closed[sle][functional][y] detect "openSUSE sucks bug" about btrfs balance and record_soft_fail (was: yast2_gui tests modules as application could not start up)
0%
Description
Motivation¶
Tests seem to be unstable and some yast modules do not start up on time. We don't know if SUT is under load at this point of time, but all of these failures have same symptoms,
so we should come up with some scalable solution, including disabling these test modules. -> We know that the SUTs are under high load looking at the "loadavg" log, e.g. https://openqa.suse.de/tests/1898401/file/yast2_software_management-loadavg.txt pointing to https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1063638
Please, list all issues you face in this ticket, where module doesn't show up on time.
Acceptance criteria¶
- AC1: Detect btrfs balance and bsc#1063638 (see https://github.com/os-autoinst/openQA/blob/master/docs/WritingTests.asciidoc#capturing-kernel-exceptions-and-or-any-other-exceptions-from-the-serial-console)

Sorry, doesn't feel to me as if this ticket is providing value. If a module does not startup in time then it should be solved with longer waiting. If the module never starts up it is a product problem and needs to be investigated and reported. We should be able to cover this with #39011 already

Just found https://openqa.suse.de/tests/1898401#step/yast2_software_management/6 and the logs clearly show that btrfs balance and scrub are running in the background so it is https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1063638, the "openSUSE/SLE sucks"-bug which is not moving foward.
We reference this bug in force_scheduled_tasks. It could be that our recent rework of that module does not actually work for SLE12SP4 as subsequent modules seem to be more worse affected by btrfs balance runs or the btrfs balance run actually is still running.
At best we can detect this bug and prevent reviewer confusion, e.g. again with the "serial exception handling feature". Should follow #38621
