autopilot3 run camera_app.tests.test_zoom.TestCameraZoom.test_slider_zoom_out crashes camera-app

The camera app is crashing during the smoke testing and during long running testing, this should be critical.

I know the zoom test in AP is broken to begin with and there is an MR that omer was working on to fix it.
@ugo
Can you get a branch together with the camera-app AP test fixes please?

I cannot reproduce any camera crash on krillin manually using the slider/pinch to zoom, so I think this is an issue caused by the test.

Also, this is mako. Does it crash on krillin?

Yes It crashes on both. It crashes more on mako than krillin.

This is a beta blocker for Beta2. So it would be keen to have it asap.

This is the top Krillin crasher in the LRT tests.

I can not reproduce this by hand

I believe this is just a crash with the test. Cannot be reproduced by hand.
@kaleo
please take over this branch from omer which seems to fix the broken test (and a few others)
https://code.launchpad.net/~canonical-platform-qa/camera-app/lp1366825_fix_zoom/+merge/233725

And lets land these test fixes and this problem should go away. Of course first look at the crash and make sure it's not an actual problem with the underlying code.
