webbrowser_app.tests.test_selection.TestSelection.test_resize_selection fails on mako

[Olivier Tilloy]

webbrowser_app.tests.test_selection.TestSelection.test_resize_selection recently started failing consistently on mako with vivid images.

The last passing smoke test run was http://ci.ubuntu.com/smokeng/vivid/touch/mako/117:20150301.1:20150210/12398/.
The first failure appeared in http://ci.ubuntu.com/smokeng/vivid/touch/mako/119:20150303:20150210/12407/.

Image #119 had an upgrade from oxide 1.4.2 to 1.5.3, which might be the cause of the issue (needs further investigation to confirm).

I’m attaching a video of a failing test run, courtesy of Arthur Mello.

Note that the same test passes on krillin.

I just linked a branch which I hope will fix the issue on mako. This updates the selection test page by adding another div that will define the new selection when growing it from the smaller div.

My wild guess is that the newest version of oxide (chromium under the hood) computes differently the body element’s margins. Adding a div with explicit margins should work around the issue.

  * Discard selection when navigating away. (LP: #1433503)
  * Expose the SearchEngine type to QML.
  * Remove workaround for bug #1377198, which was fixed in oxide 1.5.
    (LP: #1377198)
  * Rename test helper function from clear_cache() to clear_datadir(),
    to better reflect what it really does.
  * Update the 'selection' test page to hopefully fix the failing
    autopilot test on mako. (LP: #1434193, #1433020)
  * Update translation template.
  * Use the loadEvent signal (introduced in oxide 1.3).
