Re: [g-a-devel] at-spi2 and a11ytesting core dump

[Nagappan Alagappan <nagappan gmail com>]

Hi Patrick,

Which distribution are you trying with ?

I have seen some issue with at-spi2 in Ubuntu 11.10 / Fedora 14. Most of them got fixed for GNOME 3.4 (at-spi2) which is now part of Ubuntu 12.04.

Thanks

Nagappan

The test box is using (at-spi2-core, at-spi2-atk, pyatspi) all version 2.4,
ldtp 2.3.0, accerciser 3.4.0. (i.e., latest tar balls)

One oddity is that the terminal in which ldtp -v is running generates:
(LDTB_DEBG 2 is set)

ldtp -v
sem_wait: Invalid argument
sem_post: Invalid argument
sem_wait: Invalid argument
sem_post: Invalid argument
sem_wait: Invalid argument
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Who is using semaphores? (A quick look doesn't find any in at-spi2-core,
accerciser nor ldtp - have I missed some?)


The only trivial change I made to a11ytesting was:

--- mago/cmd/result.py  2011-10-09 16:01:33 +0000
+++ mago/cmd/result.py  2012-04-05 11:10:55 +0000
@ -45,4 +45,4 @@
          self.append('screenshot', _logFile)
        except:
          # Screenshots fail to connect to xmlrpc socket in GNOME 3.0
-          self.append('screenshot failed',_logFile)
+          self.append('screenshot_failed',_logFile)

so I basically have no local modifications in the long string of
dependencies...


Any thoughts on where to look?

Cheers,

Patrick
