Hi,
I have prepared a couple of scripts to perform automated testing of
applications and services in the installed system. We use it for ROSA
Fresh, but they may be useful for OpenMandriva as well.
The scripts are available here:
https://abf.rosalinux.ru/spectre/rosa-autotest/tree/master/check_apps
namely the following two could be useful:
- check_apps.py
- check_services.py
The rest are more ROSA-specific and are not generally required.
Both check_apps.py and check_services.py take the file with the list of
packages to be checked as an argument.
1. check_apps.py.
For each package to be checked, the script installs it, finds .desktop
files in it corresponding to the applications. Then it runs each of
these applications, waits a little and looks if they crash. Crash dumps,
logs and other info are saved.
The idea was that "an ordinary user" mostly runs apps from the GUI (via
their .desktop files), so such apps should be checked first.
The lists of the packages are prepared separately. Here are the examples
we use in ROSA at the moment:
https://abf.rosalinux.ru/spectre/rosa-autotest/blob/master/check_apps/lists/applications/KDE/packages-kde.list
https://abf.rosalinux.ru/spectre/rosa-autotest/blob/master/check_apps/lists/applications/GNOME/packages-gnome.list
The packages are mostly from main, non-free and restricted repos. The
lists for OpenMandriva might be different, of course.
2. check_services.py.
Similar to checking the applications but for systemd services this time.
The script tries to start each service from the given packages and
reports if that fails.
The needed preprequisites and other useful information are in Readme.txt:
https://abf.rosalinux.ru/spectre/rosa-autotest/blob/master/check_apps/Readme.txt
These scripts are not perfect but, I think, they could be useful.
Regards,
Eugene
