1.7.1 QA Checklist

The 1.7.1 is a bugfix release, intended to resolve https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop/issues/5757. The test plan is therefore abbreviated compared to a standard minor version change.

Environment

  • Tails version:
  • Test Scenario:
  • SSH over Tor:

Preparing the environment

In order to confirm resolution of the bug affecting configuration logic, you must first reproduce the error by editing the config.

  1. Perform fresh install of 1.7.0 prod, create journalist account, confirm login.
  2. SSH into app server, edit /var/www/securedrop/config.py and comment out the SESSION_EXPIRATION_MINUTES line.
  3. Run sudo service apache2 restart
  4. Observe 500s on both Source & Journalist interfaces.

Now you're ready to proceed with the upgrade of application version, and evaluate the fix.

Performing the upgrade

We'll prepare the packages for 1.7.1 and post them on https://apt-qa.freedom.press/. In order to upgrade:

  1. SSH into app server
  2. Edit /etc/apt/security.list and change apt.freedom.press to apt-qa.freedom.press.
  3. Run sudo cron-apt -i -s as described in https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop-docs/pull/142
  4. Confirm working Source & Journalist Interfaces. Proceed with functional review of webapp as normal, see below.
