Bug #17603
Test suite: “Chatting with some friend over XMPP” failures
0%
Description
Checking locally the whole scenarios that had at least one test failure in Jenkins, I’m seeing repeated issues for the “Chatting with some friend over XMPP” test, be it on stretch or on buster (so I suppose this isn’t specific to a particular release).
It might be that the credentials helpfully shared by @anonym a while ago are not working properly anymore, but I thought I’d make sure by filing this ticket instead of assuming anything. Also, I think we should move on with publishing 4.5 sooner rather than later, so I won’t spend time trying to manually test this right away.

Given I have started Tails from DVD and logged in and the network is connected # features/step_definitions/snapshots.rb:170
When I start "Pidgin Internet Messenger" via GNOME Activities Overview # features/step_definitions/common_steps.rb:685

Then I receive a response from my friend # features/step_definitions/pidgin.rb:150
Scenario failed at time 00:09:18From a very quick look at the screenshot, it might be that some spammer/“friend” got an authorization requested in the queue, which might be interfering.
A bit further down the line, I’m seeing those messages as well, maybe some error case might be improved?

I suspect sharing credentials may be problematic here, in terms of
robustness, if several people run the test suite with the same
credentials at the same time. Could be totally wrong though!

This is correct! However, the time window for such a clash is so small I don’t think it can explain “repeated issues” with this scenario.
