The virConnectGetDomainCapabilities API accepts either a binary path to the emulator, or desired guest arch. If guest arch is not given, then the host arch is assumed. In the case where the binary is not given, the code tried to find the emulator binary in the existing list of cached emulator capabilities. This is not valid since we switched to lazy population of the cache in: commit 3dd91af01f30c5bda6328454ef49f3afece755d6 Author: Daniel P. Berrangé <berrange@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon Dec 2 13:04:26 2019 +0000 qemu: stop creating capabilities at driver startup As a result of this change, if there are no persistent guests defined using the requested guest architecture, virConnectGetDomainCapabilities will fail to find an emulator binary. The solution is to stop relying on the cached capabilities to find the binary and instead use the same logic we use to pick default a binary per arch when populating capabilities.
This does fix the problem for machines with no persistent guests, but breaks domcapabilities for machines where there is no QEMU in the default location - before this patch I'd get domcapabilities for /usr/libexec/qemu-git (taken from the persistent config), after I get an error: error: failed to get emulator capabilities error: Cannot check QEMU binary /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm: No such file or directory Should we keep the cache lookup as a fallback or vice-versa?

virQEMUCapsGetDefaultEmulator returns an allocated string so it needs to be freed. Jano
