elfythomi: hi - not sure what you are referring to :)16:43
thomielfy: "<elfy> autopilot confuses the bejeesus out of me ;)"16:46
elfyoh right16:46
elfywellll then thomi16:47
elfyI'm only interested in what it can do for Xubuntu :)16:47
elfywhich last time I looked into it - wasn't very much16:47
thomiremind me: Xubuntu uses Gtk?16:48
elfybut generally - unless you've got time to dig into m/l's and balloons blogs and the one page I managed to find - there does seem to be a paucity of information for it16:48
elfyyep - gtk2/3 in varying amounts16:48
elfythomi: what 'we' are trying to ascertain is whether it's going to be of use to us for automatic testing of anything other than images16:50
balloonselfy, thomi has been grooming a rather nice tutorial for a little while now: http://unity.ubuntu.com/autopilot/tutorial/tutorial.html16:50
elfyk16:50
elfyshame it's not mentioned anywhere then :p16:51
balloonsthat and the api reference, you can't ask for much more http://unity.ubuntu.com/autopilot/api/index.html16:51
elfythat's a whole lot more than the last time I looked16:51
balloonsit is the official documentation, it should be linked from everywhere16:51
thomisorry guys, I'm in a meeting at the moment, so I can't pay much attention, but I'll be back soon16:51
elfyballoons: but you know what it is that I'm after from it16:51
elfyI'll look at those 216:52
balloonselfy, yes.. I would give you the same advice.. dig in and try it16:52
elfyI did that - it never worked ;)16:52
balloonsDanChapman, has a nice gtk emulator he's spent a bit of time on to make it easier, but don't worry about that for now16:52
balloonsgtk apps can be finicky, it's not quite as easy with them16:52
* balloons installs leafpad16:53
elfyyep - understood - but that's what we'd be looking at it for16:53
elfyI'll be back later - was only really responding to a ping, just got in from work16:53
elfytbh balloons I've never actually managed to get myself past the "Is it going to be of any use to us?" question16:59
elfyand nothing that I've found to read has anything to help with that question17:00
balloonselfy, we can chat later when you have time, no worries17:00
balloonselfy, well it will provide you a way to automatically check packages you care about17:00
balloonsmake sure they aren't broken.. if that's useful or not is up to you I guess :-)17:00
elfyI understand that Canonical et al are only really interested in it working for their things - nothing wrong with that17:00
balloonswe have a number of tests for things we didn't write.. we care about everything we ship in the repos ;-)17:01
elfyright - so if I got someone interested in getting it to check things for us - we'd at least get a this is/or isn't broken17:01
elfyballoons: you know what I mean :)17:01
balloonselfy, you could get feedback on brokeness.. but if you setup as build tests you could prevent the package from getting into the archive17:02
balloonslet's use an example. Say you want to land the new version of xfce with a new panel. you build the new packages, but the panel tests fail and the panel doesn't build.17:02
elfyballoons: my biggest issue is I don't code - so can't see the wood for the trees - so I have to find someone else to possibly waste their time - if you follow my drift17:02
balloonsit saves you from building and pushing in things that might be broken17:03
elfymm17:04
elfyI wonder if any other flavours are bothering17:05
balloonsautopilot is but a tool, and it's only one tool17:06
elfyyea - I understand that - I'm just trying to get a really basic understanding so I can at least make a half-informed decision on how far to run with it17:07
elfyand nothing that I've read is at that level - it's all how to build testcases17:07
elfybut gtg now for a bit17:08
balloonswell building a testing infastructure or not lol is not going to be in tool docs17:08
balloonsif you want it, it can be done, and here's some tools we use to do it (but it's not the only way)17:08

balloonsthomi, is this fixed in 1.4? https://bugs.launchpad.net/autopilot/+bug/120900419:15
ubot5Ubuntu bug 1209004 in Autopilot "Process Manager tries to call Xlib on phablet devices" [Undecided,Confirmed]19:15
elfyballoons: I'm back now, if you've got time to chat - but I'm not sure if we'll get anywhere between us - we don't seem to be able to see each other's points very well atm19:16
elfyI'll probably hassle dan tomorrow19:17
balloonselfy, simply stated reading the autopilot tutorial won't help you at all if you are trying to decide if you want to create a test infrastructure or not19:17
elfyyep - I got that far :)19:17
elfyI think that what I have to do is get someone to look into for us - luckily I have a suitable candidate in mind :)19:18
balloonsok, if you want that, then you have to choose a tool19:18
thomiballoons: no, but I had a meeting this morning that included getting the unity8 work scheduled19:18
thomiso.. soon :)19:18
balloonsthomi, :-) ty19:18
elfyballoons: choose a tool? what do you mean? is there different tools to do autopilot with?19:19
balloonselfy, so for gtk apps you can use mango, ltsp, xpresser, autopilot, sikuli, or something else you write :-)19:20
balloonselfy, autopilot is but a tool to test apps.. specifically it will test gtk2/gtk3 and qt apps19:20
thomi..and qml19:20
thomi:)19:20
balloonsand then of course, if you want to test at a different level than a functional or UI level, there's tools for that too19:21
balloons^^ autopilot is not one of those tools, nor is anything I listed above most likely either :-)19:21
