Hi! To test this, I installed chromium-browser on a virtual machine with
checkbox 0.13.7. I configured it to be the default browser everywhere as
indicated in the test case. I then launched checkbox-qt, deselected all
tests, selected only the audio tests, and started the test run.
I ran through all the audio test cases, basically just clicking "yes" on
each one. When the run finished I clicked on "view report" button.
Firefox showed the report despite my earlier configuration :)
Since this is a test VM, I outright removed firefox, closed and
relaunched checkbox, and repeated the process. Chromium-browser doesn't
even launch because of an error on checkbox/user_interface.py, reads:
subprocess.Popen(sudo_prefix + [preferred_browser % url], shell=True)
should read:
subprocess.Popen(sudo_prefix + [preferred_browser, url], shell=True)
This line is a "fallback" when the browser is neither firefox (or
relatives) or epiphany. Chromium will hit the fallback which is
incorrect. So this basically uncovered an unrelated bug.
Then I installed checkbox 0.13.8 to see what the behavior is. I did the
same process as above. The browser still didn't open.
I did some digging and it turns out that, for instance, firefox returns
simply "firefox", but in this case chromium is returning "/usr/bin
/chromium-browser". Since the regular expression we use to set the
chromium-specific "quirk" does not specify the extra /usr/bin/
component:
browser = re.match("(chromium-browser[^\s]*)", preferred_browser)
This means that chromium again falls on the "fallback" which continues
to have a syntax error and does not start at all.
I guess if we found a way to get the preferred application function
we're using to return a relative binary name, things would work as
expected. But since it looks like that would require black magic, I have
to say that this fix does not work as expected (and indeed, the fix as
present in trunk is suspect and would bear some closer review), so I
will mark this bug as verification-failed.
