There are two totally opposite use cases for how a premirror is
expected to behave in combination with specifying a downloadfilename=
parameter in the SRC_URI. On the one hand there is the expectation
that it works like any other mirror, which means the premirror is
expected to contain a file with the original name specified in the
SRC_URI. On the other hand there is the expectation that one can use
the artefacts downloaded by bitbake in ${DL_DIR} as a premirror, in
which case it is expected to contain a file with the name from the
downloadfilename= parameter.
The latter case has been how downloaded files have been handled until
commit 8a3ff9f3 (fetch2: fix premirror URI when downloadfilename
defined), where the fetcher was changed to store files as per the
first case. This is also when the test_npm_premirrors test case was
modified in commit 5ba191a0 (tests/fetch: add and fix npm tests) to
expect the first case.
The above change was later reverted in commit 96c30007 (fetch2: fix
downloadfilename issue with premirror). However the
test_npm_premirrors test case was not updated to match, and has been
failing ever since. This has probably gone unnoticed because the npm
related test cases require that npm is installed on the host.
This commit updates test_npm_premirrors to expect that premirrors use
the filenames specified by downloadfilename= as this matches the
current fetcher implementation and also is the most likely use case
for premirrors. It also tries to mimic how one typically might setup
the premirror directory by simply copying the download directory.

Bitbake
BitBake is a generic task execution engine that allows shell and Python tasks to be run efficiently and in parallel while working within complex inter-task dependency constraints. One of BitBake's main users, OpenEmbedded, takes this core and builds embedded Linux software stacks using a task-oriented approach.
For information about Bitbake, see the OpenEmbedded website: https://www.openembedded.org/
Bitbake plain documentation can be found under the doc directory or its integrated html version at the Yocto Project website: https://docs.yoctoproject.org
Contributing
Please refer to https://www.openembedded.org/wiki/How_to_submit_a_patch_to_OpenEmbedded for guidelines on how to submit patches, just note that the latter documentation is intended for OpenEmbedded (and its core) not bitbake patches (bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org) but in general main guidelines apply. Once the commit(s) have been created, the way to send the patch is through git-send-email. For example, to send the last commit (HEAD) on current branch, type:
git send-email -M -1 --to bitbake-devel@lists.openembedded.org

Testing:
Bitbake has a testsuite located in lib/bb/tests/ whichs aim to try and prevent regressions. You can run this with "bitbake-selftest". In particular the fetcher is well covered since it has so many corner cases. The datastore has many tests too. Testing with the testsuite is recommended before submitting patches, particularly to the fetcher and datastore. We also appreciate new test cases and may require them for more obscure issues.
