Allow dogtail to run on a headless server
Last modified: 2005-10-11 20:52:20 UTC
In order to get regression tests working in a tinderbox, we really ought to be able to run dogtail scripts on some kind of fake X session. For bonus points, it ought to possible to record a movie of the testrun (e.g. using vnc2swf) and delete it on success, so that you have a movie to help with debugging. running headless: figure out xvfb v. xfake, maybe just use whichever is installed; need to get a full session going- what exactly are the needs for the session? could jhbuild run gnome-session (inside session run test scripts) or could maybe do the nat-jeff session: http://nat.org/2005/october/#Keep-It-Simple-Stupid instead of a real session
It's working in CVS, using a nat-jeff session for now.
