Walkthrough

The extended privilege tests now unmount an existing /usr/bin/rpm mount before replacement, wait for machine config pool updating, and inspect the host mount namespace before and after MCD restart.

Changes

Extended privilege test updates

Layer / File(s) Summary
RPM replacement handling
test/extended-priv/node.go
ReplaceRpm performs a best-effort lazy unmount before replacing /usr/bin/rpm.
Extension test synchronization and diagnostics
test/extended-priv/mco_extensions.go
The test waits for machine config pool updating after applying the usbguard extension. It logs host mount namespace checks before and after MCD restart.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 0ee00

The updated extension replacement checks can stop diagnostics on expected no-match results and may treat an empty daemon lookup as success before the replacement pod exists, leading to misleading or false test outcomes. Merge should wait for these bounded test-reliability issues to be fixed or explicitly accepted.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Do not ignore all pre-unmount failures.

|| true makes both the expected “not mounted” result and real nsenter/umount failures look successful. If /usr/bin/rpm remains mounted, the next cp can back up the fake script, and the bind mount can stack another fake mount. RestoreRpm later unmounts only once, so cleanup can leave the node using the fake RPM. Distinguish the no-mount case from other failures and abort before copying when an existing mount cannot be removed.

As per path instructions, Go code must never ignore error returns; this command explicitly discards the umount status. Based on learnings, best-effort errors are acceptable for deferred cleanup, but this unmount is a prerequisite before the state-changing replacement.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Keep optional diagnostics independent.

Both shell commands chain probes with &&. grep rpm returns status 1 when the RPM mount is absent. That stops the first block before the composefs and rpm -q usbguard checks. It stops the second block before the post-restart RPM and RHCOS checks.

Handle expected no-match results explicitly, or run each probe independently. The current code continues the test with incomplete diagnostics.

Proposed adjustment
- "nsenter --mount=/proc/1/ns/mnt cat /proc/self/mountinfo | grep rpm && "+
+ "(nsenter --mount=/proc/1/ns/mnt cat /proc/self/mountinfo | grep rpm || true) && "+

Apply the same handling to the post-restart RPM mount probe.

Also applies to: 269-278

Gomega Eventually callback global assertions intercepted inside Eventually callback Gomega parameter documentation

💡 Result:

When using Gomega's Eventually function, it is critical to use the provided Gomega object parameter if you want to perform assertions inside the callback that are properly intercepted [1][2]. If you use global Gomega DSL expectations (e.g., calling Expect directly) inside an Eventually callback, Gomega will not intercept the failures [1]. Instead, these global failures will trigger the default failure handler immediately, causing the test to fail rather than allowing Eventually to continue polling until the timeout is reached [1][3]. To correctly perform assertions inside an Eventually callback, define the callback function to accept a g Gomega parameter [1][2]. You must then perform all assertions using this instance (e.g., g.Expect(...) or g.Eventually(...)) [1][2]. This allows the Eventually mechanism to capture failures from these internal assertions and treat them as polling failures, enabling the test to retry as expected instead of failing immediately [1][2]. Example usage: Eventually(func(g Gomega) { // Perform assertions using the passed-in g object g.Expect(someValue).To(Equal(expected)) g.Eventually(somethingElse).Should(BeTrue) }, "30s", "1s").Should(Succeed) This pattern ensures that all nested assertions are correctly tracked and retried by the outer Eventually call [2].

🌐 Web query:

oc get pods -o jsonpath no resources empty output exit status

💡 Result:

When you run oc get pods (or kubectl get pods) and no resources are found, the command typically outputs "No resources found" to the standard error (stderr) stream but returns an exit status of 0 [1][2]. This behavior is standard for Kubernetes and OpenShift CLI tools because the API call itself technically succeeds (a 200 OK response is received from the API server, indicating that the list request was processed, even if the list is empty) [1]. If you use jsonpath to output specific fields and no resources exist, you may encounter the following: 1. Standard Behavior: If the command returns "No resources found", that text is printed to stderr. Because the command returns an exit code of 0, scripts that rely solely on if statements or && operators to check for command success may incorrectly interpret the result as a successful operation [1][2]. 2. Handling Empty Results: If you need to detect when resources are absent in your scripts, it is best practice to capture the output and check if it contains the "No resources found" string or to test for the existence of the resource list explicitly [1]. 3. Errors: If you receive an error message like "couldn't find any field with path..." when using jsonpath, it often indicates a mismatch between the expected JSON structure and the empty or filtered result set returned by the command [3]. To avoid confusion in automated scripts, you should explicitly verify if the resource list is empty rather than relying on the exit status [1].

Citations:


Use a retryable, non-empty MCD lookup inside Eventually.

node.GetMachineConfigDaemon() invokes a global assertion when oc returns an error, which can terminate polling. When no pod matches, it can also return an empty name, allowing ShouldNot(o.Equal(mcdPod)) to pass before the replacement pod exists. Return (string, error), reject empty names, and compare the pod names only after a valid lookup succeeds.
