openQA

Some fun progress on this side today.

Needles

Talking with Stephan, he suggested this talk: openSUSE Conference 2017 How openQA works, needles are at 7min 30sec but the overall talk is just 30min.

Needles can be created directly in the openQA web interface

There’s a lot of knowledge and good practice to apply when developing your needles ( I suggest this video). Lets start from something simple. Here how the application look like in the test machine

and here how the needle match on it

Even a so simple match sometime could fail

(tab missing)

New needles committed .

Test terminal

There’s a generic function available to test terminals: test_terminal.

here the needle created for it

Otherwise, starting a program is as simple as x11_start_program

# start Wezterm
sub start() {
    switch_to_desktop();
    x11_start_program('wezterm');
    wait_still_screen 5;
}

Test commit for this test.

Test organization

It was

With this commit it is now:

Wezterm

Start creating some simple tests about events triggered by key bindings: all available defauld keys are documented.

Fer example test that a new tab is opened when pressing SUPER-t.

Contribute to documentation https://github.com/michelepagot/wezterm/commit/c2193571486665c74254a6decb0f9c144f87a09f

TODO

Hackweek webpage

Create a new separate page where to start developing a hackweek presentation (reveal.js maybe)

openQA

Ask if it is possible to run the test on some existing openQA instance (maybe the o3 public one)
Keep exploring isotovideo

Wezterm

look at how to generate wezterm.lua
