QA:Testcase Update Image	Al Bowles	2022-07-08	prod ver level Rocky Linux 8 Final

!!! info "Associated release criterion" This test case is associated with the Release_Criteria#Update Image release criterion. If you are doing release validation testing, a failure of this test case may be a breach of that release criterion.

Description

This test case verifies that an update image can be loaded into Anaconda and applied during the install process.

{% include 'qa_data_loss_warning.md' %}

Setup

{% include 'qa_setup_boot_to_media.md' %}

1. Hit the Tab key to edit the boot command

How to test

1. Supply inst.updates=https://fedorapeople.org/groups/qa/updates/updates-openqa.img to the GRUB command line
2. Boot into the installer as usual.
3. In Anaconda, open the Installation Destination spoke.

Expected Results

1. Within the Installation Destination spoke, the selected install disk should have a pink background === "FAIL" { loading=lazy }

=== "PASS" { loading=lazy }

1. If you cannot verify visually, check for the existence of /tmp/updates, which should contain updated source files if the update was successfully applied. Note that if the update image doesn't actually contain any source files, this directory will not be created.

Testing with openQA

The following openQA test suites satisfy this release criteria:
