Description

Observation

openQA test in scenario opensuse-Tumbleweed-DVD-x86_64-gnome@64bit fails in
hexchat

Acceptance criteria

  • AC: The failure rate has been reduced to the minimum possible.

Suggestions

  • Use a prepared configuration file to skip typing connection information.

Reproducible

Fails since (at least) Build 20190702

Expected result

Last good: 20190701 (or more recent)

Further details

Always latest result in this scenario: latest

After clicking the window, we are supposedly pressing ctrl-a, followed by delete - but looking at the screenshot, 'ctrl' was missed, 'a' typed (and 'delete as no effect at the end of the word)

A proposal: https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst-distri-opensuse/pull/8382

avoids using ctrl-a, but rather sends 'home' and then 'delete' until the input box is empty

IMO this fails since GNOME tests runs under wayland (i.e. we removed the cirrus setting)

Should be fixed by: https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst/pull/1260/files

To resolve, provide verification runs, set a proper value for VNC_TYPING_LIMIT if necessary.
