            Bug ID: 48208
           Summary: Detect missing entry point errors
           Product: Wine-Testbot
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: unknown
          Assignee: wine-bugs at winehq.org
          Reporter: fgouget at codeweavers.com
      Distribution: ---

When a Windows test executable cannot run because of a missing test executable
the TestBot remains stuck until the 2 minutes timeout. This is because Windows
puts up an error dialog waiting for user input. In such a case the test report
is almost empty and the issue is not obvious until one looks at the screenshot.
The TestBot should detect such a situation and warn the user.

One simple approach would be for the TestBot to detect that the test report
only contains the TestLauncher's start and done lines and indicates a timeout.
In such a case it could add a message to the .err file suggesting to check the
screenshot. This would only be a heuristic though.

A better approach would be for the TestLauncher to detect the error dialog.
Ideally, instead of waiting for the child process for the full 2 minutes it
would periodically check for the presence of this dialog, which would also
speed up the task run. This approach could also be used by WineTest.exe, though
presumably missing entry points would have been detected before making it into
the Wine source.
