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.

Comment 3 Vitezslav Humpa 2012-02-16 10:44:51 UTC
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.

Comment 4 Vitezslav Humpa 2016-03-09 09:20:59 UTC
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.
