LibYUI Questions

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

yast2 apparmor / aa-logprof behaviour on startup errors
by Christian Boltz 30 Jul '23

30 Jul '23

Hello, Short version: Can someone please check the YaST2 AppArmor module if something needs to be changed for the aa-logprof and aa-genprof change described below? Long version: I'm currently working on a little feature in aa-logprof and aa-genprof to enable logging of all json input and output, which might make debugging a bit easier, and might also make it possible to easily create tests for a complete aa-logprof run. (YaST will be helpful to create these tests, since it's currently the only json client for aa-logprof.) The json format itsself will not change, however I'll have to switch to json mode a bit later. You'll only notice this if there's an error on startup, for example a broken config file or missing apparmor_parser. Now: # aa-logprof --json {"dialog": "apparmor-json-version","data": "2.12"} ERROR: Can't find apparmor_parser at /sbin/apparmor_parser After the change: # python3 aa-logprof --json ERROR: Can't find apparmor_parser at /sbin/apparmor_parser Note that the {"dialog": ... } line no longer gets printed if aa- logprof or aa-genprof error out on startup. For completeness: ERROR: gets printed on stderr, and $? = 1. Again: If there is no error on startup, nothing will change. Is this change a problem for the YaST AppArmor module? (I'd offer to update the json version, but since it no longer gets printed on startup errors, I'm not sure if that's too helpful ;-) So far, this change only exists as a MR: https://gitlab.com/apparmor/apparmor/-/merge_requests/1078 It will probably be included in AppArmor 4.0 (to be released in some months).

Driver Update Disk (DUD) documentation, VirtualBox USB emulation
by Ladislav Slezák 07 Jul '23

07 Jul '23

Hi all, I wrote a short summary about the Driver Update Disk (DUD), how to create it and use it. Especially I tested how to use DUD from an USB flash disk. See https://github.com/yast/yast.github.io/wiki/Driver-Update Note: I created it as a wiki page because I someone needed that quickly, feel free to improve it. Later I'd like to move it to some other place, probably https://github.com/yast/yast.github.io/tree/master/doc published at https://yastgithubio.readthedocs.io/ BTW did you know that the latest VirtualBox can emulate an USB controller with USB disk(s)? Go to the "Storage" section, at the bottom there is small icon containing a plus sign with "Add controller" tool tip. Click it and select "USB". A new USB controller appears in the list above it. Click the plus icon next to it to attach a virtual disk or CD/DVD device. You can attach an existing image or create a new one, just like with the emulated SATA or IDE devices. This might be useful for testing some special use cases. Enjoy! Ladislav -- Ladislav Slezák YaST Developer SUSE LINUX, s.r.o. Corso IIa Křižíkova 148/34 18600 Praha 8
