While trying to sandbox the file chooser portal, I broke it. This caused files not to be saved, resulting in silent data loss. Unfortunately, the integration test still passed.
Is this a bug in the test? Is there a better alternative to manual testing?
Not presently, but we can work on improving the test. The current portal test was written as a regression test for a specific issue we had. It's quite hard to test completely end to end but we could do a lot better.
I would quite like to spend some time in February or so working on our tests.
Would it make sense to use openQA for this? Qubes OS uses openQA and it works very well. openQA is written in Perl, but it’s the best tool I know of for this. -- Sincerely, Demi Marie Obenour (she/her/hers)
