Hudson X11 Automated Testing - To run GUI automated test in Hudson environment. Ara Pulido, demonstrated me, how to setup Hudson and to run some Mago test. The tests were failing, as the ldtp daemon failed to load. When I started poking, I found, the tests can run only in console mode. We need to start a X session, then need to start the test. Even, after this, the tests were failing. Setting DISPLAY doesn't help ! Accessing accessibility service from terminal failed, as AT_SPI_IOR not set from the terminal.
To overcome, this issue, implemented a service and a client, the service runs during the gnome-session startup.
The service (UNIX socket) listens for commands from client, once received execute them in the shell and returns back both stdout and stderr. Just one command per request, not to make things complicated ;-)
During the test, X session will be started with Xvfb, need to evaluate X dummy driver instead. Accessibility, should be enabled and gnome screen saver, should be disabled, before starting the test. Requirement for LDTP tests.
More about this, available here (documented by Ara) and here, also FAQ
Note: Currently tested with GNOME Desktop on Ubuntu Linux using Mago and LDTP from GIT head
Special thanks to Ara Pulido (Ubuntu), Brian Nitz (Sun / Oracle) and Tyller Ballance (Hudson team)

Announce: Linux Desktop Testing Project (LDTP) 2.0.1 released
Hello all,
LDTPv2 a complete rewrite of LDTPv1 in Python. This release is dedicated to Eitan Isaacson[1]. Eitan wrote the LDTPv2 framework and important API's in LDTPv2 !
My co-workers in VMware Ranjith Murugan, Gaurav Sharma and Anupa Kamath, did a wonderful job in verifying the compatibility of LDTPv1 and v2. Special thanks to them and my manager Greg McShea on supporting this effort.
Special thanks to Ara Pulido[2] for tracking the LDTPv2 status and pushing us to make the release at the earliest, as Ara wants to include LDTPv2 in Ubuntu Lucid, before feature freeze.
Following are the difference between LDTPv1 and v2:
* getlabel function is deprecated - you can use getobjectproperty('winodw', 'objectname', 'label') # To verify the display text
* Label in v2 doesn't return the accelerator key (eg: in v1 "_Find" will be returned on v2 just "Find" is returned)
* Strict data types are checked, in v1 most of the inputs are considered as string, if not they will be converted to string, but on v2 exception will be
thrown, if incorrect type is passed to any function * In v1 we have ldtp binary, on v2 we need to check ldtpd.sh for now, this doesn't return the version for now, it has to be implemented, if you check for "ldtp --version" in v1
* In v1 each action command was given 1 second sleep time internally before execution, but on v2 there is no delay unless its set in environment variable LDTP_COMMAND_DELAY. So, the script has to use appropriate wait time
* As Javier (from Ubuntu QA team) found, launchapp, argument name changed from 'arg' to 'args'
Some of missing API in v2:
* Calendar object
* logFailures in v1 is not implemented in v2
* LDTP logging methods
* appundertest
* launchapp2
* blackoutregion
* label object
* panel object
* ProcessStatistics
LTFX is completely removed in LDTP v2 in favor of wnck implmentation
Download LDTPv2 source from http://download.freedesktop.org/ldtp/2.x/2.0.x/ldtp2-2.0.1.tar.gz
New dependency:
python-twisted-web
python-pyatspi
python-gtk
python-gnome
Will schedule binary package building for different Linux distribution using openSUSE Build Service - http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/anagappan:/ldtp2:/
