webUI test suite webUISharingExternal failing on Travis

[phil-davis]

It fails in all browsers with some problem where the output gets stuck:

Feature: Federation Sharing - sharing with users on other cloud storages
  As a user
  I want to share files with any users on other cloud storages
  So that other users have access to these files
  Background:                                                                            # /home/[secure]/build/owncloud/core/tests/acceptance/features/webUISharingExternal/federationSharing.feature:7
    Given these users have been created:                                                 # FeatureContext::theseUsersHaveBeenCreated()
      | username | password | displayname | email        |
      | user1    | 1234     | User One    | u1@oc.com.np |
      | user2    | 1234     | User Two    | u2@oc.com.np |
    And the user has browsed to the login page                                           # WebUILoginContext::theUserBrowsesToTheLoginPage()
    And the user has logged in with username "user2" and password "1234" using the webUI # WebUILoginContext::theUserLogsInWithUsernameAndPasswordUsingTheWebUI()
  Scenario: test the single steps of federation sharing                                                               # /home/[secure]/build/owncloud/core/tests/acceptance/features/webUISharingExternal/federationSharing.feature:15
    When the user shares the folder "simple-folder" with the remote user "user1@%remote_server%" using the webUI      # WebUISharingContext::theUserSharesTheFileFolderWithTheUserUsingTheWebUI()
    And the user shares the folder "simple-empty-folder" with the remote user "user1@%remote_server%" using the webUI # WebUISharingContext::theUserSharesTheFileFolderWithTheUserUsingTheWebUI()
    And the user re-logs in with username "user1" and password "1234" to "http://%remote_server%" using the webUI     # WebUILoginContext::theUserRelogsInWithUsernameAndPasswordToUsingTheWebUI()
    Then dialogs should be displayed on the webUI                                                                     # WebUIGeneralContext::dialogsShouldBeDisplayedOnTheWebUI()
      | title        | content                                                                              |
      | Remote share | Do you want to add the remote share /simple-folder from user2@%local_server%/?       |
      | Remote share | Do you want to add the remote share /simple-empty-folder from user2@%local_server%/? |
    When the user accepts the offered remote shares                                                                   # WebUISharingContext::theUserAcceptsTheOfferedRemoteShares()
    Then the folder "simple-folder (2)" should be listed on the webUI                                                 # WebUIFilesContext::theFileFolderShouldBeListedOnTheWebUI()
    When the user opens the folder "simple-folder (2)" using the webUI                                                # WebUIFilesContext::theUserOpensTheFolderNamedUsingTheWebUI()
    Then the file "lorem.txt" should be listed on the webUI                                                           # WebUIFilesContext::theFileFolderShouldBeListedOnTheWebUI()

We want the daily Travis cron job to still work, because it tests other browsers, specially Edge and IE11.

GitMate.io thinks possibly related issues are #22492 (test), #22485 (test), #16182 (smashbox test test_shareFile fails), #10349 (Debian testing upgrade fails), and #27749 (Selenium tests failing).

Looking better, but last night there were fails in the stable10 webUIManageUsersGroups suite (which only exists in stable10).
Need to review again the results of the nightly Travis cron.

Other PRs with bits-and-pieces that help reduce noise and fixed some issues cleaning up groups during tests:
#31002
#31009
#31013
it must be getting close - let's see the nightly cron job again...

[phil-davis]

All tests can pass now on Travis nightly cron.
The remaining "transitory" fails are:

• Edge Personal Settings tries to go to the personal settings page, and often complains:

  Scenario: New password is same as current password                                                                                        # /home/[secure]/build/owncloud/core/tests/acceptance/features/webUIPersonalSettings/changePasswordFromSetting.feature:24
    And the user has browsed to the personal general settings page                                                                          # WebUIPersonalGeneralSettingsContext::theUserBrowsesToThePersonalGeneralSettingsPage()
      exception 'SensioLabs\Behat\PageObjectExtension\PageObject\Exception\UnexpectedPageException' with message 'Expected to be on "http://owncloud:8889/index.php/settings/personal?sectionid=general" but found "http://owncloud:8889/index.php/apps/files/?dir=/&fileid=249" instead' in /home/[secure]/build/owncloud/core/lib/composer/sensiolabs/behat-page-object-extension/src/SensioLabs/Behat/PageObjectExtension/PageObject/Page.php:217

see issue #31021

• IE11 webUIManageQuota and other suites on IE11 get No output has been received in the last 10m0s, this potentially indicates a stalled build or something wrong with the build itself. Not sure there is much can be done about this easily. It might be some annoying IE webDriver hang/lockup.

• IE11 webUITrashbin webUIRestrictSharing and other IE11 suites sometimes get:

  Scenario: Select some files and delete from trashbin in a batch                    # /home/[secure]/build/owncloud/core/tests/acceptance/features/webUITrashbin/trashbinDelete.feature:34
    And the user has logged in with username "user1" and password "1234" using the webUI # WebUILoginContext::theUserLogsInWithUsernameAndPasswordUsingTheWebUI()
      exception 'WebDriver\Exception\CurlExec' with message 'Payload received from webdriver is not valid json: <html><body><h1>504 Gateway Time-out</h1>
      The server didn't respond in time.

this is another manifestation of some "IE webDriver hang/lockup"
see issue #31022

Closing here, I have raised issues for the remaining "will be annoying and difficult to investigate and fix" issues.
