Comment 1 Dan Callaghan 2017-10-25 22:55:36 UTC

Yuval Turgeman has posted a patch for this feature here:

https://github.com/beaker-project/beaker/pull/3

so we should review that and move it (or help Yuval to move it) onto Gerrit.

Comment 2 Dan Callaghan 2017-11-30 03:41:42 UTC

This is on Gerrit now as https://gerrit.beaker-project.org/5922

Comment 3 Anwesha Chatterjee 2018-01-16 22:24:25 UTC

Reverting to POST as missing bug footer in commit message is causing checkbugs failure

Comment 4 Anwesha Chatterjee 2018-01-16 23:53:10 UTC

https://gerrit.beaker-project.org/#/c/5974/ reverts the patch https://gerrit.beaker-project.org/#/c/5975/ resubmits it with a bug footer this time ;-)

Comment 6 Anwesha Chatterjee 2018-01-24 22:50:35 UTC

Verified that when the liveimg relative url is passed into the ks_meta attribute, in an RHVH provisioning job, the installation successfully locates the squashfs image.
Tested on beaker-devel, using this recipe:

Comment 7 Anwesha Chatterjee 2018-01-24 23:00:46 UTC

... Although, please note that beakerlib can't be installed because the testing RHVH4 distro does not have wget and net-tools

Comment 9 Dan Callaghan 2018-01-25 10:02:24 UTC

Interestingly, the dependency problems with beakerlib then also cause beah itself to fail to be installed, so the recipe never runs.

It might be worth separating those into separate yum transactions. So install beah and rhts-test-env first, then beakerlib, then beakerlib-redhat. In case either of the latter two fail. At least then the recipe would still run.

The question of why beakerlib requires wget and net-tools is maybe not as easy to solve, we should run it by Dalibor...

Dear Dalibor,

would you be able to comment about why beakerlib requires wget and net-tools? The problem is highlighted in comment 7.

Many thanks!

Verified that installation succeeds by running above job.
