action #59394
open[qe-core][functional] Overwrite empty ISO variable everywhere where not needed, i.e. `+ISO=`, to prevent useless ISO downloading and storage
0%
Description
Motivation¶
By default we pass "ISO" to all jobs even when it is not needed, e.g. in downstream jobs booting HDD. This causes useless downloads to the worker for each job as well as on each cloning. See #33946 for details. This can be prevented with a simple +ISO= in all test suites that do not actually need the ISO.
Suggestions¶
- Add
+ISO=to all test suites booting HDD images and not relying on the ISO - Crosscheck test results

ok, only hadded +ISO= to "boot_to_snapshot" as I have tested this scenario. https://openqa.opensuse.org/admin/test_suites shows 337 test suites mentionting "HDD_1=". Some need the ISO, e.g. "external_iso". For the most I am not sure if the ISO is not enabled as repo and used during install so I will leave this for now. I recommend to check the scenarios if the ISO is actually enabled and then just switch all, e.g. using API or DB update.

I'm not sure if that's the right solution. If iso gets removed, we won't be able to regenerate the image, so having setting will help us. On the worker side, copying definitely can be improved by not doing so if we boot into the image and iso is not used as a repo (like in the case of repoless installer). So we are not going to change test suites in our job group in order to have chance to re-generate images.

There should still be the ISO variable for all jobs that rely on the ISO, e.g. create_hdd_…. I don't think having the ISO referenced in more tests ensures that the image would stay around longer effectively.

Lot of busy work, setting to blocked until api call in #38807 is provided
