Wait for screen change in setraidlevel poo#18444

[thehejik]

When selecting wanted RAID level some keystrokes (eg. Tab) are ignored on xgene2 and mustang3 workers (seattle6 works fine) and then the test is failing, see https://openqa.suse.de/tests/881471#step/partitioning_raid/130

This commit is adding a wait between keystrokes and hopefully will fix that issue - it works correctly on x86_64 http://dhcp209.suse.cz/tests/4084 but I didn't test on aarch64.

Unfortunately I don't find a better solution for it because wait_screen_change() will probably not match flashing cursor which is the only change in the screen.

the argument to send_key is boolean. 2 is very confusing as value for "true" if this is what you intended. We want to avoid the use of wait_idle so I am objecting this change. But if you want to help you are welcome to take over os-autoinst/os-autoinst#704

Ah, good to know. I thought that the argument is in seconds and not a Boolean. As I wrote before I cannot use wait_screen_change in this case (the only change is flashing cursor). Any idea?

[okurz]

Any idea?

yes, you wrote "wait_screen_change() will probably not match" so please check if this is really true ;-) As an alternative use wait_still_screen to force some waiting or even assert_screen <tag>, no_wait => 1

Now the test is using wait_screen_change in setraidlevel() and it works at least on x86_64 \o/

• x86_64 http://dhcp209.suse.cz/tests/4138 (test canceled)
• aarch64 test missing but it should work in same way
