Integration testing under "fake" GNOME instance on github CI #1098
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I see many problems/fixes do not come with tests and there is no way to script triggering them. E.g. recent
And I think it could be very handy to have some "play script" which performs some tricky actions on an active instance thus codifying triggers for prior crashes etc, or at least smoke tests on a running instance.
FWIW -- we do something like that for our https://github.com/ReproNim/reprostim/blob/master/.github/workflows/ci-cd.yml where we drive under xvfb and take screenshots to potentially later identify and fix issues.
Describe the solution you'd like
with quick google I found
with references there is which could be handy on how to establish testing under gnome session using podman. Some tools like xdotool could potentially be used to drive the session but there might be even better ways.
May be some other WMs already have something like that, and a more complete solution could be borrowed?
Overall, just thought to drop a note since failed to find a similar issue so far.
