Pardus GNOME Project + dogtail = ?
Will dogtail run 100% successfully on Pardus Gnome ?
After viewing the videos of dogtail this called for a test drive. On Pardus: so far dogtail’s framework can be used, but the GUI test features do not work right from the start :-(
1. Unfortunately Pardus seems not yet included as target platform:
- import distro
- File “/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/dogtail/distro.py”, line 320, in distro = detectDistro()
- File “/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/dogtail/distro.py”, line 316, in detectDistro raise DistributionNotSupportedError(”Unknown”)
- DistributionNotSupportedError: unprintable DistributionNotSupportedError object>
2. The other problem was that the same user could not log into Gnome anymore when assistive technologies (in Gnome/Pardus) was activated. Using at-spi version 1.24.0 helped here.
Below you see the script recorder which recorded as Python code the start of Pardus’ package manager:
It would be great if an OS which is based mostly on Python can integrate more Python testing tools right from the start. Let’s see if there is some further progress with at-spi and kde. Worth a look: for KDE testing tools, more testing tools in python.
Thanks again Zack Cerza for your help in #dogtail,
Erkan
