Hmmm that was not how I was hoping it would work.

Is there a way to make the build create the files?

...I just found efi_capsule_data()

I really don't like this at all...it is running a part of the build
system in the test. We have to do this in some cases, e.g. for tracing
we must run with a special build of sandbox, but it should not be
necessary for EFI capsules.

I would really like the sandbox build to produce the capsules needed
for tests, without any extra effort. As it is, there is no way to try
this out.
