https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_Anaconda_save_traceback_to_bugzilla#How_to_test_on_Anaconda_WebUI says:

Wait, until Anaconda WebUI is fully started, set a language and click Continue.
Press F12 to open development tools of the browser window.

Unfortunately this doesn't work on KDE (tested on F43 KDE Live RC 1.4). We need to figure out a way to make anaconda crash on KDE (possibly talk to the anaconda team about it).

It should work on Workstation at least. On KDE webui is no longer run in Firefox but in a kinda custom web view thing called slitherer. We probably need help from @ngompa because he wrote it.

You're right, it still works on GNOME. I updated the description, just KDE is affected.

I think we can close this? We found the instructions are correct, but this is just a bug in slitherer, so our work here is done.

According to the bugzilla ticket it's not a bug, but changes need to be done in Anaconda. I reassigned that ticket.

We can close this, but we probably want to be aware of this until it's resolved, and poke Anaconda if it's not happening. Otherwise we will have no test coverage for bug reporting on KDE.

I at least updated the testcase with a link to this ticket, so that we can find it later.

The fix was pushed:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2431541

In the github PR, it says:

Now one can test the Report dialog, by running systemctl stop anaconda.

We need to test whether this applies to all desktops. If it does, let's have unified instructions for all desktops. In any case, we need to update https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_Anaconda_save_traceback_to_bugzilla .

@psklenar will you take this, or should I?

Add disconnection detection
Now one can test the `Report dialog`, by running removing
`/run/anaconda/backend_ready` file.

Resolves: rhbz#2431541

@kparal

removing /run/anaconda/backend_ready really triggers Report dialog on both KDE and GNOME.

I have updated https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_Anaconda_save_traceback_to_bugzilla#How_to_test_on_Anaconda_WebUI

Can we close this one?

I tested it and it works fine!

Btw, I think this is probably needlessly detailed:

Access the Console:
On Workstation (GNOME): Open the Activities Overview by pressing the Super key (Windows key) or moving your cursor to the top-left corner of the screen. Launch the Terminal app.
On KDE: Open the application launcher by pressing the Super key (Windows key) and search for Konsole.

I don't expect anyone who doesn't know how to open a terminal to participate in release validation (and if they do, they're not likely to help much), so I'd just say "Open terminal and run...". But that's just my two cents, your version is of course OK as well.

Closing, thanks for working on this!

Backlog Status
Needs Review
Work items that have been created or updated but need review, refinement, or approval before they can be considered ready for sprint planning.

  
Backlog Status
Ready
Work items that have been reviewed, refined, and are ready to be committed to a sprint. These items have clear requirements and can be worked on immediately when capacity is available.

  
chore

Work that needs to be done but doesn't add new functionality or fix bugs. Maintenance tasks that keep the system running smoothly and the codebase clean.

  
documentation

Work focused on creating, updating, or improving documentation for users, developers, or system administrators.

  
points
01
A task that is simple, small, and has very little uncertainty. It should be easy enough for any team member to pick up and complete quickly, without a lot of discussion or research.

  
points
02
This is a task that is slightly more complex or larger than a "1." It might involve two or three simple steps, but the outcome is still very clear and there's little uncertainty.

  
points
03
Medium-sized task with some noticeable complexity. It might require a bit more thought or collaboration. The steps are well-defined, but it's not a trivial change.

  
points
05
A significant piece of work. It has more complexity and a higher degree of uncertainty than smaller tasks. It might require some research, a design discussion, or collaboration across multiple teams.

  
points
08
Complex task with a lot of uncertainty. It's often the largest size that a team will consider for a single sprint. It likely requires a detailed breakdown and multiple team members to complete.

  
points
13
Any task that feels like it's a "13" or more is considered an Epic. These are too large and uncertain to be worked on in a single sprint and should be broken down.

  
Priority
Critical
This is for work that is urgent and of critical importance and so and must be addressed immediately with a higher priority than all other work, even if not originally planned for the current sprint.

  
Priority
High
This is for work that is critical and needs to be addressed in the next sprint. It's often for urgent bugs, important features, or a major piece of technical debt that is blocking other work.

  
Priority
Low
This is for work that is good to do but not urgent. It's a candidate for being worked on when there's extra time or when it rises in importance. It can stay in the backlog for a longer period.

  
Priority
Medium
This is for important work that should be done soon, but isn't as urgent as a high-priority item. It will likely be considered for the next 1-2 sprints.

  
Sprint Status
Blocked
Work items that cannot progress due to external dependencies, blockers, or issues that need resolution.

  
Sprint Status
Done
Work items that have been completed, reviewed, and integrated. No further work is needed within the current sprint.

  
Sprint Status
In Progress
Work items currently being worked on by a team member. Active development, research, or implementation is happening.

  
Sprint Status
Review
Work items that are complete but need review, testing, or approval before being marked as done.

  
Sprint Status
To Do
Work items that are committed to the sprint but haven't been started yet. These items are ready to be picked up by team members.

  
Technical Debt

Work that addresses shortcuts, workarounds, or suboptimal implementations that were done previously to meet deadlines. These items improve code quality, maintainability, or performance without adding new features.

  
Work Item
Bug
Issues where the system is not working as intended or designed. Bugs represent deviations from expected behavior.

  
Work Item
Epic
Large initiatives that are broken down into multiple smaller work items (user stories, tasks, bugs). Epics represent significant features or projects that span multiple sprints.

  
Work Item
Spike
Time-boxed research, investigation, or proof-of-concept work to reduce uncertainty or explore solutions. Spikes help inform future development decisions.

  
Work Item
Task
Used to break down larger user stories into smaller, manageable implementation pieces. They focus on the specific technical steps needed to deliver the user story's value.

  
Work Item
User Story
User-facing features or functionality that can be framed from a user perspective, describing what someone wants to accomplish and why.
