Observation¶

openQA test in scenario opensuse-Tumbleweed-DVD-x86_64-update_13.2@64bit fails in
xterm
to show the "xterm" suggestion in krunner (in time). The test module "xterm" is scheduled just after "user_gui_login" so we try to open krunner shortly after logging in where the system naturally is still more busy than in a later step when we the session is idle. This might be a problem even more in the case of upgrades, maybe because some older data is automatically migrated in user services, e.g. in plasma.

Reproducible¶

Fails sporadically, e.g. 8 jobs ago in the same scenario: https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/668678#step/xterm/4

Expected result¶

Upgrade tests pass the krunner step in plasma x11 tests in a stable way

Suggestions¶

• Find a smaller reproducer, e.g. load from snapshot before GUI session login, load xterm after that
• Just wait longer in general in desktop-runner, especially when it is krunner
• Alternative: Make sure to wait longer after the login, e.g. in user_gui_login, open krunner (or generic desktop-runner), wait for it show the suggestion and exit without executing the command (without 'ret' press) -> Con: Potentially complicated logic to repeat what other tests do anyway with x11_start_program
• Alternative: Just wait longer in xterm because it most likely is the first test module after login -> Con: Makes modules more dependant on order
