Bug #13469
Bug #10288: Fix newly identified issues to make our test suite more robust and faster
Starting applications "via GNOME Activities Overview" step is fragile
0%
Description
Test suite fails with:
FindFailed: can not find GnomeActivitiesOverview.png
Happened 14 times in June 2017, 21 for what logs we have.
It does open the Gnome applications menu though, as shown by the screenshot.
Maybe the SUPER key press is lost, or we have to bump a bit the waiting time for the Gnome activities overview panel to be displayed?

And that's precisely why the Overview does not open: the SUPER key is ignored when the Applications menu is open.

… so I believe neither of these will work.
Last time we had a similar issue (#11401), it was caused by one of our hacks that clicked in the wrong place and opened the Applications menu as a result. I suspect it's the same here. Can you please attach the debug log and video?

I've noticed another source of fragility here: sometimes the Overview opens just fine, we type our query (in my case, "Disks") but there's no search results. Looking at the Journal, I notice that starting to type a search query in the Overview triggers the startup of a number of DBus services (org.gnome.ControlCenter.SearchProvider, org.gnome.Nautilus, org.gnome.Calculator.SearchProvider, org.gnome.seahorse.Application). It looks like there's a bug in GNOME Shell here.

One year later, I'm giving up.

I've implemented a workaround for this problem (a1d045bd167e47d620d6c2b22259bf6a946e9a21) and it seems to work so far.
But that does not address the other robustness issue that bertagaz has reported here.
