Observation¶

In https://suse.slack.com/archives/C02CANHLANP/p1733387213049919 asmorodskyi stated that a command like openqa-clone-job --skip-chained-deps --parental-inheritance --within-instance autobot.qe.nue2.suse.org 4429 … would yield an error message

failed to get job '2': 404 Not Found at /usr/share/openqa/script/../lib/OpenQA/Script/CloneJob.pm line 76.

so it seems that openqa-clone-job $host $job_id does not correctly evaluate the $job_id parameter. Instead openqa-clone-job $url_to_job works fine. The help text of openqa-clone-job states in examples and in the explanation that $host $job_id works so we should ensure that this is properly working and covered in tests.

Acceptance criteria¶

• AC1: Both alternative argument combinations $host $job_id and $url_to_job clone the correct referenced job
• AC2: The help text aligns with supported argument combinations

Suggestions¶

• Try out how a command line like the one from the observation behaves. If in doubt work with @asmorodskyi to reproduce the error
• Add test coverage
• Fix the missing part

Workaround¶

Use openqa-clone-job $url_to_job
