Jul19 manual (partial) release tests: debian9 py3qt5

[cpascual]

This issue is created for reporting the results of the manual tests for Jul19 release on debian9(stretch) with python3 and qt5.

The full checklist is not done. Only a few selected tests are done, to check issues found in other platforms.

The tests are done by @cpascual and @mrosanes

Installation

The installation is done on a pristine taurus-test:debian-stretch-py3qt5 container deployed with

xhost +local:
docker run -d --name=taurus-stretch -h taurus-test -e DISPLAY=$DISPLAY -e QT_X11_NO_MITSHM=1 -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix cpascual/taurus-test:debian-stretch-py3qt5
docker exec -it taurus-stretch bash

• [x] Install Taurus from the an artifact of Appveyor (tgz or msi): pip install <tarball_artifact_URL>

installing from latest appveyor artifact from the release-Jan19 branch with:

pip3 install https://ci.appveyor.com/api/buildjobs/g0ecp4g47ybyxvky/artifacts/dist%2Ftaurus-4.6.0a0.tar.gz

PROBLEM: I ran into #984 , and I worked around it by manually editting the METADATA file upgrading setuptools, as explained in https://github.com/taurus-org/taurus/issues/984#issuecomment-516419173

• [x] Install taurus-pyqtgraph from the master branch of its repo: pip3 install https://github.com/taurus-org/taurus_pyqtgraph/archive/master.zip
• [x] Check installed version of taurus: taurus --version

  taurus, version 4.6.0-alpha

• [x] Check installed version of taurus_pyqtgraph: taurus tpg --version

  tpg, version 0.2.5a0 (with taurus 4.6.0a0)

[mrosanes]

taurus designer

• [x] Execute taurus designer. Check that the taurus widgets are present in the catalog
• [x] Create an empty widget and drag various taurus widgets to it (they should be correctly dropped)

Generic issues

Some generic issues detected in one or more tests

• A few errors are logged related to OpenGL (which vary from host machine to host machine). These are quite certainly related with running on docker.

  libGL error: failed to open drm device: No such file or directory
  libGL error: failed to load driver: i965

[mrosanes]

taurus config

• [x] Open an ini file with taurus config and check that it is loaded correctly.

[mrosanes]

taurus form

(basically try all features described in the user's guide

• [x] Launch taurus form sys/tg_test/1/short_scalar

• [x] go to label context menu, change the configuration and set range to (-1000, 1000), alarm to (-500, 500) and unit to mm. Close the form and relaunch. The new units should be used. Change the the write value and check that the orange color is used when in warning values, and that the write widget does not allow to write values out of range.

  NOTE: the following traces are logged in console when changing units; but it seems to work on taurus form

  Traceback (most recent call last):

  pint.errors.DimensionalityError: Cannot convert from 'dimensionless' (dimensionless) to 'millimeter' ([length])

  THIS IS EXPECTED. Nothing to worry about (~~@cpascual)

• [x] Test to drag and drop of this attribute onto the same form many times (5 times)

  bug #96: It crashes some of the times dragging/dropping (normally if dragging/dropping fast). Not 100% reproducible in debian9.

• [x] Added test: Launch taurus form sys/tg_test/1/float_image; show and close again the image. Then close the 'taurus form'.

  BUG: traceback on console; but it does not affect any feature.

  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/guiqwt/curve.py", line 1404, in __del__
      canvas.removeEventFilter(self.filter)
  RuntimeError: wrapped C/C++ object of type QwtPlotCanvas has been deleted

[mrosanes]

taurus tpg plot (needs taurus_pyqtgraph installed)

• [x] Execute: taurus tpg plot "eval:Q(rand(333),'mm')" sys/tg_test/1/wave
• [x] Check zoom / panning (drag with right / left button), and Use (A) button to auto-range
• [x] Test inspector tool

The critical bugs have been tested and passed.
