Description

It breaks very often on Jenkins:

The Dogtail script raised: SearchError: child of [desktop frame | main]: "tails-documentation" application (RuntimeError)
./features/support/helpers/dogtail.rb:81:in `run'
./features/support/helpers/dogtail.rb:70:in `initialize'
./features/step_definitions/checks.rb:113:in `/^the documentation viewer opens the "(Support|Getting started)" page$/'
features/documentation.feature:7:in `Then the documentation viewer opens the "Getting started" page'

The screenshot shows that the doc desktop icon is selected but the documentation viewer is nowhere to be seen.

Marked as fragile so the notifications we get on tails-rm@ are more useful :)

  • Subject changed from The "The Tails documentation launcher on the desktop works when offline" scenario is fragile to The "The Tails documentation launcher on the desktop works…" scenarios are fragile

Actually the “when online” flavour often fails as well. Looks like everything that’s about double-clicking icons on the desktop is affected: Bug #15321.
