Which tests are failing due to lack of wks files? All of the
oe-selftests in wic.py are passing for me.

Some oe-selftests generate wks files on the fly, and others use
pre-existing wks files; both scenarios work fine, and one doesn't depend
on the other. I don't understand how adding a wks file is related to
tests which generate their own wks files.

Whether or not a qcow2 image is created is not something over which the
wks file has control.
