Title:
Screen unlock helpers needs to be simpler for developers
Status in “unity8” package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Right now the screen unlocking helper in process_helpers.py provides
two functions. One to unlock the screen and the other to start unity
in testability but they are not called from within each other.
What would make more sense and also make the life of developers easy
is that unlock_unity() should itself check if unity is running in
testability and if not start it in testability and unlock the screen.
Also if the screen is already unlocked it should just do nothing
instead of raising an exception.
With the above suggestion I think it makes more sense to rename that
function to ensure_unity_unlocked().
Currently I am using something like this and calling it in setUp():
def ensure_screen_unlocked(self):
unity_pid = process_helpers._get_unity_pid()
try:
if get_proxy_object_for_existing_process(unity_pid):
process_helpers.unlock_unity()
except RuntimeError:
logger.log("Could not find autopilot interface for unity8, "
"restarting it in testability mode.")
process_helpers.restart_unity_with_testability()
process_helpers.unlock_unity()
