did you define and pass to rpmbuild one of the variables which triggers 
the first branch of the test  ? By default these variables are not 
defined and therefore the whole branch is skipped.
in koji the needed variables are defined by the build environment but 
for local builds you must define them yourself, as appropriate for your 
use case.
