[Bug 1478115] Re: using PathExistsGlob in apport-noui.path results in test failures

 

I haven't been able to locally recreate the same amd64 test failures,
but have run into the following i386 failure (and only this failure
which is odd):

======================================================================
FAIL: test_core_dump_packaged (__main__.T)
packaged executables create core dumps on proper ulimits
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "./test_signal_crashes.py", line 359, in test_core_dump_packaged
    self.check_report_coredump(self.test_report)
  File "./test_signal_crashes.py", line 918, in check_report_coredump
    self.assertTrue('CoreDump' in r)
AssertionError: False is not true

If I switch back to PathChanged from PathExistsGlob then the test
passes.

Title:
  using PathExistsGlob in apport-noui.path results in test failures

Status in systemd package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I've switched the apport-noui.path systemd file from:

  PathChanged=/var/crash

  to

  PathExistsGlob=/var/crash/*.crash

  I've done this because with PathChanged it seemed to me that the
  whoopsie-upload-all, called by apport-noui.service, would be called
  when any file (e.g. .upload, .uploaded) were created in /var/crash.
  Naturally, this seemed excessive to me and PathExistsGlob seems like a
  better fit.  Additionally, it is worth noting that the following from
  the systemd.path documentation:

  "If a path already exists (in case of PathExists= and PathExistsGlob=)
  or a directory already is not empty (in case of DirectoryNotEmpty=) at
  the time the path unit is activated, then the configured unit is
  immediately activated as well. Something similar does not apply to
  PathChanged= and PathModified=."

  Given that it appears with PathChanged the apport-noui service would
  never be run during boot up, again not what we want.

  However, making these changes seems to have caused some strange test
  failures with the apport's tests.
