fix(e2e): bound post-install-prep calls and make its failures name their cause - #4632
Conversation
The install step blocks in `wait` on this script, so a kubectl call that never returns does not fail the step: it holds it open until the job's own ceiling cancels the run, which leaves different evidence behind than a failed test. Only the waits carried a budget. The execs that create storage pools, the applies, the CDI patch, and the reads inside the LINSTOR node loop did not, and the loop's deadline is checked between iterations, on the other side of a call that hangs. The reads that explain a node-loop timeout were unbounded too, on the one path that runs only when the cluster is already unhealthy. Each call now runs under an outer timeout, and plain requests carry a client timeout strictly inside it so kubectl names the reason before the kill lands. The helpers take the bound as a prefix that stays empty when unit tests source them, since `timeout` would bypass the kubectl function those tests substitute.

The loop discarded stderr to stay quiet while an object is not created yet, since `kubectl wait` exits non-zero at once on NotFound. An expired credential or an RBAC denial exits the same way, so the loop retried a client that could never succeed for the whole budget and then reported a timeout on the object, pointing at the cluster while the cause sat in the client. Each attempt's stderr is now kept and printed whenever it changes, and the timeout line repeats the last one. A NotFound repeated every poll still costs a single line. The text is printed rather than matched to fail fast: apiserver restarts during install produce the same connection and auth errors transiently, and a match list would turn a slow link into a false failure.

When the linstor HelmRelease never goes Ready, the script reported a timeout on linstor and dumped the cozy-linstor pods and events. In two failing install runs the linstor release only sat behind a dependency chain (kubeovn -> piraeus-operator-crds -> piraeus-operator -> linstor), so the evidence it printed described the wrong release and said nothing about the one that was stuck. The timeout now lists every HelmRelease first. Each Ready message names the dependency it waits on, so the post-install-prep log names the release at the head of the chain.

Both waits ran as `timeout N sh -ec 'until kubectl get ...'` with the read's output discarded. On elapse `timeout` exits 124 and `set -e` ends the script, so the last line in the log is the one announcing the wait: CRDs that are late and an operator that never got far enough to install them read the same. A shared deadline loop now polls quietly and, on the way out, reads the objects once more with stderr kept, so the log names which object is missing. The MetalLB wait also lists the metallb HelmRelease, whose state separates those two cases. The loop runs on the script's own clock, which lets the unit suite drive it with the virtual one. The unit suite's runaway guard in the sleep stub now kills its caller as well, because a failing exit status does not stop a loop that runs where set -e is off, and a guard that cannot stop the loop turns a broken deadline into a hung test.

The storage pool listing was piped straight into awk, so its exit status was lost: a listing that failed, or one killed by its time bound, read as "no pools exist yet". The script then sent a create for every node, and on the nodes whose pool did exist the create failed with a reason unrelated to the actual failure. The listing now runs on its own, so a failure stops the script before any pool is created. A bound that fires leaves no text of its own: `timeout` prints nothing and kubectl dies on the signal before it can. The bounded calls therefore go through a wrapper that names the call it killed, so the log does not end on the step's announcement line.

`kubectl wait --timeout` looked like a bound on the wait loop's calls, but it covers only the watch. The command first resolves the object with a plain GET that has no deadline, since no --request-timeout is set, so an apiserver that accepts the connection and never answers holds the wait loop, the most frequently repeated call in the script, just like the calls that were unbounded outright. Each attempt now runs under an outer timeout set a little above the attempt's own --timeout, so the wait still owns its normal expiry.

When the outer timeout cut a `kubectl wait` attempt, nothing was printed: `timeout` is silent and kubectl dies on the signal. The timeout line then read "last kubectl error: none", which says the client had nothing to report rather than that it was killed mid-request. The attempt's exit status now names that case. The errors the loop prints also carry the script's prefix. The first NotFound shows up on every green run, since the release appears about a minute in, and without the prefix it reads like a failure when the log is scanned after one.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Report timeout escalation without misclassifying remote kills.
If kubectl ignores SIGTERM, timeout -k 5 escalates to SIGKILL and returns 137. bounded then returns failure without identifying the call that exceeded its bound. GNU timeout --verbose reports signals that it sends, without treating a remote command’s exit status 137 as a local timeout. (gnu.org)
Enable that diagnostic and update the timeout stub to accept --verbose. Keep the remote-kill distinction.
Based on learnings, timeout escalation can return 137.

