Hackathon Tomorrow (May 23rd) 1200 UTC to 2000 UTC in #ubuntu-quality

[Vasudevan Kottilil]

Hi Nicholas,
I tried testing all the existing autopilot scripts from trunk on my dev box
running quantal 12.10 updated today morning after I pinged  on the irc.
autopliot 1.3 was built after disabling lttng option. Based on initial
experience I guess I may have to create a guest image for latest build and
try again. This is what I got on my dev env.

both these appeared to go through
-test_firefox
-test_evince

tests that failed - RuntimeError:Unable to find Autopilot interface
-test_gedit
-test_nautilus
-test_shotwell
-test_totem
all these launched the respective apps and no further interactions.

Did not run test_fileroller - the app is not working (after system update);
can not create new archive of any type on my computer - this has nothing to
do with autopilot . I have a screen shot of error, can post it if required.

These are the lingering questions that I have for tomorrow's meeting:
In setUp which should be used to launch target app? What is the criteria ?
The scripts currently use one of the three:
 self.launch_test_application("appname")
             or
 self.start_app_window("appName")
             or
 self.mgr = ProcessManager.create("BAMF"),
self.mgr.start_app_window("appname")

>From where or how can we get the IDs of child windows/icons/buttons/labels
etc? (in select_single etc)
These are used to select/click/enter text on target windows in several test
cases after getting a proxy object.

Thanks,
Vasudevan
