Tests fail at warning dialog "A topic with that name already exists"

[Alan Pope 🍺🐧🐱 🦄]

Running the full set of sudoku tests on the latest trunk r370 I'm getting failures.

"Edit topic" and "remove feed" tests both fail as a dialog appears on top stating that the topic already exists.
Perhaps during tests we should do as we do in calendar, and have random "UUID" based topics that get created, rather than fixed names like "Test topic" which will always fail.

See screenshot.

I cannot upload any new clicks to the store until this is fixed, so it's high priority.

Just the autopilot-test fail ? Not the app itself ?

Looks like the problem is another one: http://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/job/vivid-touch-mako-smoke-daily/400/artifact/clientlogs/shorts_app/test_results.subunit/*view*/

If you look at the images of the failed tests with trv you can see most are stuck on inserting the feed URL: http://www.canonical.com/rss.xml.

If I run the tests on my desktop I get no failures.

Could it be another issue, like the URL is not reachable for some reason?

Tests pass also on Jenkins: https://code.launchpad.net/~carla-sella/ubuntu-rssreader-app/just_for_test/+merge/253122.

It's certainly possible there's a network firewall in place. Have asked someone from Ci to comment.

The test used mako16: https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/job/vivid-touch-mako-smoke-daily/400/consoleFull (ANDROID_SERIAL=017121eacf5282c4 from the log)

$ juju ssh mako16-slave/0
$ adb -s 017121eacf5282c4 shell
phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ curl http://www.canonical.com/rss.xml; echo $?
0

So this is not a firewall issue.
