So, I need to create 2 different scripts, a11yservice.py will run > as regular user and a11yclient.py will run as Hudson user. Before we continue, thanks for your detailed and quick responses! Now to the next set of questions :) Why are these two lines not run via a11yclient? # Enable accessibility on the "hudson" user gconftool-2 --set --type bool /desktop/gnome/interface/accessibility true </blockquote><div> </div><div>If accessibility is not enabled, then we need to enable it, this command have changed as the underlying libraries changed from CORBA to DBUS. It should be gsettings. If accessibility is enabled and the following screensaver-saver is disabled (manually), then you can ignore this and the following step. Screensaver suspends the accessibility daemon activity, to run our test continuously, we need to disable screensaver.</div> <div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> # Accessibility test will hang, if screensaver started during the test gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/gnome-screensaver/idle_activation_enabled false Are they still effective if you run them with the Hudson/root user? </blockquote><div> </div><div>With Hudson user, yes its effective.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> >> >> Do you see any possibility to run LDTP tests in xvfb?

If the tests are invoked like this: /usr/bin/a11yclient.py 'xterm -e "cd mago;PYTHONPATH=. ./bin/mago --noa11y -a gedit"' Or in my case with something similar to: /usr/bin/a11yclient.py 'xterm -e "...;nosetests core/ui/gui/tests/"' All I'll get from nosetests (which is the test runner I use in my project) is the stderr and stdout, correct? In other words, if I want to debug the unittest or do anything else it will be completely unaccessible because of the a11yclient / xterm combination; correct? </blockquote><div> </div><div>Yes, you are correct. Its not recommended to rely stdout / stderr with subprocess, as it consumes memory, maybe I would suggest to write some log file, while running the test.</div> <div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"> Instead of using the .desktop shortcut, have you tried to start the a11y server in xinitrc.hudson?
