqa.suse.de/tests/1536747#step/consoletest_setup/2 where we see it being matched but we also have tty2-selected matching so maybe it is not that dramatic. Even more, for SLE15 it seems the old needle does not even match anymore after a console font change: https://openqa.suse.de/tests/1538565#step/keymap_or_locale/13 so maybe about right to delete the old needles and do it properly with tty$nr-selected needles.

So I deleted the needles:

• text-login-20140219
• text-login-20160416
• text-login-eurlatgr-20180130

and checked with https://openqa.suse.de/admin/needles that at least in each "last match" there is an alternative tty-specific needle match available.

but kept text-login-ipmitool-20170624 which seems to be only used for virtualization tests, e.g. https://openqa.suse.de/tests/1535048#step/reboot_and_wait_up_normal/5 . Seems like these tests just want to be special :)

MR merged. https://openqa.suse.de/tests/1543334 triggered to check

I was monitoring about 100 jobs today, all QAM jobs failing in consoletest_setup, keymap_or_locale as well as kernel_kexec which was also failing as a consequence of me removing a needle which I worked around with a corresponding needle. The proper fix would need to go into #33307 . https://openqa.suse.de/tests/1546885 is one example of a fixed job. I am still waiting for about 15 jobs to execute (waiting scheduled for about 12h now) which should finish over night.

seems I have broken migration tests where tty6 must be matched by tty2 is expected by needles -> https://openqa.suse.de/tests/1545352#step/patch_before_migration/2 I created a new needle "tty2-selected-tty6_fallback_for_migration-poo33097-20180315" as workaround. Triggered test as https://openqa.suse.de/tests/1546883#live to check

Also, qam tests broken, e.g. https://openqa.suse.de/tests/1544823#step/consoletest_setup/40 , created new needle, triggered https://openqa.suse.de/tests/1546884#live to check. Also restarted others

It works for migration tests now, thanks for your help.
