Hi all, some time ago we discussed where and how we should share "Tips&Tricks" for YaST users and developers. IIRC there was no clear conclusion so I decided to start a wiki [1] to collect all our tricks we know or use. For now it's just a place for dumping your ideas, links, short howtos, etc... When we collect enough data we can probably split it to several categories or move it somewhere else. We just need the data first. I have added there some my tricks from my personal "knowledgebase" file. If you have better tricks or find something wrong simply change it, it's a wiki ;-) Ladislav [1] https://github.com/yast/yast.github.io/wiki/YaST-Tips-and-Tricks -- Ladislav Slezák YaST Developer SUSE LINUX, s.r.o.

[yast-devel] Innovation time: A repository with AutoYaST XML profiles (PoC )

by Ladislav Slezak

Hi all! I'm implementing some new AutoYaST feature and I found out that it's not easy to test the AutoYaST functionality. 1. Even for testing a trivial scenario you have to write your own XML file. If you do not have much experience with AutoYaST you have to read the documentation, search the internet, etc... Cloning your current system helps a bit but usually the cloned profile contains too many options so you still need to polish it a bit... 2. When you have your profile ready you have to host it at some HTTP/FTP/NFS/... server so AutoYaST can use it for installation. I usually run simple "ruby -run -ehttpd" command to have a web server quickly, but that's quite tricky for people not familiar with Ruby. My idea is to have some repository with example XML profiles which would be publicly available and ready for instant use. We already have some XML files in the autoyast-profiles-test Git repository but writing something like autoyast=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/yast/autoyast-profiles-test/mast… on boot command line is a real pain. We could use some URL shortening service but I do not like that much. Shortened URLs do not look nice and it's not obvious where they point to (security). I'd like to have some nice URLs... So my proposal is to use the GitHub pages for building an AutoYaST profile repository. Then you could use autoyast=https://autoyast.github.io/mini/sles15.xml or autoyast=https://autoyast.github.io/mini/leap15.xml for testing a minimal SLES/Leap profile. Actually these URLs already work! :-) You can give it a try. Most likely you will need additional "netsetup=dhcp" boot option for configuring network. The profiles would be well described (what they do) and well commented (so the users can easily adapt them to their needs). The profiles could be automatically validated (via Travis) and it would be nice to use them also in openQA tests to be sure they really work. We could also link this repository from the official SUSE documentation. The proof of concept is available at https://autoyast.github.io, please check it. It is still just a concept for getting early feedback, there is a lot of work to do. See the README file in https://github.com/autoyast/autoyast.github.io What do you think about it? -- Ladislav Slezák YaST Developer SUSE LINUX, s.r.o.

[yast-devel] Reminder: verify_partial_doubles is not default

by Josef Reidinger

Hi, again I hit by thinking that verify_partial_doubles is now default in rspec3. It is not and will be in rspec4. So what it means? rspec does not check if mocked methods exists at all and it can result in many not so funny errors in test suite. I am just faced it in network, so I create non trivial commit[1] that enables it there. It includes also how to avoid failures on mocked class[2] which avoided build dependencies. From list of errors it can check is typos[3], mocking of wrong class[4] and mocking non-existing methods[5]. So feel free to take it as inspiration and enable it also in your test helper.

[yast-devel] Very late updates for yast2-trans

by José Iván López González

Hi all, Recently, a bug report [1] was filed because translation updates are taken quite long to reach the product. It seems that it took almost 1 year and 4 months to get an updated yast2-trans package into Leap 15.2. Do you know the source of the problem? Could we do anything to improve it? Thanks!

[yast-devel] ruby2.7 issue with $LOAD_PATHS

by José Iván López González

Hi all, Most likely you already know about our crazy bug in the Tumbleweed installer that was reported some weeks ago [1]. Basically, the problem was raised because a same ruby file was "loaded" twice after requiring it for second time. Obviously this should not happen because Kernel#require method prevents that [2]. As the documentation states: "The absolute path of the loaded file is added to $LOADED_FEATURES. A file will not be loaded again if its path already appears in $LOADED_FEATURES". So, why is a file loaded twice in YaST? TL;DR: because ruby2.7 has a bug when requiring files from symlinks. In general, ruby expands the absolute path of a loaded file by following the symlink, so the $LOAD_FEATURES would contain the path of the real file instead of the symlink path. For example: # There is a symlink like # # /usr/share/foo --> /mnt/foo $LOAD_PATH.append("/usr/share/foo/lib") require "foobar" $LOADED_FEATURES.grep(/foobar/) # => "/mnt/foo/lib/foobar.rb" But there is a corner case in ruby2.7. Ruby tracks the file by using the symlink path when: * a new directory is added to the beginning of $LOAD_PATH and * any parent of the added directory is a symbolic link. # There is a symlink like # # /usr/share/foo --> /mnt/foo $LOAD_PATH.append("/usr/share/foo/lib") require "foobar" $LOADED_FEATURES.grep(/foobar/) # => "/mnt/foo/lib/foobar.rb" But: $LOAD_PATH.prepend("/usr/share/foo/lib") require "foobar" $LOADED_FEATURES.grep(/foobar/) # => "/usr/share/foo/lib/foobar.rb" Note the difference of the $LOADED_FEATURES when the path is added at the beginning of the list and at the end. And also note that this does not happen when the new added load path is a symlink itself: # There is a symlink like # # /usr/share/foo/lib --> /mnt/foo/lib $LOAD_PATH.append("/usr/share/foo/lib") require "foobar" $LOADED_FEATURES.grep(/foobar/) # => "/mnt/foo/lib/foobar.rb" And: $LOAD_PATH.prepend("/usr/share/foo/lib") require "foobar" $LOADED_FEATURES.grep(/foobar/) # => "/mnt/foo/lib/foobar.rb" All this is very unexpected, and only happens in ruby2.7. This weird behavior was making YaST to fail, see [3] for more details. I have prepared an script to automatically reproduce this issue (see the attached file). You can use it to see the difference with ruby2.7 and previous versions. Do you think this is actually a bug in ruby2.7? Or am I doing something wrong? Should we report a bug? For the time being, we have found a workaround to avoid the failure in YaST side.

[yast-devel] Partitioner UI: next round

by Ancor Gonzalez Sosa

I have documented the outcome of our recent meeting to come up with a new concept for the UI of the Partitioner. See the result here: https://github.com/yast/yast-storage-ng/blob/master/doc/partitioner_ui.md#a… We will use that as a base for upcoming tasks in our development sprints, but feel free to also use it as a base to bring new ideas we may have overlooked during the meeting.
