Notes on Battery Testing
Mock battery settings are available for testing purposes.
The indicator's schema name is "com.canonical.indicator.power" and there are four keys: "mock-battery-enabled" (a boolean), "mock-battery-level" (charger percent, an integer from 0-100), "mock-battery-charging" (a boolean of whether the mock battery is charging or discharging), and "mock-battery-minutes-left" (minutes remaining to charge/discharge).
Example use:
$ gsettings reset-recursively com.canonical.indicator.power # reset settings to the default state
$ gsettings list-recursively com.canonical.indicator.power | grep mock # show the current mock settings
$ gsettings set com.canonical.indicator.power mock-battery-enabled true # use the mock battery
$ gsettings set com.canonical.indicator.power mock-battery-level 10 # set the mock battery's charge to 10%
$ gsettings set com.canonical.indicator.power mock-battery-enabled false # go back to production settings
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
Test-case indicator-power/device-brightness-slider
- On a device, pull down the power indicator's menu
- The menu should include a brightness slider with icons
- Slide the brightness slider back and forth
- The screen should get brighter and darker in sync with the slider's position
- Launch unity-system-settings' Brightness panel
- Move both the indicator's and the settings panel's sliders
- Both sliders' positions should stay in sync with each other
- Both should have the same effect on the screen's brightness
- Make a note of the current brightness level and slider position
- Reboot the device
- The screen brightness should be the same as it was before rebooting
- The indicator's brightness slider should be in the same position as it was before rebooting
