Fresh news of the day!

Unfortunately, we can't promote an image today. More investigation on 
the go.
We built images #142 and #143.

142 contains:
* latest enhancement on scopes backend API

143 contains:
* latest keyboard enhancement with spell checking in multiple languages 
(if enabled, still disabled by default). This keyboard should fix a 
maliit crasher on flacky tests
* libusermetric fix for shipping the latest HUD version (HUD blocked by 
alpha2 freeze for now in proposed)

Olivier found a fix for Oliver (please follow ;)) on the webapp 
container not having a back 
button(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/webbrowser-app/+bug/1271436). 
The fix is in the proposed pocket for now (blocked by alpha2 freeze)

We also had some issues in the self-service citrain system due to 
canonistack shutdown on lcy02. We moved to lcy01 and it was a good 
exercise to see how we can setup a new version. However, the latest part 
rsync is still not functional.

So, why no image promotion? Tests result on image 142 are mostly looking 
good. However, we do have some maliit crashers which are almost looking 
like the ones that were mentioned previously on this ML. The keyboard 
change in image 143 is supposed to fix it, so we didn't want to take any 
risk to promote a new crasher.

Image 143 has however the OSK totally broken (which wasn't the case in 
individual tests it seems), and so, we can expect a lot of test 
failures. The keyboard is crashing and non functional. We give 1h30 from 
now to upstream to investigate, if nothing, we'll revert the 
ubuntu-keyboard + ubuntu-touch-meta changes so that the image spinned up 
during the night should give us a promotable image again.


I update the going green section with the discussions that happened 
meanwhile on the ML:
*notes_app* (Bill/Zoltan):
http://ci.ubuntu.com/smokeng/trusty/touch/mako/112:20140105:20131223.2/5882/notes-app-autopilot/638428/ 

-> Olivier tried a little bit more on that one (we saw more of setUp() 
function randomly failing). It seems he need help, maybe the SDK team as 
it can toolbar related can help? A bug report to track that is filed as 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/notes-app/+bug/1271054.

*weather-app* (Nicholas):
http://ci.ubuntu.com/smokeng/trusty/touch/mako/109:20140103.1:20131223.2/5859/ubuntu-weather-app-autopilot/ 

-> Networking failure. This is changing to TWC api, and yes, there will 
need to be some mocking. This is WIP by development team. A big rollover 
to the new API will be landing soon.

*ubuntu-keyboard/maliit crash* (Kevin/Bill):
http://ci.ubuntu.com/smokeng/trusty/touch/maguro/114:20140106:20131223.2/5905/ubuntu-ui-toolkit-autopilot/ 

ubuntu-keyboard supposed to fix that landed... but as you saw, we need 
to have the keyboard working first ;)

*clock-app *(Nicholas):
http://ci.ubuntu.com/smokeng/trusty/touch/maguro/114:20140106:20131223.2/5905/ubuntu-clock-app-autopilot/ 

-> From Nicholas: "No luck in reproducing yet. -- the emulator won't run 
clock atm, investigating. Xnox, I see you seem to have results 
(passing), but I've only gotten crashes."
-> this one refailed today on mako (on test_run_preset which is calling 
test_add_preset): 
http://ci.ubuntu.com/smokeng/trusty/touch/mako/133:20140117:20140115.1/6118/ubuntu-clock-app-autopilot/677464/

Nicholas told: (quoting)
Found several probable causes for these failures. Seems to be a 
combination of the bug below on MIR, and a potential UITK issue with tab 
switching.

Probable MIR bug:
http://ci.ubuntu.com/smokeng/trusty/touch/maguro/130:20140115.1:20140115.1/6087/ubuntu-clock-app-autopilot/671736/
http://ci.ubuntu.com/smokeng/trusty/touch/maguro/126:20140113.1:20140107.1/6050/ubuntu-clock-app-autopilot/664258/
Tab switching:
http://ci.ubuntu.com/smokeng/trusty/touch/maguro/114:20140106:20131223.2/5905/ubuntu-clock-app-autopilot/642628/
Today's run contains an actual test failure possibility, looking into
http://ci.ubuntu.com/smokeng/trusty/touch/maguro/131:20140116:20140115.1/6095/ubuntu-clock-app-autopilot/673039/

Sergio is working to land a fix for this -- Chris Gagnon confirmed the 
changes allowed the tests to pass properly on maguro, so fingers crossed 
:-) (thanks Chris!)

*calendar-app* (Nicholas):
http://ci.ubuntu.com/smokeng/trusty/touch/maguro/141:20140121.1:20140115.1/6204/calendar-app-autopilot/
Nicholas is working on it, the CI team and others will help him to get 
access to maguro devices.

*dialer_app* crash (Bill):
http://ci.ubuntu.com/smokeng/trusty/touch/mako/114:20140106:20131223.2/5903/dialer-app-autopilot/ 

-> The team is looking into it (doesn't seem to happen on the emulator 
though)

*terminal app* (Nicholas):
We had this regression last month, it's on the list as well for blocking 
new terminal app release (keyboard not working with it): 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-terminal-app/+bug/1257791
-> The issue was investigated and found that konsole qml plugin is what 
needs work. Plugin author isn't able to look at the issue until next 
week, so we're on hold until then.


More (positive I hope) news tomorrow :)
Cheers,
Didier
