closed[functional][u][sporadic] test fails in vim - yast2-booloader left visual artifact
0%
Description
Observation¶
yast2-booloader left visual artifact.
Suggestion¶
- Could a
clear/ctrl+lbe enough to redraw the screen before executing vim?
Tasks¶
- File a product bug for Yast, because it is leaving visual artifacts on the console.
- Create a workaround needle in module yast2_booloader to detect the bug.
- Create a workaround needle in module vim to make it continue testing
- Maybe vim could be started without syntax highlighting to avoid the problem of colors.
Reproducible¶
- In scenario sle-12-SP5-Server-DVD-aarch64-system_performance@aarch64
- Fails since Build 0307
- Example of build 0307
Expected result¶
Last good: 0303
Further details¶
- Always latest result in this scenario: latest

I suggest to simply clear the console in the predecessor module yast2_bootloader

This is already done: https://openqa.suse.de/tests/3469943#step/yast2_bootloader/9

What is the status here? We are almost at GMC? Can we get that fixed?

So ncurses applications like yast or vim usually don't write to the normal terminal scrollback buffer to prevent polluting it but use the "alternative screen".
My last idea is to explicitly run the clear command on the alternative screen:

The question is if this is a product bug.
I will just create a bug to be sure - devs can still close it.
Anyway this should not really harm GMC testing as we can simply restart jobs with this problem as this is very sporadic.

Created a workaround needle and will handle this as a product bug for now.

I have changed the references in openQA to use the bug.

Can you provide here the verification run of the soft-fail in OSD? We can resolve this ticket with it.
