Description
This test case is intended to introduce a failure, and validate that anaconda is able to enter a debug mode to retrieve detailed crash information
How to test
- Boot the installer by any available means
- If you know how to make Anaconda crash, you can do so. Otherwise use Anaconda's fake exception handling trigger - run the following command:
kill -USR1 `cat /var/run/anaconda.pid`
Switch back to the GUI, an error dialog should be displayed. - Enter a debug mode using the failure dialog
- Execute some commands in the debug mode, e.g.:
(Pdb) locals()
- Use continue to return back to the failure dialog:
(Pdb) continue
Expected Results
- The installer presents a failure dialog and offers an option to enter the debug mode
- You are switched to a debug shell
- Commands are executed successfully in debug shell
- continue returns you back to the failure dialog
