openSUSE:YaST development misc testPackageUI

The program deptestomatic.multi is from package libzypp-testsuite-tools, the UI test cases are included in libzypp-testsuite-tools-data.

Steps to do:

Install libzypp-testsuite-tools.rpm

Install libzypp-testsuite-tools-data.rpm

Call /usr/lib/zypp/testsuite/bin/deptestomatic.multi <test case>
test cases from:
/usr/share/zypp/testsuite/data/solver/data.deptestomatic/UI-tests

For further information about the libzypp testsuite tools see Libzypp testsuite solver.

The package UI will appear. If there are unresolved dependencies in the test case the dependency popup is shown immediately. Otherwise you are able to produce conflicts by selecting/deselecting packages/patches.

If you want to test the ncurses (textmode) UI, just unset the display first:

unset DISPLAY

To create a new test case call "Generate Dependency Solver Testcase" from the "Extras" menu of the Qt package selector (resp. "Dependencies" menu for ncurses UI). The tag <YOU/> or <PkgUI/> has to be added manually to the generated solver-test.xml file (from /var/log/YaST2/solverTestcase).

If you want to add the test case to the git repository of zypp check out libzypp-testsuite.git (how to get the sources see Libzypp development). Rename solver-test.xml to a meaningful name and copy all files created in /var/log/YaST2/solverTestcase to libzypp-testsuite/solver/data.deptestomatic/UI-tests.

Before check in to git add the new test case to the ignore file
