[Bug 1319621] [NEW] The autopilot tests execute code at the module level (at import time)

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Installing messaging-app-autopilot on my desktop and listing the
available autopilot tests causes some account setup code to be executed
which appears to attempt to create a network connection too?

This code should not just blindly execute at the module level (as it
gets run when imported i.e. listing the available tests.) and should
definitely not get executed on the desktop if it's going to break
things.


Below is this is the command that I used and the output that I saw.
On top of this output I saw a network manager popup stating that some connection had failed.
In my NetworkManager drop down I now have some option named '/246813579/context1' (I've attempted to show this in the attached screen shot  but it's in the process of hiding the dropdown).


$ python -m autopilot.run list messaging_app                                                                                                                             
mc-tool: couldn't load account 'ofono/ofono/account0': Method "GetAll" with signature "s" on interface "org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties" doesn't exist

Try 'mc-tool list' to list known accounts.
