Description Stefan Stanacar 2013-07-10 11:39:22 UTC 
Now that the new qemu image test class has been merged  we should use to run the sanity tests on the AB.
This means enabling the option in the RunSanityTest step and change some buildsets to use the new option.

I already have something cooking up:

However I get a nice buildbot traceback with the first patch and right now I'm stuck, because it really shouldn't happen.
Seems the getProperty("poky_branch") is at fault, but I have no idea why.
Comment 2 Stefan Stanacar 2013-07-10 12:43:56 UTC 
I think I've sorted this out: __init__ is too early to get properties.
Properties aren't available until the step starts as __init__ runs during config parsing, so I moved the command to "start" (if I had just looked at other buildsteps earlier):
(instead of the first link)

I'll send the patches on the ML for review shortly.
