Description
Observation¶
ybonatakis reported a problem that he fails to successfully run a cloned UEFI Tumbleweed test onto their openSUSE Tumbleweed 20190704 . The package qemu-ovmf-x86_64 is installed but apparently in newer versions it does not ship the file /usr/share/qemu/ovmf-x86_64-ms.bin anymore which the openQA tests reference in the variable "BIOS".
Problem¶
os-autoinst still adds the BIOS and UEFI_PFLASH variables referencing the shared code+vars file but also complains that the deprecated BIOS and UEFI_PFLASH variables are used.
Workaround¶
The following adjustements to vars.json are necessary:
