QA:Testcase Packages No Insights

Associated release criterion

This test case is associated with the Release_Criteria#repositories-must-match-upstream 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 will verify that insights-client package is not declared be installed as part of a package group.

Setup

  1. Obtain access to an environment with the dnf command.
  2. Download the ISO to be tested to that machine.

How to test

  1. Mount the ISO to be tested locally.
  2. Determine the path to the comps file(s) on the ISO.
  3. Verify that insights-client is not declared to be installed automatically.
    • Example 1:
      find /media -name "*comps*.xml" -exec grep -H "insights-client" '{}' \;
    • Example 2:
      dnf --refresh --repofrompath BaseOS,/media/BaseOS --repo BaseOS --repofrompath AppStream,/media/AppStream --repo AppStream groupinfo base | grep -E ":|insights"
  4. Unmount the ISO.

Expected Results

  1. insights-client is not declared to be installed by default.

Sample Output

UPDATE SAMPLE

NOTE: This example needs to be refreshed when the 8.6 ISO has been produced. As seen in the Failure section below the Rocky-8.5-x86_64-dvd1.iso includes the insights-client as part of the base group. The package should be included on the DVD ISO but should not be installed automatically.
