pieqSalut les desktoppers !06:09
didrockshey pieq !06:10
pieqThe other day I was discussing with a colleague about automating "UI testing", that is, trying to replicate the same commands as the ones generated by GNOME when the user clicks on something.06:10
pieqTypical use case: when a user goes into the Display Settings, (s)he can choose the screen orientation, then validate the choice and see the effect appearing.06:11
pieqWhen user clicks "Apply", *something* happens that trigger the screen rotation.06:12
pieqCan I simply replicate this with a dbus call to the right gsettings?06:12
pieqIn that case, I ask cause we used to test screen rotation by calling low level stuff (xrandr if I recall), and in some instances that would work, but actually going into the display settings would not06:13
oSoMoNsalut pieq 06:22
oSoMoNinvoking "gsettings set …" to change the value of the relevant key should be enough, no need for D-Bus there06:27
pieqoSoMoN, OK, in this case gsettings might just be enough, indeed :) I'll try to think of other use cases06:45

dufluHi marcustomlinson and pieq 06:51
* duflu wonders why intel_gpu_top reports an idle machine (via ssh) is constantly reading 2GB/s07:11
oSoMoNhey marcustomlinson 07:25
oSoMoNpieq, there might be some settings that do require D-Bus calls or invoking external binaries, you'll need to look at the gnome-control-center code to find out what to do for each setting07:26
oSoMoNand if in doubt ask Robert Ancell, he's our resident expert on g-c-c07:28
pieqoSoMoN, ok, thanks a lot, I'll bother him if needed.07:31
