What to test?[edit]

Today's installment of Fedora Test Day will focus on Retrace Server and Automated Bug Reporting Tool (ABRT).

Who's available[edit]

The following cast of characters will be available testing, workarounds, bug fixes, and general discussion ...

Development - Jiří Moskovčák (jmoskovc), Nikola Pajkovsky (npajkovs), Denys Vlasenko (dvlasenk), Karel Klíč (kklic), Michal Toman (mtoman)
Quality Assurance - Michal Nowak (mnowak)

Prerequisite for Test Day[edit]

You will need either fully updated Fedora 15 system or a LiveCD image (download desktop spin).

If your system doesn't boot
There is currently some problem with SELinux that prevents system from booting on fully updated Fedora 15 installation. If that happens to you, add enforcing=0 on kernel boot line in GRUB and the system should boot fine.

How to test?[edit]

Prior to test:

Fully update ABRT packages (even when running from LiveCD):

# yum update 'abrt*' --enablerepo=updates-testing

Make sure abrtd and abrt-ccpp services are running:

# service abrtd start
Starting abrtd (via systemctl):                            [  OK  ]
# service abrt-ccpp start
Starting abrt-ccpp (via systemctl):                        [  OK  ]

File /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern contains following output:

# cat /proc/sys/kernel/core_pattern
|/usr/libexec/abrt-hook-ccpp /var/spool/abrt %s %c %p %u %g %t %h %e 636f726500

Please follow each of following ABRT test cases and sum up the results in the table below:

QA:Testcase ABRT CCPP addon - C/C++ tracebacks
QA:Testcase ABRT python - python tracebacks
QA:Testcase ABRT kernel - kernel oops
QA:TestCase ABRT BlackList - package blacklist
QA:Testcase ABRT quota - limiting the space occupied by ABRT's cache
QA:Testcase ABRT Bugzilla - Bugzilla plugin
QA:Testcase ABRT Logger - Logger plugin
QA:Testcase ABRT Mailx - Mailx plugin
QA:Testcase ABRT SOSreport plugin - sosreport integration with ABRT
QA:Testcase ABRT GUI MAIN - testing the GUI (probably already during the previous steps, so just to sum it up)
QA:Testcase ABRT CLI - CLI interface
QA:Testcase ABRT GUI Localized - exploring localized GUI
QA:Testcase ABRT CLI Localized - exploring localized CLI
QA:Testcase Retrace Server CLI - Retrace Server CLI
QA:Testcase Retrace Server GUI - Retrace Server in ABRT GUI
QA:Testcase ABRT third party event extension - event configuration

Close all fake bugs you create!
During certain test cases you will be required to simulate application crashes and report these crashes into Bugzilla. It is very important that after every such fake report you open the link provided by ABRT and close that bug as NOTABUG with comment like "ABRT testing bug". Otherwise you would overload package developers with fake bug reports. Thank you.

Report SELinux denials against ABRT
If you encounter some SELinux (AVC) denials during testing, please report them against the abrt package, not selinux package. Thanks.

Test Results[edit]

If you have suggestions about UI, send them via email to developers and/or create a bug report.

Please report all bugs into Bugzilla against the abrt component and Fedora 15 release.

↑ Got message: Need writable directory, but '/var/spool/abrt/ccpp-2011-03-31-11:52:18-1939' is not writable. Move it to '/home/yarda/.abrt/spool' and operate on the moved copy?

[1] Test pass, but also encountered RHBZ #54321

[2] RHBZ #12345

[5] There is no "Open ABRT" button, only "Show".

[7] There was no notification after the /var/log/messages modification.

[10] There is no "Edit->Plugins", probably "Edit->Event configuration" was meant and it worked as expected.

[12] In this test case several instructions are misplaced to "Expected results".

[14] A lot of messages are not localized to cs_CZ, e.g. "is not writable", "Choose option", "Analyzing coredump" and much much more.

