Re: UI tests opening all possible dialogs

Hi Raal & Markus

I've moved the tests into a new folder and skipped tests that are already done in other tests. The lines have comments explaining why specific tests are skipped. https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/74333/

If you thing testing the "Cancel" button does not make sense, we can skip even more tests.

Please review and see if that makes sense to you.

Greetings Artur

Hello Artur,
generally it looks useful, but please check first if such test exists. For example bug 120227 is already covered by this test https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/sc/qa/uitest/pageFormat/tdf123508.py .
Please search first at opengrok, because uitests are quite slow and we should avoid duplicity. For example from your test
SearchDialog  - lots of tests exists in directory /core/sc/qa/uitest/search_replace/
InsertObjectChart - lots of tests exists in directory  /core/sc/qa/uitest/chart/
FunctionDialog - https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/sc/qa/uitest/calc_tests7/tdf123479.py
etc.

Please add your test to the new directory, see https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/72376/ like an example
Note: the tests runs in "gen" enviroment, so gtk3 bugs we cannot test (125982, 125985)

Best regards,
Raal

I've made some UI tests that open every dialog in calc, close it with the "close" or "cancel" button and if there is an "OK" button open it again and click the "OK" button

These tests should simply make sure there are no crashes by opening/closing the dialogues and protect against regressions like
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=120227
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=125982
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=125985

I just wanted to have some feedback if picking those low-hanging fruits is a valid approach and worth the effort and CI time.

I think that in general it is a good idea. Depending on how long it takes to execute the test we might need to think about whether we can actually include the tests in a normal make/make check or if they need to be treated differently. Did you already have a chat with Raal who has been writing tests for many bugs/dialogs already?

If yes I could extend the tests by:

1. doing the same for writer, impress, etc.
2. delete obsolete tests like uitest/calc_tests/about_test.py
   
3. define preconditions for the "OK" click, e.g. input data into fields
4. define assertion after the click on the "OK" button

In general this sounds like a good idea. As mentioned it might be good to have a chat with Raal who might have an overview how far we are in opening all dialogs already.

Regards,

Markus
