Comment 0 for bug 1192049

I'm attempting to introspect the maliit-server (specifically on a Nexus 4).

I encounter consistently encounter segfault when getting to the 3rd level of introspection.

I have attached a python script that displays this behaviour.

To show the segfault, kill maliit-server and restart with -testability argument.
Run the script.

The script should fail and you will see a segfault comment on the terminal where you started maliit-server.

Python script:
-------------------
from autopilot.introspection import get_dbus_address_object, make_proxy_object
from autopilot.introspection.constants import AUTOPILOT_PATH

dbus_address_instance = get_dbus_address_object('org.maliit.server', AUTOPILOT_PATH)

print "Getting maliit-server object"
maliit = make_proxy_object(dbus_address_instance, None)

print "Getting QuickView"
quickview = maliit.get_children()[1]

print "Getting keyboard"
keyboard = quickview.get_children()[0]

print "About to segfault maliit-server"
keyboard.get_children()
