click-update-manager fails to run tests against Qt 5.2

[Timo Jyrinki]

The tests need to be run in headless mode successfully.

Update: minimal platform plugin seemingly not needed in this case.

[Diego Sarmentero (diegosarmentero)]

The Click Updates are being integrated into SystemSettings/Updates, the functionality should be moved completely into system settings, and this project won't longer be needed.
A branch is already proposed and should be landing this week.

Timo, when filing bug reports, please actually describe the problem, and not simply suggest a fix. For example, actually including the block of the build log that shows the failure, in the description, would go a long way to understanding *why* the change is needed. Simply stating it is needed, doesn't provide any useful information to other developers.

[Timo Jyrinki (timo-jyrinki)]

Hmm, sorry, this bug indeed does not have the link either here or in the merge request. This was identical to the linked gsettings-qt bug in symptoms so I guess that's why I managed to omit the log link in a hurry.

The build log is here:
https://launchpadlibrarian.net/162998333/buildlog_ubuntu-trusty-i386.click-update-manager_1%3A0.1%2B13.10.20131007-0~37%2B201401211001~ubuntu14.04.1_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz

Which seems similar to the gsettings-qt bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/gsettings-qt/+bug/1259145, and I indeed tested the merge proposal at https://launchpad.net/~canonical-qt5-edgers/+archive/qt5-beta2/+build/5484663

What about the warnings from Qt that occur there now:

QWARN : qmltestrunner::PageUpdate::test_check_children() QFontDatabase: Cannot find font directory '/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/fonts' - is Qt installed correctly?

What does setting the platform to "minimal" actually do there? Would not adding "-screen 0 640x480x24" to the xvfb-run args list, be a better fix?

[Timo Jyrinki (timo-jyrinki)]

The warnings are because the minimal plugin does not use fontconfig but falls back to another method, QTBUG-36243.

[PS Jenkins bot (ps-jenkins)]

Fix committed into lp:click-update-manager at revision 38, scheduled for release in click-update-manager, milestone Unknown

[Timo Jyrinki (timo-jyrinki)]

Confirmed to be fixed, it was just that the PPA recipe build had failed due to infrastructure once. Now seems all correct: https://launchpad.net/~canonical-qt5-edgers/+archive/qt5-beta2/+sourcepub/3945609/+listing-archive-extra
