The respective bits are (afaict):

 - role: standard-test-rpm
   subjects: python3-devel
   tags:
     -always

ftr, I need the role because otherwise my standard-test-source role fails, it needs python3-devel for pathfix.py during the rpmbuild stage.

The problem seems to be with the variables.

In https://pagure.io/standard-test-roles/blob/master/f/roles/standard-test-rpm/tasks/main.yml#_3 the item supposed to be the package name taken from the subjects: variable

But in the log we seeitem=/workDir/workspace/fedora-rawhide-pr-pipeline/images/test_subject.qcow2

I think it is because how the pipeline calls the playbook:https://github.com/CentOS-PaaS-SIG/ci-pipeline/blob/master/config/Dockerfiles/singlehost-test/package-test.sh#L129

From my understanding we should not use extra-vars to set subjects neither artifacts. We don't support those variables on STR inventories, but STI [1] says it should be supported... So my suggestion would be to change to standard-test-rpm to use different variable name instead of subjects.

    MUST execute the playbook with the following Ansible variables.

        subjects: The test subjects string as described above
        artifacts: The full path of an empty folder for test artifacts
