This only ever worked for the session, not for the greeter. Writing the information out to a file should be more consistent.
To make sure that this works, and continues working, for the greeter & session, also add a new VM test.
- Split desktop into desktop-basics (basic keybind & app launching) and
desktop-appinteractions (one applications triggering something in another) due to timeouts
- Wrap machine.wait_for_text to wait 10 seconds before starting
The 10 second delay improves runtime dramatically on weaker hardware. In desktop-ayatana-indicators
on my aarch64 laptop, runtime was cut down by 818,41 seconds (~ 14 minutes).
Hopefully helps abit with timeout issues on ARM :(
Because ARM hardware is starting to have serious issues with completing everything, due to
- A seemingly harmless Lomiri crash & restart early on eating up some time (adding more RAM seemed to have helped with that?), and
- Every OCR usually taking multiple minutes to complete
So start splitting them up into parts
- greeter, for testing just the greeter
- desktop, for general app stuff
- desktop-ayatana-indicators, for checking indicators (OCR-heavy & especially slow)
Currently passing on my hardware, but might need to be split up more in the future.
It has started to take 10 minutes to get a match, and we open the starter more than once.
Let's just drop this check, ydotool helps alot with getting it open more reliably.