Verdict
LGTM
Reviewed at 735486fc against merge-base 9ac67d76. Every bound and fail-closed path the PR adds was mutation-tested and holds; no regression against the merge-base on any run path.
Caveats
- Hermetic static review: no cluster was touched. The
kubectlcalls and the--request-timeoutglobal flag are stubbed by the suites;kubectl eventsand--request-timeoutare real and used correctly, but their live behaviour was not exercised here.timeout -k/ 124 / 137 semantics were verified locally (GNU coreutils 8.32, same family as the CI ubuntu runner). kubectl get hr -A ... | tail -n 300on the linstor timeout path caps the dump at 300 lines; on a cluster with >300 HelmReleases the blocking release could be truncated out. Diagnostic-only, hack/-scoped, non-blocking.
Checked and correct
- Caller contract:
hack/e2e-install-cozystack.bats:197runs the script with&, thenwait "$PID"andexit 1on non-zero, so "a hung call fails the install instead of holding it to the job ceiling" reaches the install end-to-end. - Fail-closed pool listing: splitting the read from the
awkpipe makes a failed/killedlinstor sp labort underset -ebefore any pool is created. Mechanism and old fail-open shape both verified:
$ dash -c 'set -eu; x=$(false); echo REACHED'; echo rc=$? # new form
rc=1 # aborts, REACHED not printed
$ dash -c 'set -eu; x=$(false | awk "{print}"); echo REACHED'; echo rc=$? # old piped form
REACHED
rc=0
- Non-vacuity, 4 hand-mutations (review-helper mutate reports bats/shell are "NOT measured by this sweep"), each reverted after:
- revert pool_list to the piped form:
storage pool listing killedandremote command killedboth RED (rc -ne 0 fails; script no longer stops). - drop the CDI
wait_for_objectbefore the patch:container mode waits for the CDI StorageProfile before patching itRED ([ -n "$got" ]) andCDI StorageProfile wait ... before any patchRED. The rewrittenlinstor-storage-mode_test.batsloses no coverage; the deleted literal grep is replaced by a stronger get-before-patch ordering check. - remove one
$KUBECTL_BOUND:every kubectl call ... carries a boundRED (printsUNBOUNDED apply ...). - drop
--request-timeout=60sfrom the patch:container mode pins CDI local StorageProfileRED.
- revert pool_list to the piped form:
- Negated-assertion safety: every "must not happen" check uses the positive
if grep ...; then return 1; fiform, not the fragile! cmd, so it reddens under the CI runner (hack/cozytest.shfidelity confirmed on one test). - 124 vs 137:
bounded()names only 124; a remote OOM 137 passes through and is surfaced by kubectl's own stderr (testremote command killed ... not reported as the bound firing).wait_for_linstortreats 124|137 as its outer kill, correct becausekubectl waithas no remote exec. - Both DRBD modes green (
linstor-storage-mode_test.bats17/17). dash-nclean; shellcheck clean except the pre-existing SC2317 false-positive on the lib-return guard. - Fail-open sweep over the diff: the two
2>/dev/nullhits (controller_reachable, node-list loop) are readiness polls that fail closed at a bounded deadline, both pre-existing; the only genuine merge-base fail-open (pool list piped to awk) is exactly what this PR fixes.
What this PR does
The post-install-prep step of the e2e install could hang without failing, and several of its failure paths gave up without saying why. The script runs in the background of the install test, which waits on it, so a kubectl call that never returns keeps the install open until the job's own timeout. This PR fixes both problems in
hack/e2e-post-install-prep.sh.--request-timeout, so kubectl can say why a request failed before the outer timeout kills it. When a bound fires, the log names the call.kubectl wait --timeoutturned out to be no bound at all for the GET it runs first, so each wait attempt got an outer timeout too. If that timeout cuts an attempt, the timeout line says so.All of this is tested in
hack/post-install-prep.batswith the existing stub PATH and virtual clock. One test checks that every kubectl call on the success path and on each timeout path runs under a bound. The literal grep inhack/linstor-storage-mode_test.batsis replaced with a test of the behaviour.The rest of #3680 lives outside this script and moves to #4628: the empty
{"error":{}}in helm-controller's Helm log, previous-container logs on passing runs, and node and pod resource state during install.Closes #3708, closes #3707, closes #3713, closes #3714, closes #3680.
