Release notes: https://github.com/swaywm/sway/releases/tag/1.7
Notable (backward incompatible) changes:
- The default terminal changed from Alacritty to foot
Known issues:
- `swaynag` will crash when Sway 1.6.1 is still running while the Nix
package (and thus `swaynag`) is already updated to version 1.7.
- The experimental Ozone/Wayland support of Electron apps will be broken
for a while. Electron version 17 should work but the Chromium fixes
haven't yet been backported to Electron version 16.
NixOS module: programs.sway.extraPackages: The "alacritty" package was
replaced with "foot".
VM test: We switched from the OpenGL ES 2.0 renderer to Pixman. The
terminal was also changed to foot but Alacritty is still used for the
XWayland test (since foot doesn't support X11).

Replace sleep() calls where possible, using wait_for_* methods. This
should provide more robustness in cases where tests are running on a
congested system.
Add test coverage for the enableConfiguredRecompile option, checking
that we can compile and exec a new xmonad from a user's local config, as
well as restart the originally configured xmonad.
As I needed a reliable way to wait for recompilation to finish before
proceeding with subsequent test steps, I adjusted the startup behavior
to write a file ("oldXMonad" or "newXMonad") to /etc upon startup, and
replaced some "sleep" calls with "wait_for_file".
This removes `/run/nixos/activation-reload-list` (which we will need in
the future when reworking the reload logic) and makes
`/run/nixos/activation-restart-list` honor `restartIfChanged` and
`reloadIfChanged`. This way activation scripts don't have to bother with
choosing between reloading and restarting.
The tsm-client needs a tsm-server to do anything useful.
Without a server, automated tests can just
check diagnostic outputs for plausibility.
The commit at hand adds two tests:
1.
The command line interface `dsmc` is called,
then it is verified that the program does
* report the correct client version,
* find its configuration file,
* report a connection error.
2.
To check the GUI (and the tsm-client nixos module), we add a
vm test which uses the module to install `tsm-client-withGui`.
To verify that the GUI's basic functionality is present,
we skip over all connection failure related error
messages and open the "Connection Information"
dialog from the main application window.
This dialog presents the node name and the client version;
both are verified by the test.
Note: Our `tsm-client` build recipe consists of two packages:
The "unwrapped" package and the final package.
This commit puts the unwrapped one into the final
package's `passthru` so that tests can access
the original version string that is needed to check
the client version reported by the application.
The test has been broken for some time and the test errors are
non-obvious. None of the current maintainers know how to fix it so it is
better to get rid of it then to keep a continously failing test.
