flaky "tests/test_repo.py::test_ssh_dialog" in 0.8.3

Hi,

In the interest of helping to prepare for 0.8.4, I thought I'd mention this flaky test (if you think it's fixed in HEAD, please let me know, and I'll upload to Debian experimental to gain the benefit of early CI). I'm reporting it in case it's something Vorta can and should work around.

This line is very dirty. Luckily BorgJob inherits BackupProfileMixin without using profile(). BorgJob is only a subclass of QObject although only subclasses of QWidget have the attribute window(). I think the reason for this test fail is a qt bug.

Hi!

Thank you for the quick reply :-)

So there's nothing Vorta can do to mitigate the Qt bug, for example by being less "dirty"?

I've also considered using QT_QPA_PLATFORM=offscreen rather than xvfb-run dbus-run-session, but I suspect it wouldn't support button click events.

Yes, there is. A little refactoring should do the job.

Although some qt internal warnings are displayed all the tests pass.

Fiouf, that's good news :) Would it be possible to schedule a late October soft deadline for this? That's usually about a month before a big Python release that breaks everything, and I'm hoping that late 2022 early 2023 can be less stressful than this last year.

Good to know :) I sounds like xvfb-run is marginally "better" for now though.
