Day1 is sunny

by michelepagot

This day is mostly dedicated to trace a path

DONE

In Day1 I manage to create a test skeleton but I miss the target to see Wezterm up and running in a openQA test. The TW base test boot_to_desktop keep to fail when running on my personal openQA instance. So too few Wezterm for Day1. I manage to create this page and setup everything locally on my laptop to locally generate this page but I do not master the Jeklly blog generator yet and I do not like as the page is rendered.

Create THIS webpage to show the progress

repo created
gh-pages branch created
theme selected and create a first index.md
add hackweek logo
render the page locally:
1. looking at testing-your-github-pages-site-locally-with-jekyll to be able to build the page locally.
2. Some issue as bundle installed jekyll is not found by bundle as running bundle exec jekyll.
3. This one helps: devhints.io but then …
4. I face issues/399,
5. workaround using PAGES_REPO_NWO=michelepagot/opensuse.hackweek.2022 but then …
6. I face (issues/8523)[https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll/issues/8523] solved by running bundle add webrick

… ok, I have my page served locally and enough Ruby for the moment …

Test Hello World

Create a bare minimal hello world test to deploy a TW and install Wezterm

Test code

maybe tomcat is a good candidate. Use as template these 3 files:

cp schedule/functional/tomcat.yaml schedule/functional/wezterm.yaml
cp tests/x11/tomcat.pm tests/x11/wezterm.pm
cp lib/Tomcat/Utils.pm lib/Wezterm/Utils.pm

Hackweek test code is published on wezterm_hackweek

How to run my test?

I have some committed test code and a schedule. How to run them? In particular:

Where to run? On which openQA instance? Do I need an instance?
How to configure or trigger? Clone? Start from scratch?

I know about openqa-clone-custom-git-refspec but how it works? Which openQA instance to use?

I’d like a job to clone. It should be Tumbleweed based (I’m only aware about wezterm package existing for TW).

Should I keep looking at tomcat test as reference? Where tomcat is running in openQA? On which instance? Generally speaking -giving a test name how to find an execution example?-

openQA instance

I already have a openQA personal instance on a private server. Otherwise I should look at o3. Or maybe I do not need an openQA instance at all isotovideo

Should I clone “tomcat”?

look for string functional/tomcat in some of the trigger/bot repo that I’m aware of… no luck.
look in o3 with its search engine … no luck.
ask the oracle: google… issues/91187 and it has a lot of useful links :-)

Should I clone a relevant TW job?

Group and build

First attempt: my first attempt was to clone GNOME on TW

openqa.opensuse.orgopenqa.opensuse.org
openQA: opensuse-Tumbleweed-DVD-x86_64-Build20220625-desktopapps-gnome-x11@64bit test results
openQA is a testing framework mainly for distributions

as it seems simple enough: 3 steps, 51 sec …isn’t it? But as result of:

% openqa-clone-job --from https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/2436441 --skip-chained-deps  SCHEDULE=tests/boot/boot_to_desktop
