Notes on Battery Testing
When building from source, an executable 'indicator-power-service-cmdline-battery' will be built in the tests/ directory. This has the same code as indicator-power-service, except instead of listening to UPower it has a single fake battery that can be set from the command line to set its charge level and whether it's charging or discharging.
You'll need to stop the current indicator-power-service before starting the test one. After that, you enter in a number, or 'charging', or 'discharging', to set the fake battery. ctrl-c exits.
Example:
$ stop indicator-power # stop the real indicator-power service
$ build/tests/indicator-power-service-cmdline-battery # start the test service
50 # sets the fake battery level to 50%
30 # sets the fake battery level to 30%
charging # sets the fake battery to charging
discharging # sets the fake battery to discharging
ctrl-c # exits the test service
$ start indicator-power # restart the real service
Test-case indicator-power/unity7-items-check
- Log in to a Unity 7 user session
- Go to the panel and click on the Power indicator
- Ensure there are items in the menu
Test-case indicator-power/unity7-greeter-items-check
- Start a system and wait for the greeter or logout of the current user session
- Go to the panel and click on the Power indicator
- Ensure there are items in the menu
Test-case indicator-power/unity8-items-check
- Login to a user session running Unity 8
- Pull down the top panel until it sticks open
- Navigate through the tabs until "Battery" is shown
- Battery is at the top of the menu
- The menu is populated with items
Test case indicator-power/detect-charging-or-discharging
- Begin with a discharging device
- The indicator's icon should denote a discharging battery; e.g. an icon without the '⚡' sign
- Plug it in so that its battery is charging
- The indicator's icon should change to show a charging battery
-
- Unplug it again
- The indicator's icon should revert back to the same one in step one
Test case indicator-power/low-power-notifications
- Wait for the system's battery level to drop to 10% (or fake it, see 'Notes on Battery Testing' above)
- A notification should appear
- Its title should read "Battery Low"
- Its text should read "10% charge remaining"
- The icon should be a low power icon
- It should have two actions, "Battery settings" and "OK".
- Tap OK to dismiss the popup
- Wait (or fake) the battery level to drop to 9%
- No new notification should appear -- we're still at the "Low" level
- Wait (or fake) the battery level to drop to 4%
- A notification should appear
- Its title should read "Battery Critical"
- Its text should read "4% charge remaining"
- The icon should be a critical power icon
- It should have two actions, "Battery settings" and "OK".
- Tap 'Battery Settings'
- ubuntu-system-settings should be launched to the Battery page
