Edit config file ''/etc/abrt/abrt.conf'', where you should find lines:  
# Ensure the appropriate packages are installed with the command {{command|su -c 'yum install abrt-plugin-runapp abrt-plugin-mailx'}}
<pre>
# Edit the config file {{filename|/etc/abrt/abrt.conf}}, and change the ''ActionsAndReporters'' line to read:  
# list of actions and reporters which are activated immediately after a crash
#:<pre>
# occurs
#:ActionsAndReporters = RunApp("ls", "ls-output")
ActionsAndReporters =
#:</pre>
</pre>
# Set up an executable-specific report action in the ''AnalyzerActionsAndReporters'' section, such as:
 
#:<pre>
If you add here some reporter or action plugin, then it shout be run at crash time. So for example:
#: [ AnalyzerActionsAndReporters ]
<pre>ActionsAndReporters = RunApp("ls", "ls-output")</pre>
#: # all C/C++ crashes will be reported via Logger plugin
 
#: CCpp = Logger
Saves output from ''ls'' command to file called ''ls-output''. This file will be used in summary report. Try Reporter plugin Mailx(<subject>) or other.
#: # if gedit crashes, then an email will be send and Logger (from ''CCpp'' section) should be silent
 
#: CCpp:gedit = Mailx("[abrt] Gedit crashed")
Now let's go through second section. There is saved association among analyzers and actions and/or reporter plugins:
#:</pre>
<pre>
# Restart ABRT with the command {{command|su -c 'service abrtd restart'}}
[ AnalyzerActionsAndReporters ]
# Run the specified command (gedit in our example) and then kill it with the command {{command|kill -SIGSEGV (pid)}}
# all C/C++ crashes will be reported via Logger plugin
CCpp = Logger
# if bind crashes, then an email will be send and Logger (from ''CCpp'' section) should be silent
CCpp:bind = Mailx("[abrt] Bind crashed")
# all kernel crashers will be reporter via Logger
Kerneloops = KerneloopsReporter
</pre>
 
How to test this: try to change the analyzer - reporter association to something else and report some crash.
it should report somewhere else (Logger logs to /var/log/abrt-logger, Mailx sends email to the configured email address).

Description

This test case checks whether ABRT's actions and reporters function works correctly.


How to test

  1. Ensure the appropriate packages are installed with the command su -c 'yum install abrt-plugin-runapp abrt-plugin-mailx'
  2. Edit the config file /etc/abrt/abrt.conf, and change the ActionsAndReporters line to read: 
    

    ActionsAndReporters = RunApp("ls", "ls-output")
    

    3. 

  3. Set up an executable-specific report action in the AnalyzerActionsAndReporters section, such as:

    

    [ AnalyzerActionsAndReporters ]
    

    # all C/C++ crashes will be reported via Logger plugin
    

    CCpp = Logger
    

    # if gedit crashes, then an email will be send and Logger (from ''CCpp'' section) should be silent
    

    CCpp:gedit = Mailx("[abrt] Gedit crashed")
    

    4. 

  4. Restart ABRT with the command su -c 'service abrtd restart'
    5. 

  5. Run the specified command (gedit in our example) and then kill it with the command kill -SIGSEGV (pid)


Expected Results


  1. Verify that a directory listing appears in the file ls-output FIXME: Where should this file be?
    2. 

  2. Verify that the Mailx plugin was used to send a mail about the crash
