Vasudevan, there is a basic nautilus testcase (very basic!) that is now
in the production branch. Can't wait to see you expand it to test more :-)
Vasudevan, sounds like you want to use a tool called testdrive:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UsingDevelopmentReleases
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JGZF6UHhl4I
Your workflow is exactly what happens in the canonical QA lab everyday.
The autopilot tests we're writing will be a part of that. So for your
testing however, you don't need to install from an image everyday
(unless you want to test installation, in which case use testdrive above
to help!). So setup your vm and simply update on a regular basis, just
like your stable version of ubuntu. Your installation will track the
development release. You can then use it to develop autopilot testcases
or do manual testing.
Does that help / make sense?

Hi Nicholas, Dan,
I am working on the nautilus script and was hoping to make some
progress by now but running into many issues(sorry, could not work
during the long weekend).
I had downloaded a daily build image for saucy-desktop-amd64.iso on
05/23 and tried to create a guest image using the following command:
(host is running 12.10 desktop)
virt-install --connect qemu:///system --virt-type kvm --name
saucy-alpha-vm --ram 4096 --disk
path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/saucy-desktop-vm,size=30 --graphics vnc
--location /home/vkottilil/Downloads/saucy-desktop-amd64.iso and it
throws an error
Starting install...
ERROR Could not find an installable distribution at
'/home/vkottilil/Downloads/saucy-desktop-amd64.iso'
The location must be the root directory of an install tree.
Domain installation does not appear to have been successful.
If it was, you can restart your domain by running:
virsh --connect qemu:///system start saucy-alpha-vm
otherwise, please restart your installation.
What causes this error?
After this, I burned the iso to dvd and from that location it was able
to create a vm using the same tool with option --cdrom /dev/sr0
instead of --location.
After launching guest, I am unable to see anything typed out in the
vm's terminal - tried changing the profile settings with different
color etc and still does not work.
I can ssh from the host to the vm. Is it possible to run autopliot on
the vm from ssh terminal - are there any x server/display options?
I have heard of a totally different workflow this team is using to
test the daily image using testdrive - any pointers to that would be
great. Ideally it would be great if we can run a predictable set of
steps similar to
wget latestgood
create vm
spin it up
install autopilot
copy test scripts
run tests
tear down
Thanks,
Vasudevan Kottilil

Hi everyone,
just thought i would give a quick update on the status of porting
the autopilot test cases since the last hackfest (check out the
notes http://pad.ubuntu.com/CFXkuLR7Lb) and what is working/needs
reviewing and testing.
*Firefox: *nskaggs completed this and is now merged to the
production branch. The test was converted to using the
ProcessManager class as introspecting firefox was not possible.
*
Evince: *has been ported to 1.3 using introspection, the test is
working good and has been proposed for merge. Currently it could
still do with the open and print dialogs being introspected, as it
is still currently using keyboard shortcuts to navigate. Also i
think this test case could be further expanded as it still misses
some features that can be introspected
Currently it tests
* Display pdf
* Enter & Exit fullscreen
* Show & Hide sidebar
* Rotate document
Maybe we could add tests for zoom, bookmark and presentation
features? Whats your thoughts?
*File-Roller: *ported to 1.3 using introspection and has been
proposed for merge. It is currently using the archive created in
the first test across all the tests. So the tests are unable to be
called and run independently from each other. Could do with
modifying to make each test self contained.
I could not find a sane way to select/choose an archive format so
currently it works with whatever your default archive is and
collects the name of the archive from the window title so can be
deleted successfully.
Anyone have any ideas on accessing the items in a GtkComboBoxText
control and getting the selected item?
*Gedit: *Letozaf has been working on this and has proposed a merge.
*Nautilus: *Has been ported to 1.3 but unable to introspect due to
autopilot module not loading, So currently using the
ProcessManager. This test is still very basic in that it just
creates and deletes a directory. As this is probably the most used
application on ubuntu it should probably have an extensive test to
match the current manual-test-case as much as possible.
*Shotwell: *Still to be ported to autopilot 1.3
*Totem: *nskaggs is working on this.... I think??
*Screenshot:*when running autopilot launch gnome-screenshot it
automatically takes a screenshot of the whole screen and loads on
to the save screenshot window. This is the same when just running
gnome-screenshot in the terminal. Is this a bug i couldnt find a
bug like this. Or is this the default behaviour when launching it
from terminal?
Also the same when lauching the application with
launch_test_application()
screenshot can be introspected but cannot get into the main window
to test taking different shots. This needs looking into further.
*Terminal:*ported to 1.3 using ProcessManager, it would be great
to be able to introspect terminal in the near future, get some
more assertions in there then, and remove alot of the keyboard
calls. :) Like navigating the preferences dialog etc.
It would be great if people could test the current Production and
Proposed tests to get feedback. So if anyone has the time please
fell free to test them.
Regards
Dan Chapman
