Summary:
I discovered another fun font issue today. Current anaconda
images don't use the intended 'default' console font, eurlatgr.
Neither do live images, but installed systems *do*.
The font they use is the system BIOS font, which in openQA
cases means the qemu firmware font. The easiest way to spot the
difference is the @ character; the shorter version is from the
system BIOS, the slightly taller one is what it looks like in
eurlatgr and latarcyrheb-sun16 (the old default).
In a test image I built, for some reason, I *did* get eurlatgr
in the tmux console, and that broke some needle matches. After
figuring all this out, bcl has sent a lorax patch to use
eurlatgr in the installer, so it makes sense to add these fixes
to the repo for when that kicks in.
We shrink the match on root_logged_in.json by one line. This
screenshot is taken from a post-install case where the prompt
appears in the middle of the screen, and has three black rows
above the prompt; in anaconda, when the prompt appears right at
the top of the screen, there's only *two* rows of black above
it, so the match fails. This fixes that. It's been working so
far because installs have been matching root_logged_in_
rawhide20150311, which is taken with the firmware font, but
once the installer starts using eurlatgr, that won't match any
more.
We also add a new needle for the anaconda_install_source_check
_repo_added tag, taken with eurlatgr. The existing screenshot
was taken either with the firmware font or with latarcyrheb.
They both use a curly glyph for a single quote ('), while
eurlatgr uses a straight line.
This also renames the root_logged_in variant needle to be
clearer about why it's there. We'll probably need variants of
some needles until we're sure lives, anaconda env, and installed
systems are all using eurlatgr. RHBZ #1250262 is a bug I filed
for the live images not using eurlatgr.
Test Plan:
Run the tests with both BIOS font and eurlatgr as
the anaconda font and make sure they all work. The latter
might be a bit tricky till the change lands upstream, I've no
idea how it worked out that way in my test boot.iso.

Summary:
Root console in anaconda got broken by RHBZ #1222413 - no
shell on tty2. Decided to clean up console use in general as
part of fixing it.
This creates a class 'fedorabase' and has 'anacondalog' and
'fedoralog' both inherit from it. boot_to_login_screen is
moved there (as it seems appropriate) and it has a new
method, console_login, which basically handles 'get me a
shell on a console': if we're already at one it returns,
if not it'll type the user name and the password *if
necessary* (sometimes it's not) and return once it sees a
prompt. It takes a hash of named parameters for user,
password and 'check', which is whether it should die if it
fails to reach a console or not (some users don't want it
to).
anacondalog and fedoralog both get 'root_console' methods
which do something appropriate and then call
console_login; both have a hash of named parameters,
anacondalog's version only bothers with 'check', while
fedoralog's also accepts 'tty' to pick the tty to use.
This also adjusts all things which try to get to a console
prompt to use either root_console or console_login as
appropriate.
It also tweaks the needle tags a bit, drops some unneeded
needles, and adds a new 'user console prompt' needle; we
really just need two versions of the root prompt needle
and two of the user prompt needle (one for <F23, one for
F23+ - the console font changed in F23, and the @ character
at least doesn't match between the two). I think we still
need the <F23 case for upgrade tests, for now.
Test Plan:
Do a full test run and see that more tests
succeed. I've done a run on happyassassin with a hack to
workaround the SELinux issue for interactive installs,
and the results look good. I also fiddled about a bit to
test some different cases, like forcing a failure in a
live test to test post_fail_hook (and hence root_console)
in that scenario, and forcing failures after some console
commands had been run to check that it DTRT when we've
already reached a console, etc.
