Re: Test for portals passes even when file portal is broken

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.
