Version update in git master

Hi, I do mass version update in master from 4.6.X to 5.0.0 as it was agreed in branching discussion. To sum it here, we basically: 1. bump master to 5.0.0 to emphasize that SLE15 now uses version with 4.X.Y and TW/ALP uses 5.X.Y 2. SLE15 SP6 branch will be based on SLE15 SP5 maintenance branch 3. to avoid version collision if master use some changes and 4.6.X then SP6 branch will be bumped to 4.6.X+1 to avoid having same version for different code 4. as creating SP6 involve some manual steps it takes some time ( I will work on it ), so we will have period without proper SP6 maintenance branch. 5. changes already done to master that does not go to SP5 will be manually evaluated if it makes sense for SP6 Open Question is what to do with distro based versions we use for skelcd/system-role packages as I am not sure if next leap will be 15.6 or 16 and on what code stream it will be based, so I do not bump version there yet. Thanks Josef

LibYUI Questions
by Dmitriy Zakharov 14 Aug '23

14 Aug '23

Hello YaST Team, My name is Dmitriy Zakharov, I work as QA engineer for OpenText. Our team is looking for an existing framework/tools that will allow us to automate testing our yast modules. While researching we came across libyui test framework that you have developed. We'd like to thank you for the framework, the team really likes it since everything can be done via REST API. When working on proof-of-concept we were able to automate few tests when starting yast module(e.g. sudo Y2TEST=1 YUI_HTTP_PORT=9999 yast2 host). However, when we tried to start yast in main mode without specifying any module (e.g. sudo Y2TEST=1 YUI_HTTP_PORT=9999 yast2) we could not navigate menu. We are using select action but that doesn't seem to work. Please see screenshots below for more details. Screenshot 1 - our yast main menu yast started without module: sudo Y2TEST=1 YUI_HTTP_PORT=9999 yast2 and no action performed yet [cid:image001.png@01D9BEE4.7693A9F0] Screenshot 2 - view after POST with select action REST call to select "Configure Time/Date" in the left box: curl -X POST 'http://localhost:9999/v1/widgets?id=groups&action=select&value=Configure%20…' Note "Configure Time/Date" in the left box is kind of highlighted but right box still shows items for "Configure Networking" rather than for "Configure Time/Date". Calling GET returns "Configure Time/Date" label as selected. [cid:image002.png@01D9BEE4.7693A9F0] Questions we have are: 1. Is our REST call curl -X POST 'http://localhost:9999/v1/widgets?id=groups&action=select&value=Configure%20…' incorrect and that's why select doesn't work for main mode? 2. Does libyui-rest-api support starting yast without specific module? 3. If libyui-rest-api doesn't currently support starting yast in main mode, is there a plan to support it? Thank you, Dmitriy Zakharov
