Bug 206925 – [GTK] Extra packages needed to successfully run API tests (cups-daemon and fonts-liberation)

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: Tools / Tests

[Carlos Alberto Lopez Perez]

While deploying the new EWS bots for GTK API tests ( bug 202361 ) I found the following tests where failing on those bots but not on the release bot:


Unexpected failures (2)
    /TestWebCore
        ComplexTextControllerTest.TotalWidthWithJustification
        ComplexTextControllerTest.InitialAdvanceInRTLNoOrigins

Unexpected timeouts (5)
    /WebKit2Gtk/TestPrinting
        /webkit/WebKitWebView/print
        /webkit/WebKitPrintOperation/close-after-print
        /webkit/WebKitPrintOperation/print-errors
        /webkit/WebKitPrintOperation/print
        /webkit/WebKitPrintOperation/custom-widget

Upon investigation, it turns out that:

* For API printing tests its needed to have installed cups-daemon (its not enough with libcups-dev, you need the daemon running as well)
* For ComplexTextControllerTest failures you need to have installed the package fonts-liberation.
  Liberation should be selected for Times. In other words, this sould be the output of this command: 
$ fc-match -v Times|grep file
	file: "/usr/share/fonts/truetype/liberation/LiberationSerif-Regular.ttf"(w)

FTR this isn't an issue in the upcoming Flatpak SDK:

webkit-flatpak --command=bash
$ fc-match -v Times|grep file
file: "/usr/share/fonts/liberation-fonts/LiberationSerif-Regular.ttf"(w)
