QA » openQA Project » openQA Tests

Acceptance criteria¶

• AC1: An openQA test exists that verifies entries in /etc/hosts after installation
• AC2: An openQA test exists that verifies entries in /etc/hosts after modification by yast2 lan

Tasks¶

• Understand the current openQA test modules for "yast2_lan" and "yast2_lan_restart"
• If not already covered create a test case which tests what is added to hosts file and performs at least following:
  • Install SLES with static IP and hostname
  • cat /etc/hosts after installation
  • Start yast2 lan, edit network adapter and change the hostname to something else
  • On the hostname tab change the hostname as well, submit changes.
  • cat /etc/hosts

Further details¶

From an original yast team trello card - URL?:
Depending on previous setup (examples in the bug report, all cases happened when editing NIC properties, not on DNS/Hostname Tab), it could happen that:
1) in case of adding FQDN into /etc/hosts no alias was created
2) FQDN was not added as a canonical name but after the alias (proper format in /etc/hosts is [ , , , ... ], but it sometime happened that the record was stored in form [ , , ]
3) We discovered later that the fix for bsc#1052042 generates a new bug preventing yast2 lan from setting up a new hostname to the same static IP as previsously, see bsc#1115644
