Description
This test case tests the functionality of the ABRT feature using the Mailx plugin.
How to test
- Edit /etc/abrt/abrt.conf to enable and activate the Mailx plugin. A sample config is noted below
# common abrt settings [ Common ] # enabled plugins # there has to be exactly one database plugin EnabledPlugins = Mailx, SQLite3, CCpp, Logger, Kerneloops, KerneloopsScanner, KerneloopsReporter, Bugzilla, Python # reporters association with analyzers [ AnalyzerActionsAndReporters ] CCpp = Mailx, Bugzilla, Logger Python = Mailx, Bugzilla, Logger
- Edit /etc/abrt/plugins/Mailx.conf and make sure the configuration is valid. The default configuration:
# Configuration to Email reporter plugin # Parameters Parameters = # Your Email EmailFrom = user@localhost # Email To EmailTo = root@localhost # Warning! enabling this may cause sending a lot of MB via email SendBinaryData = no
should work. Only change the EmailTo address to a public address that would require forwarding through a real SMTP server if you have the 'mailx' configuration set so that such mails are correctly handled.
Restart ABRT:
# service abrt restart
And final steps are:
- Ensure that the abrt and abrt-applet processes are both running
- Kill a running process: kill -SIGSEGV (pid). It must be a process that is part of a signed Fedora package
- Click on the panel applet to start abrt-gui
- Select the entry matching the recently crashed application, select Generate
- At the report window, click Apply
Expected Results
- A mail reporting the crash should be sent to the email address specified in /etc/abrt/plugins/Mailx.conf. If you left this set to root@localhost, you should be able to see the mail in the file /var/spool/mail/root in a default Fedora setup or via command mail.
