butane: add overwrite support for trees - #2284
Conversation
Local files referenced via ignition.config.merge or ignition.config.replace
were never validated as Ignition configs. translateResource built a synthetic
path (path.New("yaml","local") -> "$.local") and guarded validation with
strings.HasPrefix(c.String(), "$.ignition.config"), which is always false, so
an invalid local ignition config was silently embedded without any error.
Move the validation into translateIgnition, where the real context path is
available, and validate the merge list and replace resource there. This only
affects ignition.config resources, so file append/contents local files are
left untouched.
Fixes coreos#2280

Trees are Butane-only sugar that expand into files, directories, and links. This adds an optional overwrite field to the tree resource so the flag flows down to every generated entry, matching the existing overwrite support on files, directories, and links. The field is threaded through treeWalkOptions in translateTree and applied to the generated Directory, File, and Link nodes. Fixes coreos#2257 Signed-off-by: Deepak Bhagat <deepak988088@gmail.com>

Generate directories when overwrite is the only tree option.
The directory skip condition ignores options.overwrite. A tree with only overwrite: true emits no directory resources. This omits overwrite from the tree root and subdirectories. A tree containing only directories emits no resources.

@deepak0x , once I get through lifting and shifting everything from butane into the ignition repo I will circle back on this PR. Thank you for adding this so quickly :)! |

Fixes #2257 (continuation of coreos/butane#712)
Trees are Butane-only sugar that expand into files, directories, and links.
This adds an optional
overwritefield to the tree resource so the flag flowsdown to every generated entry, matching the existing
overwritesupport onfiles, directories, and links.
Implementation
Overwrite *boolto theTreeschema in bothbutane/base/v0_7andbutane/base/v0_8_exp.treeWalkOptionsintranslateTreeand applied itto the generated
types.Directory,types.File, andtypes.Linknodes (theOverwritefield lives on the sharedNodestruct in the v3_6/v3_7_experimentalconfig types).
TestTranslateTreeOverwritewhich builds a tree withoverwrite: true(containing a file, an executable, a subdirectory, and a symlink) and asserts
every generated file, directory, and link carries
overwrite: true.Verification
go test ./butane/...passes with no regressions.overwrite: nil) andpasses after.
