Make our test suite compatible with a Wayland Tails
-
Our test suite uses xdotool
, that only partly works on Wayland:-
xdotool set_desktop N
still works -
xdotool key Super
doesn’t- The
super
("windows") key is KEY_LEFTMETA (0x7d)
- The
-
xdotool search --name
only works for apps that are not Wayland native- We don't need this if we can drop usage of
windowactivate
andwindowmove
- We don't need this if we can drop usage of
-
xdotool ... windowactivate
?- Pidgin: it's going away (#8573) hopefully before we switch to Wayland
- Installer: waiting with OpenCV for the Installer to appear should be good enough
-
xdotool ... windowmove
?- If we fix the underlying bug this workarounds, we're good.
- Note: I cannot reproduce with Tails running Wayland! So we're probably good!
- And actually there is an alternative workaround that I have verified works:
@screen.press('super', 'up')
. So we're definitely good here!
