GUI logins in security/test_bmc_connections.robot do not work

[generatz]

The login steps in both of the following 2 GUI testcases in security/test_bmc_connections.robot fail, apparently because the test is seeking the wrong login field locator:

• Test BMC GUI Stability On Continuous Refresh Of GUI Home Page
• Test Stability On Large Number Of Wrong Login Attempts To GUI

The error message is Element with locator '//*[@data-test-id='login-input-username']' not found.

The GUI login does work for me on the same BMC HW with the tests in gui/test/gui_header/test_obmc_gui_ip_refresh_check.robot

The gui/test/gui_header/test_obmc_gui_ip_refresh_check.robot suite uses Suite Setup Launch Browser And Login OpenBMC GUI which, in turn, uses the variable

xpath_textbox_hostname = "//input[@id='host']"

It appears that the security tests use a different variable:

xpath_textbox_username = "//*[@data-test-id='login-input-username']"

Could it be that one of the xpath_textbox_username values is outdated?

Turns out the BMC I was testing on is outdated with respect to the webui - I just learned that it is using AngularJS. I'm guessing that my AngularJS webui could be the reason for the discrepancy.

yes, it is likely based on the input. Thanks for checking it out.
