Description

Observation¶

openQA test in scenario opensuse-Tumbleweed-DVD-x86_64-yast2_gui@64bit fails in
yast2_control_center

Reproducible¶

Fails since (at least) Build 20180314

Expected result¶

Last good: 20180313 (or more recent)

Suggestions¶

Call pkcon_quit within test module.

As an alternative, we can explore if pressing yes is stable enough to fix in the test. (First option is still preferable)

Further details¶

Always latest result in this scenario: latest

either we explicitly terminate PK before hand or we ensure the pk refresh is completed (the test sometimes passes, most of the times fails).

failing reproducibly every time since the mentioned build

not really - whenever the PK conflict does not show up (and I see it) I can create one or two more needles. The failure always happens to be in the same module, but it is not always the exact same error

e.g. https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/643136#step/yast2_control_center/20 failed on missing needles for the printer config

I see, in cases like these feel free to add the subject keyword "[sporadic]" so that no one states: "One job did not fail, is it solved?" ;)

So unconditionally calling pkcon quit before starting sw_single should maybe solve that problem, shouldn't it?

My first try to solve this by a simple "pkcon quit" was not successful:
http://boltzmann.suse.de/tests/43#step/yast2_control_center/2

Using this way we don't know how long PackageKit will take until it actually quits. So maybe it is better to go for the button-clicking solution.

yes, I also do not have any better plan now. Should be ok to have a multi-tag assert_screen with if match_has_tag. https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst-distri-opensuse/blob/master/tests/x11/kontact.pm can provide an example.

The clicking approach works – using a wisely selected needle even with all the repeated dialogs that ask to try to quit again.
