The toolbox(1) binary always relies on the PATH environment variable to find the podman(1) and skopeo(1) binaries. There's no way to override those with the PODMAN and SKOPEO environment variables, and they only affect any direct use of podman(1) and skopeo(1) within the test suite. Therefore, offering the PODMAN and SKOPEO environment variables in their current form is needlessly confusing and misleading, and can lead to surprises arising from different podman(1) and skopeo(1) binaries being used in different places. Either toolbox(1) should also honour them or the test suite shouldn't offer them. The former is more complicated without any obvious need for it, so the latter was chosen. containers#1592
It shouldn't be necessary to use the --assumeyes option when creating a Toolbx container, if the corresponding image is already present in the local containers/storage image store. It's harmful to test it with the option, even when it shouldn't be needed, because it's off by default and most users won't enable it. Therefore, it's better to test the most common scenario that most users will encounter. containers#1595

The system tests can be very I/O intensive, because many of them copy OCI images from the test suite's image cache directory to its local container/storage store, create containers, and then delete everything to run the next test with a clean slate. This makes them slow. In the case of these two particular tests, toolbox(1) is supposed to validate the command line options before trying to find the image. So, there's no need to copy the image from the test suite's image cache directory to its local container/storage store. If the toolbox(1) code breaks, then either it won't throw the expected error or it will download the image before validating the command line options. The first possibility will be easily detected. The other could have been harder to notice, but, fortunately, commit 55c0e63 added variants of these tests without the --assumeyes option and there are other tests to ensure that images cannot be downloaded without that option. So, any unexpected attempts to download the image will be caught by those variants of these tests. Fallout from 32b147b containers#1595

Currently, there's no way to get assert_line to use the stderr_lines array [1]. This is worked around by assigning stderr_lines to the 'lines' array. [1] bats-core/bats-assert#42 containers#1595
