Description

This test case checks whether sosreport cooperates with ABRT correctly.

Ensure the sos package is installed with the command su -c 'yum install sos'
sosreport is disabled by default, enable it by editing the config file /etc/abrt/abrt_event.conf, and commenting out line EVENT= relevant to sosreport, so you have
EVENT=post-create

nice sosreport --tmp-dir "$DUMP_DIR" --batch \

[...]
Restart the abrtd service: su -c 'systemctl restart abrtd.service'
Crash a running application, with the command pkill -SIGSEGV (appname)
Wait for a crash notification to appear: it might take some time (~20 s) before the icon appears, as it waits for sosreport to finish

Verify that the file sosreport.tar.xz exists in directory /var/spool/abrt/<the_crash_directory> and has some reasonable content
The tarball should contain config files from /etc, grub.conf, some info from /proc, loaded modules, and much more
