Description Swapna Krishnan 2012-02-02 20:22:57 UTC

Description of problem: 
After logging into rhel 6.2 machine (guest), sniff works fine. Once I run dogtail automation which opens up a bunch of applications and closes them, sniff stops working. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dogtail-0.7.0-1.el6

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Login to guest RHEL6.2
2. Run sniff - verify it is working
3. Run dogtail automation which opens up some applications and closes them
4. Open up sniff - it doesn't recognize some existing applications and doesn't recognize new applications as they are launched


  
Actual results:
Doesn't recognize applications and doesn't recognize new applications as they are launched

Expected results:
Should recognize all applications open on the desktop

I couldn't reproduce on 6.2 this using several automated test "in between". What automation were you running? Do you think it might matter you had it running in KVM?

Comment 2 Swapna Krishnan 2012-02-15 17:30:37 UTC

My automation is running several different applications at the same time and doing some actions with each of those applications. 

I don't know if having it in KVM matters or not. 

I do run my automation through STAF. I don't know if that makes a difference - let me investigate that and get back to you.

I am not sure whether STAF might have an influence on at-spi or not as I am not in detail familiar with it. If your investigation brings something please let me know. Thanks.

This has been open for very long and is now mostly irrelevant as the 0.7 line of dogtail is not actively developed anymore. Probably was a broken at-spi issue. Closing.
