Description of Changes
Progress towards #4013, if there are no issues with the below then I will file followup issues for each class of app test failure
As mentioned in #4013, that bug was one of several issues that are surfaced by running the application test suite on Ubuntu Xenial.
In the next couple of weeks we are planning to make a lot of changes here in SecureDrop core to ensure that SecureDrop works as expected for Xenial. To support faster iterations and multiple developers to help out with this effort, I'm proposing in this PR that we add a CI job that runs the Xenial app tests on develop (in addition to the CI job that runs the Trusty app tests). This job is expected to fail until all app issues are resolved.
Why? Because this will be far, far faster than:
Thoughts?
Testing
Are there now two CI jobs running here:
xenial-app-tests
andtrusty-app-tests
, where trusty passes but xenial does not?Can you now
make test-xenial
locally and run tests, that will fail?Deployment
This is CI and dev env only
