Description
On a local openQA instance, I get the following error:
[2018-10-12T13:57:50.0349 CEST] [error] UEFI_PFLASH_VARS handling Cannot find UEFI_PFLASH_VARS asset hdd//usr/share/qemu/aavmf-aarch64-vars.bin!
I think in locate_local_assets here https://github.com/os-autoinst/openQA/blob/master/lib/OpenQA/Worker/Engines/isotovideo.pm#L291
UEFI_PFLASH_VARS var is not found in asset dir, print a warning and finnaly is set to undef
Apparently, the problem is not seen on aarch64 worker from openqa.opensuse.org. My guess is it is because it uses caches, so the functions called may be different.

This is an EFI job for aarch64.

I see, then I don't immediately know, sorry.
I think the workaround is to copy or link /usr/share/qemu/aavmf-aarch64-vars.bin to /var/lib/openqa/share/factory/hdd and make sure UEFI_PFLASH_VARS is just set to aavmf-aarch64-vars.bin instead of the full path.

Yes, this is more or less the root cause.

@ggardet_arm is this still an issue?
I did not try since a while. Maybe better to create a testcase within o3? ;)

sure, why not. The test openqa_bootstrap on x86_64 is a good reference for aarch64 and could be used there as well. However given that this ticket states a potential solution (or workaround) let's cover that in a dedicated ticket -> #52556
