Description
This test case will show if modularity is enabled in Fedora and that the system provides basic information about the available modules.
Setup
- Install any of the Fedora spins, for example Workstation or Server.
- Log onto the system.
- Run a terminal application, such as gnome-terminal. The following test will use dnf to work with the modules.
Note: For the time's being, users can work with modules using dnf. In the future, other package managers will be able to deal with it. Until then, do not attempt to test this approach using tools other than dnf.
How to test
- Check that dnf provides you with a list of all modules available to the system:
To do so, executednf module list
. You can also use the--all
option, the results should be the same. - Check that dnf provides you with a list of modules that have been enabled on the system.
Executednf module list --enabled
to get the list. - Check that dnf provides you with a list of modules that have been disabled on the system.
Executednf module list --disabled
to get the list. - Check that dnf provides you with a list of modules that are installed on the system.
Executednf module list --installed
to get the list.
Expected Results
- Modularity and modular repositories should be enabled by default. If you need to do it manually for the above commands to work, please report a bug, and consider the test a soft-fail.
- All above commands must run without any errors and they should provide the needed info. If they throw any error, report a bug, and the test is a fail.
dnf module list (--all)
lists all modules and provides details, such as stream, version and profile.dnf module list --enabled
lists all enabled modules. The result can be an empty list, if there are no enabled modules.dnf module list --disabled
lists all disabled modules. The result can be an empty list, if there are no disabled modules.dnf module list --installed
lists all installed modules. The result can be an empty list, if there are no installed modules.
Optional
Optionally provide hints for exploratory testing. If modularity and modular repos are not available by default, enable them by running the following command:
dnf install fedora-repos-modular fedora-repos-rawhide-modular
