[Bug 1574706] [NEW] Disabling the welcome wizard doesn’t dismiss it

[Olivier Tilloy]

Public bug reported:

The autopkgtest helper script that sets up a phone for running autopilot
tests (https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/autopkgtest/autopkgtest.git/tree
/ssh-setup/adb) disables the welcome wizard and edges intro.

To disable the welcome wizard, it issues the following command:

    phablet-config welcome-wizard --disable

Which under the covers creates the following file on the device:
~/.config/ubuntu-system-settings/wizard-has-run.

Unity8 doesn’t seem to have any logic to discard the currently running
wizard when that file is created (maybe on purpose?).

This results in the phone under test still displaying the welcome wizard
when control is handed off to the app’s autopkgtests, so autopilot tests
will most likely fail because the app being launched is displayed under
the wizard.

I’m not sure whether not dismissing the wizard when the "wizard-has-run"
file is being created is intentional. If it is, then the autopkgtest
helper script needs additional logic to restart unity8 and unlock the
screen.