balloonselfy, I've either confused you or you get it all perfectly.. I'll guess the former19:22
elfy:p19:23
elfyI'll have a read when I'm more awake I think19:25
elopioballoons: who develops the rss ?19:27
balloonselopio, ohh right.. what issues are you having?19:27
elopioballoons: there's a test that adds a topic name, and then looks for it on the tabs.19:30
elopiobut the topic is not added to the tabs.19:30
balloonsmm, yes, ok.19:30
elopioI'm wondering if the test is outdated, or it's a real bug.19:30
balloonswell at one point the topic was added19:30
balloonsrss reader has historically just broken the tests with UI changes19:31
* balloons launches rss reader19:33
balloonselopio, yes, see the topics are all tabs at the top19:33
balloonselopio, so I would call that a bug19:34
elopioballoons: ack.19:42
elopioI'm going to have lunch, and then back to finish that.19:42
balloonsdoug5, bonsoir mon ami19:58
balloonsLetozaf_, buonasera19:59
Letozaf_balloons, buonasera :D19:59
Letozaf_balloons, you are international you know all languages19:59
doug5balloons, bonsoir! :-)20:00
doug5balloons, so...what's next?20:00
doug5Letozaf_, ciao Carla :-)20:00
balloonsLetozaf_, I'm just laughing because doug5 was lamenting learning french.. I thought I would tease him a little20:00
doug5balloons, lol20:00
Letozaf_doug5, ciao Andrea :D20:01
balloonsdoug5, well I just asked for all of your tests to get pulled into the latest images, so reports.qa.ubuntu.com should turn green for calendar :-)20:01
doug5balloons, cool20:01
balloonsfingers crossed tomorrow or the next day they'll pull it20:01
balloonsas far as what's next, well, there's some other apps that look like they are having some issues20:02
balloonsI myself was looking at file manager, and elopio was looking at rssreader, and looking for you Letozaf_ :-)20:02
Letozaf_balloons, looking for me ?20:02
Letozaf_balloons, here I am, sorry I missed a couple of days >:P20:03
balloonsLetozaf_, lol, no worries! he was just wondering about the rss reader tests.. they were failing, but they found a bug in the app20:03
balloonsjust doing there job ;-)20:03
Letozaf_balloons, oh! I feel better now, I was wondering why they were failing20:04
Letozaf_balloons, by the way should I install autopilot 1.4 ? I am still running 1.320:04
Letozaf_balloons, or is it better to wait20:04
Letozaf_balloons, I see that to get autopilot 1.4 you need to get it from a PPA20:05
Letozaf_balloons, ppa:autopilot/experimental  isn't it ?20:06
balloonsLetozaf_, I still have 1.3 installed locally20:07
Letozaf_balloons, ok fine I was wondering what you guys where using20:07
Letozaf_balloons, have you got Trusty  ?20:07
balloonsyes, running trusty20:08
balloonsit's still 1.3 in the repo20:08
Letozaf_balloons, yes I saw it20:08
balloonsdoug5, as far as what's next, are you interested in doing something besides core apps tests?20:08
doug5balloons, yep sure20:09
balloonshttps://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/ContributingTestcases#Needed_autopilot_tests20:09
Letozaf_balloons, I suppose I will have to wait for the rssreade app bug to get fixed, so maybe I can do something else,meanwhile20:10
balloonsdoug5, Letozaf_ yes I was just looking at what still needs written20:10
balloonsit would be useful to give Dan a hand on the ubiquity tests for sure20:11
doug5balloons, I'll take a look at ubiquity, thx20:15
Noskcajballoons, feel free to point people to testdrive too, because my glade is broken, and dan, dustin and andres are all too busy to finish the gtk3 port20:15
doug5balloons, if there is something that comes out on the qml apps and you need help, just assign it to me20:16
balloonsdoug5, excellent thank you..20:16
balloonsdoug5, for the moment I don't think anything new is needed (at least not noted in a bug), but you can always debug and fix issues20:17
balloonsor hack on ubiquity :-)20:17
balloonsdan's post is a good intro: http://www.ubuntuhackers.com/ramping-up-automating-ubiquity/20:17
doug5balloons, one thing I could do is to improve clock-app test case on search location20:18
doug5balloons, and start with ubiquity, yes20:18
balloonsdoug5, basically we need additional image tests automated20:19
doug5balloons, makes sense :-)20:20
balloonsdoug5, everything you see here, if possible, we want to automate20:20
balloonshttp://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/305/builds/55927/testcases20:20
balloonsthis page is the wip project page for everything https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/AutomatedTesting/ubiquity20:20
balloonsyou can see our raw pad notes from a few weeks ago20:20
balloonswe discuss each of the tests we don't yet have automated tests for and what we think we can automate, etc20:21
doug5balloons, can I ask Dan if I have questions?20:22
balloonsdoug5, yes of course.. you can ask me questions as well.. but Dan is the guy to ask if he's around :-)20:24
doug5balloons, ok :-) I have to go, see you guys20:27
balloonsdoug5, see you.. thanks again!20:28
doug5balloons, np, it's fun working on these things :-)20:29
balloonsindeed.. a little addicting eh? you've got a good knack for writing them.. it's great20:29
Letozaf_balloons, I was reading about Ubiquity tests, can I use Trusty ISO's too ? or is it better to stick with Saucy ?21:03
balloonsLetozaf_, yes, go for it.. the iso shouldn't matter for test writing, but why not use trusty, as that's what we intend t test ;-)21:03
Letozaf_balloons, well yes you're right!21:04
Letozaf_balloons, nice it started running a test on Saucy (I'm still downloading Trusty) Dan did a great job! let's see what happens ...21:33
