Can the gitlab CI download stuff or does it expect it to be in local cache already where you need to put it somehow beforehand? I think Philippe said something about that before but I did not quite get it as I don't know neither avocado nor gitlab. Hope Philippe is reading it and can chime in.

Gitlab CI can download stuff. But note that the error above is not avocado, it's hmp.
It expects a firmware file to be available, and I'm not entirely sure it'll make any
effort (e.g. downloading it) aside from checking if the file exists.

Not sure if dropping the avocado test would remediate the situation, but noted.

For now let's push stuff upstream. We have the freeze window to make smaller
adjustments if needed.
