## Observation openQA test in scenario opensuse-15.1-DVD-x86_64-update_Leap_15.0_gnome@64bit fails in [gnucash](https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/753917/modules/gnucash/steps/24) So I was just staring at this gnucash failure without any hint what went wrong. So what I had to do is * to go to the previous results * observe that the last run was green * click on the last run and manually navigate to gnucash * have two browser windows open to visually compare the difference * see that gnucash seems to behave the same but still fails. Maybe some subtle font change somewhere? * look at the source code trying to understand what the test does * can't understand why the code didn't look for a needle. wondering if the code I am looking at is what actually ran * open a terminal to look at the git history of gnucash.pm * see that okurz reverted a previous change earlier today * restart all tests that use gnucash I think there are opportunities to reduce the amount of manual steps involved, for example * tell me that the previous run was good and provide a link I can click on to compare, jump to the relevant test/needle right away * warn me that the code I am looking at is not what was run. provide link to show the diff Bonus points * show links/diffs to other runs in the same build that also have gnucash failures to proof it's always the same * links/diffs to gnucash failures in other job groups. I suppose in this case the problem was spotted in TW already * single click solution to restart all affected tests at once
