Title:
apport not blocking DBus no reply bug reports
Status in “apport” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in “apport” source package in Precise:
In Progress
Bug description:
As requested in bug 914220 apport should be blocking python crashes
that are due to clients not receiving a reply. This is working in
quantal and is tested by test_dbus_service_timeout_running in
test_python_crash.py. This test does not exist in precise but if you
port it to precise it will fail. Additionally, these crashes are
being reported on errors.ubuntu.com and taking up space in the top
crashers. For example see -
https://errors.ubuntu.com/bucket/?id=%2Fusr%2Fbin%2Fubuntuone-
installer%3ADBusException.
[Impact]
Precise users are being notified of crashes that are not useful to developers
and we don't want to receive. Receiving pop-up notifications for these crash
reports decreases the user experience when using precise.
[Test Case]
1) Download 'test_python_crashes.py' from this bug report
2) Execute 'python test_python_crashes.py' in a terminal.
3) Observe a test failure:
FAIL: test_dbus_service_timeout_running (__main__.T)
DBus.Error.NoReply with a running service
4) Install apport from precise-proposed
5) run the same test and observe the test passing:
Ran 7 tests in 28.111s
OK
[Regression Potential]
It is possible that apport would not generate crash reports for other types
of python crashes but based off the code change it is not likely.
