#770 Cockpit test cases - can't login as root
Opened by kparal. Modified

Open
Close Issue

Contrary to what our current Cockpit test cases suggest, you can no longer log in as root:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2269361

We should adjust the instructions. I think it affects this one:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_Server_cockpit_basic
and perhaps even this one?
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_Server_cockpit_default

We probably need to say that in anaconda you must create a regular user (or add the user manually after server install).

Actually, the bug was reopened and a discussion is happening, so let's wait until it's over, perhaps a different outcome will emerge.

oh, yeah, I did actually change the openQA tests for this a while ago:

  • https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/os-autoinst-distri-fedora/c/0646dc64ad5bf930c061946e03c3e1ea943255b3
  • https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/os-autoinst-distri-fedora/c/b388c6fc94c7ac213b61d800c24ddca571d4425e
  • https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/os-autoinst-distri-fedora/c/9d8a35ed39f34cbaf4e8f760d29204ebb973ebad

but didn't think to update the manual test cases...

btw, it shouldn't usually be necessary to do these tests manually, openQA should cover them.

That explains why it passes in OpenQA :-) I wasn't purposefully testing Cockpit, it was an accident as everything in my life. But some manual testing is handy just to uncover cases like this one (in case it is decided to be a "bug" or non-ideal behavior).
