Description

Motivation

See the unexpected current default behaviour in #94735

Acceptance criteria

  • AC1: For test distributions that include needles when tests triggered with git URL pointing to test repo by default needles from that repo should be used and not a non-git default repo

Suggestions

Discussed with mkittler and cdywan. We propose to shift more logic into os-autoinst and implement an additional keyword so that os-autoinst looks up only a fallback needles repo in case needles are not found anywhere else. Also we assume that os-autoinst is easier to change and maintain. The current proposal is to use NEEDLES_DIR=[<keyword>]<dir>, e.g. NEEDLES_DIR=[fallback]my/productdir/needles for a relative fallback directory. The only suggested to be supported keyword should be "fallback" for now.

  • In os-autoinst parse keyword from NEEDLES_DIR
  • If "[fallback]" then try to find needles in all default paths, e.g. subdir of casedir, productdir, etc., only if not found look up in the fallback one
  • Prepare setting fallback in openQA Worker/Engines/isotovideo.pm but do not merge yet
  • Deploy new feature in os-autoinst
  • Wait grace period
  • Deploy openQA feature
