The tests fail on jenkins because there is no account configured.

[Carla Sella (carla-sella)]

Ok thanks! I was wondering why :P.

[Nicholas Skaggs (nskaggs)]

Working with online accounts folks to see how to mock this up properly.

[David Planella (dpm)]

The upcoming promoted image should contain the Evernote Sandbox
authentication plugin preinstalled, which should make testing a lot easier.

Then the only thing required for authentication is creating a developer
account at http://sandbox.evernote.com and using that for login.

Explored options to automate a way to create an account for this as part of the test.

Using account console, or mocking some sql entries it's possible to create a new online account. However, doing actual oauth seems to require an interactive session (per mardy and ken). Therefore we need to have this use a fake provider that we can mock authenticate to and get notes, etc (which also solves the test account problem), or add a setup process to follow the steps to add the evernote account to the client.

At this point, I think mocking might easier, and would be preferred. Do we have a way of faking the data we would normally need from the server?

Sure... mocking this on a qml level is a matter of 15 mins. However, I'm not sure why we're going through the pain of autopilot if we're mocking the integrational part anyways...

[Nicholas Skaggs (nskaggs)]

After exploring several avenues around getting oauth to work, I've brought out the sledgehammer approach. In a nutshell, we'll preauth to a session with evernote for the test account. Next, we re-create the necessary db entries, cookies and tokens, etc on the test machine to avoid re-handshaking with evernote. Once authorized, the authorization lasts for one year with evernote. If everything works as expected, you would need to re-authorize to generate a new token and update the tests appropriately before the end of the year in order to ensure they continue to work.

The proof of concept hack works, I've got to try it now on the phone. Still it's not the broad solution I was hoping to achieve.

[Nicholas Skaggs (nskaggs)]

Carla, where are we at with this? I believe the autopilot bug you ran into has now been fixed and released; can we land this now?

[Nicholas Skaggs (nskaggs)]

I talked with Chris about the AP bugs we ran into with this; the launch bug is merged

https://bugs.launchpad.net/autopilot/+bug/1275913

This bug is still being worked and should land very soon;

https://code.launchpad.net/~veebers/autopilot-qt/reintroduce-exporting-qobject-children-of-qml-items/+merge/207581

Are we affected by anything else? Are we affected by the second bug linked even? I think we might be good with the fix for autopilot launch.

[Carla Sella (carla-sella)]

Nicholas, yes the autopilot bug has been fixed, but unfortunately I uninstalled reminders-app and now I have this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/reminders-app/+bug/1280459 that will not let me install it again.
I am unable to run autopilot tests so I was waiting to be able to install remindes-app again.

[Nicholas Skaggs (nskaggs)]

Carla, the dependency issue is now resolved :-) For the app not launching, see:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/reminders-app/+bug/1276647

I've marked this as critical, as it's blocking the test development. Thanks!

[Nicholas Skaggs (nskaggs)]

The launching issue has also been resolved, and should be released soon.

[Nicholas Skaggs (nskaggs)]

App still fails to launch; https://bugs.launchpad.net/reminders-app/+bug/1284857

[Nicholas Skaggs (nskaggs)]

The bug has been fixed,after upgrading I can launch reminders.. See if you can give this a whirl now :-)

[Nicholas Skaggs (nskaggs)]

There's a trick to launching reminders.qml via the command line with qmlscene -- can someone elaborate?

[Michael Zanetti (mzanetti)]

> There's a trick to launching reminders.qml via the command line with qmlscene
> -- can someone elaborate?

We don't support qmlscene any more. You need to launch the reminders binary.

[Nicholas Skaggs (nskaggs)]

Carla, how's this coming? I would use print_tree and run the test redirecting the output to a file. Then you could have a look at the full object tree if you needed, or use it on a specific object.

[Nicholas Skaggs (nskaggs)]

Our lost IRC conversation;

<balloons> letozaf, merge lp:~nskaggs/reminders-app/fix-ap-launch
<balloons> letozaf, so that forces launching via the installed version. It will get you running for now

Carla, we've landed the base of this work in https://code.launchpad.net/~nskaggs/reminders-app/base-ap/+merge/211409. You can rebase and continue on this MP, but the diff should be more readable now with just the new tests :-)

This branch will also depend on https://code.launchpad.net/~nskaggs/reminders-app/add-testability-driver/+merge/211428 in order to work. If this hasn't yet landed I'd encourage you to merge the branch so autopilot introspection will work properly.

[Nicholas Skaggs (nskaggs)]

I had to self-land the merge in order to land the base ap merge :-(, but it's at least all in now. Whew.

[Nicholas Skaggs (nskaggs)]

I'm unsure how this exact MP got merged; I guess lp decided my changes for base AP merged it. Regardless, Carla, go ahead and continue work on a new branch from trunk with some actual tests :-)
