Signing metadata requires a lot of manual interaction and knowledge of the customer. This was the reason why we never implemented it for SUMA as the benefit was very low.

Now with the change in the zypp stack to not allow installing unsigned RPMs without user interaction or completly disabling GPG checks the benefit of such a feature increased.

I plan to implement this without any GUI support.

  • the customer need to create an own GPG key pair
  • the customer need to enable this feature in the config and configure the keyid and the password
  • during metadata generation the taskomatic task check, if metadata signing is configured and only then sign them
  • if metadata signing is configured, we need to change the GPG check options of the repos.

    Move Uyuni Test Framework from Selenium to Playwright + AI by oscar-barrios

    Description

    This project aims to migrate the existing Uyuni Test Framework from Selenium to Playwright. The move will improve the stability, speed, and maintainability of our end-to-end tests by leveraging Playwright's modern features. We'll be rewriting the current Selenium code in Ruby to Playwright code in TypeScript, which includes updating the test framework runner, step definitions, and configurations. This is also necessary because we're moving from Cucumber Ruby to CucumberJS.

    If you're still curious about the AI in the title, it was just a way to grab your attention. Thanks for your understanding.


    Goals

    • Migrate Core tests including Onboarding of clients
    • Improve test reliabillity: Measure and confirm a significant reduction of flakynes.
    • Implement a robust framework: Establish a well-structured and reusable Playwright test framework using the CucumberJS
