| oSoMoN | is it a known issue that autopilot fails to issue special key codes? I’ve upgraded my xenial+overlay laptop to zesty, and suddenly all my autopilot tests that involve keyboard fail, like this: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/24139572/ | 15:54 |
|---|---|---|
| oSoMoN | that’s for 'Escape', but other key combinations like 'Ctrl+plus' or 'F6' fail similarly | 15:55 |
| oSoMoN | jibel, ever seen↑ before? | 16:00 |
| oSoMoN | also interesting is that the same tests fail in a xenial+overlay virtualbox VM (pretty sure they used to pass there too), so it looks like something on the host system that’s affecting not just the host but also guests | 16:02 |
| oSoMoN | replacing references to 'Escape' by 'Esc' in my autopilot tests seems to fix that case, and references to function keys such as 'F11' by 'f11', but 'ctrl+something' combinations don’t work | 16:38 |
| oSoMoN | could this be a regression introduced by the recent new autopilot upstream release? | 16:38 |
| jibel | rhuddie, ^ do you know? is it the new release? | 17:52 |
| rhuddie | oSoMoN, we haven't seen any problems like that. the key codes themselves are coming from python3-evdev package, so it could be a difference in that package that's causing the issue. I can take a look. | 18:34 |
| oSoMoN | rhuddie, I talked to Santiago, he says « we've updated autopilot to assume Mir if desktop was used so _uinput would be used for keyboard events » | 18:51 |
| oSoMoN | so it appears to be an autopilot regression | 18:51 |
| oSoMoN | which I can work around to some extent in my tests | 18:51 |
| oSoMoN | but it looks like Santiago is on to a fix already anyway | 18:52 |
| rhuddie | oSoMoN, ok thanks, I'll check with santiago | 19:20 |
