Describe the QA issue

While running GUI tests, some tests fails and the screenshots of those test failures has xfce login window.

Steps to reproduce the issue

Run GUI tests in CI

Screenshots

Failed Scenarios:

• logging out
• simple sharing of a file by public link with default expiration date
• simple sharing of a file by public link with password and expiration date.png
• simple sharing of file and folder by public link with expiration date.png

NOTE: We need to figure out whether the above tests failed due to this login window or not.

@amrita-shrestha @sushmita56 any tests that fail with this issue, please, report here. And close existing issues related to this.

That appears to be the system login screen?
And ah yes thats exactly what this issue is about 🙈

[saw-jan]

I suspect, this is also related with #9952
Authentication-popup is mainly caused by gnome-keyring-daemon

[amrita-shrestha]

Not sure if this scenario failed due to this issue or not.
Scenario: try to self-share a file/folder
Server log:
serverlog.log

It appears that no user is logged in, if no user is logged in the keychain(password storage backend) can be unavailable.
As only some tests fail, I have to think on auto log out after x min of inactivity.

Maybe use https://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/bionic/man1/caffeinate.1.html ?

So, I guess, this should be implemented in squish docker image while running squishrunner command.

Instead of using caffeinate, we came into the conclusion that disabling auto-lock would be the best approach for CI.

The possible fix PR has been merged but could not test this behavior due to the new issue.
Blocked until owncloud-ci/squish#34

Must be fixed by this PR #10046
