Test test_layout_load fails on i3wm (tiling window manager) #569

Open MartinSavc opened 1 year ago

MartinSavc commented 1 year ago

Running the tests gives the following failure under i3wm: FAILED envisage/ui/tasks/tests/test_tasks_application.py::TestTasksApplication::test_layout_load - AssertionError: Tuples differ: (956, 1029) != (492, 743)

The issue is that any tiling window manager will resize any non-floating window to a shape fitting the current layout. This will cause an error in the above test, where it expects a specific window size.

This is nothing but a minor nuisance, very specific to a particular desktop setup and I think incredibly hard to properly fix. But I though I'd let you know anyways, maybe someone will know how to fix this issue, or maybe it's relevant to another problem you might have down the road.

Thank you for the report; it's appreciated. ETS development isn't a focus right now, so please be aware that it may be some time before we're able to get to this.

Possibly we should replace the test with something that simply verifies that the right dimensions are being supplied when creating the relevant panes/windows, rather than measuring the size of the resulting window.
