openQA Project (public)

Right observation. In fact, the web UI always shows the test code as it is available right now under $OPENQA_BASEDIR/openqa/share/tests. So the web UI also shows different code compared to what was actually executed in the case when the test code has been updated since the test was executed.

Since the worker and the web UI might not run on the same machine we can't simply use the path from the workers.ini to fix your use case. I suppose the worker would need to upload the test code like other artifacts to implement this.

But shouldn't the test in SHARE_DIRECTORY be executed when that is defined in workers.ini? In my case the test from SHARE_DIRECTORY is shown in the webui, but a different one is executed (the one in /var/lib/openqa). I edited the one in /var/lib/openqa and had another run: http://agraul-vm.qa.suse.de/tests/19#step/yast2_hostnames/15.
