coordination #162551: [epic] Extend needle version control handling - part 2
webui fails to display needles when using a git repository as CASEDIR
0%
Description
The openQA webui implicitly searches for the needles in /var/lib/openqa/share/tests/$DISTRI/needles even when one overrides CASEDIR. The crux in this is, that os-autoinst actually does find the needles in the "correct" location (= $CASEDIR/needles). Only in the webui it looks like no needles could be found, because it does not automatically look in $CASEDIR/needles.
This issue can be reproduced by creating a new job and use a git repository as CASEDIR. I have for instance used https://github.com/dcermak/kiwi-functional-tests#basic_functional_test, which includes the needles in the needles/ subdir. os-autoinst finds all present needles, but the webui does not.

This looks similar to #56789. I've described the general problem (and some ideas to overcome it) with custom needles and the web UI here: #56789#note-21 #56789#note-35

@mkittler right, similar to #56789 but not exactly the same as here we have a case of needles that are part of CASEDIR, not a separate repo. Thanks for bringing in the right ticket connections.
@dancermak I was not aware that you want to use needles from a custom git repo, would have told you that this feature is not yet supported :D
