Description
This test case tests the functionality of the ABRT Python exception handler.
How to test
- Ensure the package is installed:
su -c 'yum install abrt-addon-python'
- Confirm in
/etc/abrt/plugins/Python.conf
that the Python addon is enabled. The conf file should contain this line: Enabled = Yes - Next, ensure that
/etc/abrt/abrt.conf
has at least one reporter defined for the Python addon. For example, Python = Logger, Mailx - Restart ABRT with the command
su -c 'service abrtd restart'
- Find a python
.py
file which is part of an official Fedora package. For example,/usr/share/doc/smolt-1.*/lite2my.py
which is provided by thesmolt
package. First, save a back-up of the file:su -c 'cp -a /usr/share/doc/smolt-1.*/lite2my.py /tmp/'
- Now, edit the file
/usr/share/doc/smolt-1.*/lite2my.py
to contain some invalid Python code. For example,- #!/usr/bin/python
- "11" + 11
- Next, execute the modified file using python. For example, in terminal type:
python /usr/share/doc/smolt-1.*/lite2my.py
- Revert the modified python file:
su -c 'cp -a /tmp/lite2my.py /usr/share/doc/smolt-1.*/lite2my.py'
Expected Results
- A python traceback should be generated at the command line:
- Traceback (most recent call last):
- File "/usr/share/doc/smolt-1.4.2.2/lite2my.py", line 2, in <module>
- print "11" + 11
- TypeError: cannot concatenate 'str' and 'int' objects
- ABRT should catch the traceback, and if you inspect the report via
abrt-gui
, the trace in report window should be the same as in the terminal where you executed the command - The ABRT plugin should not cause any unintended behaviour in python scripts when installed
