Problem

Under some circumstances, updating progress in the Progress module can lead to a crash with a UI error "No widget with ID ...".

Probable Cause

Another pop-up dialog may be in the way, e.g. during some libzypp callbacks. That will then be the topmost dialog, and of course that dialog does not have the expected widget tree, i.e. not the ReplacePoint that the Progress module wants to modify with UI.ReplaceWidget().

Fix

Be more defensive in that Progress module: Check if the expected widget exists in the current dialog before trying to exchange its content.

Test

There was no test environment for the Progress module at all: The only way of testing it was with a live YaST module. But that makes it complicated to get into all cases; and, worse for this bug, there is no way to enforce a popup dialog being in the way.

So I added a new manual test client for this. It's not realistically possible to do that with auto-tests, so this needs some manual interaction and watching what happens.

The new test client is started from the test directory:

cd yast-yast2/library/wizard/test/manual
yast2 ./progress_demo

or, for NCurses:

yast2 ./progress_demo --ncurses

It first asks which progress scenario to use:

Then it opens one of either:

Simple progress

Complex progress

In either case, there are some buttons which directly correspond to the exported actions of the Progress module, and you can open one or more pop-up dialogs that get in the way (which is the purpose of this test for this bug). That pop-up has the same buttons to test the Progress module's behaviour.

With popup dialog in the way

Clicking around on those buttons might not update the progress output correctly, but it should at least not crash with a UI exception and error dialog.
