Description

Observation

t/ui/15-admin-workers.t shows perl warnings but still succeeds, e.g.:

$ prove -l t/ui/15-admin-workers.t 
t/ui/15-admin-workers.t .. 1/? Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at /home/okurz/local/os-autoinst/openQA/lib/OpenQA/WebAPI/Controller/Admin/Workers.pm line 28.

All tests successful.

Result: PASS

This is also visible in circleci even though even less obvious. https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/github/os-autoinst/openQA/4264/workflows/c03c8397-a61e-481c-afbb-8c8839a69e9a/jobs/40889/steps is green and there is no warning visible in the log output however https://app.circleci.com/pipelines/github/os-autoinst/openQA/4264/workflows/c03c8397-a61e-481c-afbb-8c8839a69e9a/jobs/40889/artifacts references https://40889-20883829-gh.circle-artifacts.com/0/artifacts/ui/15-admin-workers.t which shows the same warnings as above.

Our test code uses use Test::Warnings ':report_warnings'; but to no avail. I also crosschecked if maybe Test::Warnings in a newer version is the problem itself but the problem reproduces with perl-Test-Warnings-0.026

Expected result

  • Tests should fail if there is any warning, regardless of the source

Problem

This could be related to the fact that we start the SeleniumDriver in a background process and the warning might come from there. Introducing an artificial warning in the main thread is correctly handled.

Suggestions

  • Try to narrow down the source of the problem and identify from which process the warning comes
  • Extend the existing approach to handle warnings or find a different approach for all background processes, e.g. compare to https://github.com/os-autoinst/os-autoinst/pull/1497
