title: [8.6 Release Issues] Test Suite: install_delete_partial and install_custom_gui_lvm_ext4 on rocky 8.6
labels: 'test suite'
assignees: '@akatch'

# Description

Running openQA test suite `install_delete_partial` as above throws `Test died: no candidate needle with tag(s) 'anaconda_install_destination_reclaim_space_btn' matched` at module `disk_guided_delete_partial`.

At this stage, the "Reclaim Space" button in the lower right corner of the dialog is disabled.

Additionally, the dialog shows that 5GB will be reclaimed by the steps taken to that point in the test, but installation requires around 9GB. Do we need to reclaim enough space for installation in order to enable that button?
_Yes, the button is enabled when enough space to install is reclaimed._

Just adding HDDSIZEGB=20 to `templates.fif.json` did not increase volume size shown in the dialog. Do we need to recreate the img file?
_Yes, recreating the img file using createhdds.py against a larger size in hdds.json resolved this error._

The Reclaim Space dialog claimed 9.06GB was required to perform installation, and after doubling the size of disk_full_XXX.img we got past the Reclaim Space dialog. However, `_do_install_and_reboot` failed to install citing not enough disk space.

Fixes #80 when merged.

# How Has This Been Tested?

```
# NOTE: was not able to reproduce for install_custom_gui_lvm_ext4
openqa-cli api -X POST isos ISO=Rocky-8.6-x86_64-dvd1.iso ARCH=x86_64 DISTRI=rocky FLAVOR=dvd-iso VERSION=8.6 BUILD=8.6_dvd-iso_$(date +%Y%m%d.%H%M%S).0 TEST=install_custom_gui_lvm_ext4 PACKAGE_SET=graphical-server

openqa-cli api -X POST isos ISO=Rocky-8.6-x86_64-dvd1.iso ARCH=x86_64 DISTRI=rocky FLAVOR=universal VERSION=8.6 BUILD=8.6_universal_$(date +%Y%m%d.%H%M%S).0 TEST=install_delete_partial PACKAGE_SET=graphical-server
```

All tests must pass `_do_install_and_reboot`.
NOTE: These tests will fail at `_console_wait_login` with the issue in #81.
