Can't make the date?
If you come to this page before or after the test day is completed, your testing is still valuable, and you can use the information on this page to test, file any bugs you find at Bugzilla, and add your results to the results section. If this page is more than a month old when you arrive here, please check the current schedule and see if a similar but more recent Test Day is planned or has already happened.

What to test?[edit]

Today's installment of Fedora Test Day will focus on Upgrade Test Day

Who's available[edit]

The following cast of characters will be available testing, workarounds, bug fixes, and general discussion. In case of problem related to test day organization/wiki/whatever, please reach out to sumantrom.

Development - jmracek (jmracek) , kalev (kalev)
Quality Assurance - Adam Williamson (adamw), Kamil Paral (kparal), frantisekz (frantisekz), Sumantro Mukherjee (sumantrom),

Prerequisite for Test Day[edit]

A system (real or virtual) you can install Fedora to, and not mind if it breaks
A Fedora 39 image: download Workstation or Server or KDE and other spins
For Previous Test Cases: download Fedora 38
Make sure to use the latest version of dnf for F39 is installed

How to test?[edit]

Upgrade Fedora with dnf system upgrade:

Use these commands to first ensure you have latest packages, install system upgrade, download and reboot with the new version. Example upgrade to Fedora 40.

   sudo dnf upgrade --refresh
   sudo dnf install dnf-plugin-system-upgrade
   sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=40
   sudo dnf system-upgrade reboot

Another test option is to use gnome-software, good if you can test in this way too!

Run the tests[edit]

Visit the result page and click on the column title links to see the tests that need to be run: most column titles are links to a specific test case. Follow the instructions there, then enter your results by clicking the Enter result button for the test.

Reporting bugs[edit]

If you have problems with any of the tests, report a bug to Bugzilla usually for the component dnf. If you are unsure about exactly how to file the report or what other information to include, just ask on IRC and we will help you.

Anaconda will display an error dialog allowing you to report the problem to Bugzilla. This will also automatically attach logs, error message and traceback to the report -- this way of reporting bugs is preferred.
