Description Jonathan Rivrain 2021-01-22 15:08:08 UTC 
## Observation

Yast2 lan reports an error if we introduce a typo in ifcfg file.

To reproduce:
sed -i 's/dhcp/dgcp/' /etc/sysconfig/network/ifcfg-eth0
start yast2 lan

openQA test in scenario sle-15-SP3-Online-x86_64-yast2_gui@64bit fails in
[yast2_lan_typo](http://waaa-amazing.suse.cz/tests/14117/modules/yast2_lan_typo/steps/16)

## Test suite description



## Reproducible

Fails since (at least) Build [129.9](http://waaa-amazing.suse.cz/tests/14117) (current job)


## Expected result

Last good: (unknown) (or more recent)


## Further details

Always latest result in this scenario: [latest](http://waaa-amazing.suse.cz/tests/latest?arch=x86_64&distri=sle&flavor=Online&machine=64bit&test=yast2_gui&version=15-SP3)

We probably should report a better error report in these cases and just warn the user about a wrong configuration.

Hi, we added a new test module in which we test several errors in those files, here: http://waaa-amazing.suse.cz/tests/14316#step/yast2_lan_ifcfg_errors/1. Obviously, an infinity of errors could be made in a hand-edited config file. What we could see is that in case of errors introduced in the files there is no warning in the Yast module, except for the one reported here. I don't know how hard it would be to implement some form of validation of the file and some warning like "The file has been modified manually, Yast may behave inconsistently", but I'd suggest something like that.