[15] It is not clear from the testcase where "batch" command stores downloaded data.

[16] RHBZ #692428 - Report button in warning inside KDE info area does not work

[17] RHBZ #692433 - Cannot connect to Gnome keyring daemon dialog becomes annoying

[18] Event settings for kernel opps is located in /etc/abrt/events.d/koops_events.conf

[19] rt-dump-opps log scanner has parameters -drwx (not -drw)

[20] [1]

[21] RHBZ #692574 - Not possible to report to bugzilla without gnome keyring

[22] By default on Live CD there is this action: abrt-action-print -o "${Log_File:-/tmp/abrt.log}" -a "${Append:-no}"

[23] Again because of missing gnome keyring, it is not possible to alter event config in gui.

[24] RHBZ #692803 - Bad integration with KDE - without gnome-keyring - see above

[25] Works, but after reporting using logger and/or Mailx, crash is not marked as reported. Same for GUI. Is it intended?

[27] Again some messages not translated

[28] RHBZ #692802 - Missing debuginfo for fedora15/sleep crash on abrt retrace server

[29] Same experience as jskarvad

[30] RHBZ #692442 - Hi res image for "bug-reporting-window" and task switcher

[31] RHBZ #692444 - "bug-reporting-window" should be shown as "part of the application"

[32] rt_event.conf does not contain the events mentioned in test case

[33] rt.conf contains -drwx instead of -drw

[34] RHBZ #692465 - Blacklist doesn't work

[35] RHBZ #692474 - Exceeded quota is not reported

[37] I have not /var/cache/abrt directory on my system. Even if I create one, nothing appears in there.

[38] RHBZ #692516 - The ABRT icon is almost invisible in panel

[39] #185 Not very sane error message: '11' does not exist

[40] #186 Problem notification from abrt won't pop-up in gnome-shell

[41] #187 exit code == 0 on "abrt-dump-oops: 1 errors while dumping oopses"

[42] #188 Option -d should be documented as a root-only, or made to work for user

[43] RHBZ #692465 - Blacklist doesn't work

[45] #193 abrt-cli -l should not show reported cases

[46] Not everything was translated, not sure it's abrt problem or that it's just not translated.

[47] Not everything was translated, not sure it's abrt problem or that it's just not translated.

[48] #189 abrtd should reload configuration when some of it's config files changes

[49] #192 @@LOCALSTATEDIR@@ should be populated by automake

[50] Same problema as jskarvad

[51] Unable to catch in abrt the python error

[52] It doesn't seem working

[53] Same as previous RHBZ #692474

[54] t retrieve debug-info from repo as in RHBZ #681281

[55] RHBZ #692549 RHBZ #692554 RHBZ #692557 real bugs

[56] ts of PENDING notices, retreated to local gdb

[57] Got message: Need writable directory, but /var/spool/abrt/ccpp-...10080/ is not writable

[59] Empty login or password, please check /etc/abrt/plugins/Bugzilla.conf.. But there is both set, but not in abrt-gui.

[60] I still see strace's report when killing "strace sleep 5m".

[61] I see no notification about quota (maybe I cannot run applet).

[62] I cannot log in using manual edit of /etc/abrt/plugins/Bugzilla.conf, but it works using editting in abrt-gui.

[63] There is no "/var/cache/abrt/" at all.

[64] I see no siren logo in F15 - maybe not ABRT issue.

[3] Got message: Need writable directory, but '/var/spool/abrt/ccpp-2011-03-31-11:52:18-1939' is not writable. Move it to '/home/yarda/.abrt/spool' and operate on the moved copy?

[8] Passed, but the UI is ugly and confusing, e.g. I would like to be able to enter the bugzilla credentials (or create new account) after clicking the last confirmation button.

[9] Instructions about configuration of the abrt_event.conf and mailx plugin (Mailx.conf file needs to be created because it doesn't exist) are incomplete.
