CCpp:bind = Mailx("[abrt] Bind crashed")

How to test this: try to change the analyzer - reporter association to something else and report some crash.
it should report somewhere else (Logger logs to /var/log/abrt-logger, Mailx sends email to the configured email address).

Description

This test case checks whether ABRT's actions and reporters function works correctly.

Warning.png
Please disregard this test case.
This test case was written for ABRT 1 which has already been replaced by ABRT 2.


How to test

  1. Ensure the appropriate packages are installed with the command su -c 'yum install abrt-plugin-runapp abrt-plugin-mailx'
  2. Edit the config file /etc/abrt/abrt.conf, and change the ActionsAndReporters line to read: 
    

    ActionsAndReporters = RunApp("ls", "ls-output")
    





Warning.png


The following test doesn't work
There is a regression in abrt that prevents this option to work.




  1. Set up an executable-specific report action in the AnalyzerActionsAndReporters section, such as:

    

    [ AnalyzerActionsAndReporters ]
    

    # all C/C++ crashes will be reported via Logger plugin
    

    CCpp = Logger
    

    # if gedit crashes, then an email will be send and Logger (from ''CCpp'' section) should be silent
    

    CCpp:gedit = Mailx("[abrt] Gedit crashed")
    

    2. 

  2. Restart ABRT with the command su -c 'service abrtd restart'
    3. 

  3. Run the specified command (gedit in our example) and then kill it with the command kill -SIGSEGV (pid)


Expected Results


  1. Verify that a directory listing appears in the file ls-output located at /var/cache/abrt/<the_crash_directory>

    • the_crash_directory will be something like ccpp-1270110556-2295 (the format is: <analyzer>-
    2. 

  2. -- DOESN'T WORK --Verify that the Mailx plugin was used to send a mail about the crash
