Description

This test case is intended to introduce a failure, and validate anaconda is able to properly handle the failure and report the issue to bugzilla. A valid bugzilla username and password is required for this test, please refer to BugsAndFeatureRequests.

Setup

Download, or create, boot media needed to boot and test the Fedora installer

How to test

  1. Boot the installer by any available means (CD, DVD, boot.iso or PXE). Add a traceback keyword to the kernel boot line.
  2. After a few initial steps (language/keymap choice, network activation) you should be presented with a failure dialog. Select Save
  3. On the following dialog, choose bugzilla.redhat.com from the destination list.
  4. Enter a valid bugzilla username and password, and select OK.

Expected Results

  1. The installer presents a failure dialog and offers an option to save the failure report.
  2. The Bug description is pre-populated with information about the traceback.
  3. Depending on the traceback, you are informed that a new bug was created, or that an existing bug was found that matches this failure. Either way, a bug# is provided
  4. Details of the failure are attached to the bug report
