As far as a test plan goes, I think this can mostly be done using the
localectl tool that is already shipped in the base snap. This exercises
the same D-Bus API that higher level tools like ubuntu-desktop-init use.
As a command line tool, it could likely be used by a spread test.
To test system locale changes, it might look something like this:
1. On a pristine Ubuntu Core system, run "localectl status". Verify that
the system locale is set to the default (seems to be "C.UTF-8" based on
the current core24 snap).
2. Modify the system locale by running "localectl set-locale
LANG=en_AU.UTF-8". The command should complete without error.
3. Check that the locale has changed by running "localectl status".
4. Check that the locale has been saved to /etc/locale.conf
5. Reboot the system, and run "localectl status" again to check that the
change has persisted.
Testing the key map changes is a little more difficult, since the
relevant commands have been patched out of our localectl:
$ localectl set-keymap foo
Setting X11 and console keymaps is not supported in Debian.
It should still be possible to call the D-Bus API directly via "busctl
call", but it will be a bit more verbose. Longer term, it might be worth
looking at whether we can drop the patch that disables set-keymap.
