steps to reproduce¶

• login on https://openqa.opensuse.org
• go to https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/242805#step/grub_test/1
• click "Create new needle"
• Observe error display
• Optional: Observe logs on o3:/var/log/openqa

problem¶

The needle got deleted after the test ran. The needle editor should not crash but probably just ignore this needle from being parsed.

suggestions¶

• Handle non-existing needles gracefully

further details¶

related to https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/13192

original content from lnussel:
Looks like needles that got cleaned up are not shown at all in such screens:
https://openqa.opensuse.org/tests/97538/modules/bootloader/steps/1

The needle editor even throws. The no longer available needles should be listed but marked as no longer existing instead

workaround¶

Retrigger job which should cause the current set of needles loaded and then again open the needle editor on only present candidates.
