Summary

A consolidation of test-harness and CI fixes discovered while running the 5.0.0-rc.0 release test suites. All changes are test/CI-only (no product code): they address CI flakes and failures — resource exhaustion, teardown cascades, log-scan false positives, timeout limits, and asynchronous-resource races.

Changes

  • Namespace teardowns: Remove Namespace now deletes with allow_fail=True (matching the existing repo idiom) and polls until the namespace is actually gone — asserting a real NotFound — so a slow deletion killed at the 300s process timeout no longer cascades into a suite-teardown failure, while still guaranteeing the name is free for reuse.
  • Release scenario timeouts: centralize GREENBOOT_TIMEOUT=1200 and TEST_EXECUTION_TIMEOUT=60m in ci_phase_boot_and_test.sh for release scenarios and remove the now-redundant per-scenario overrides.
  • ginkgo VM disk: restore --vm_disksize 30 for the ginkgo scenario, whose storage specs exhaust the topolvm VG at the 20GB default.
  • log-scan cert-manager race: allowlist the benign, transient cert-manager ServiceAccount "forbidden" startup race in the standard2 Log Scan test (a scoped, namespace-specific regex; genuine forbidden regressions still fail), and clarify the double-boot test with a Boot And Scan Journal keyword.
  • journald rate limiting: disable journald rate limiting for the logging suite (drop-in wrapped in bash -c for correct sudo redirection, with mkdir -p for self-containment) so high-verbosity log output isn't dropped.
  • hostname test: use the reserved .example TLD instead of .local to avoid mDNS interference.
  • flaky async-resource waits: statefulset-pvc waits for the StatefulSet pod to exist before the readiness check, and ai-model-serving-online retries the kserve ServingRuntime apply until the validating webhook has endpoints.

Testing

  • Robot Framework suites lint clean (robocop check + format).
  • Python helper (journalctl.py) passes flake8; shell scripts pass shellcheck.
  • Validated against the 5.0.0-rc.0 release jobs where these failures were originally observed (arm/x86 el9/el10 release scenarios).

Summary

Consolidation of test and script fixes discovered during 5.0.0-rc.0 release testing:

  • OVN cleanup: Restart openvswitch after OVN process cleanup in microshift-cleanup-data.sh to clear stale flow state
  • Hostname test: Use .example TLD instead of .local to avoid mDNS interference
  • Journald rate limiting: Disable journald rate limiting in the logging test suite to prevent log loss during high-output scenarios
  • Namespace teardown: Use --wait=false for namespace deletion in Robot Framework teardowns to avoid blocking on finalizers
  • Release timeouts: Centralize greenboot (1200s) and robot (60m) timeouts for release scenarios instead of per-scenario overrides

Walkthrough

The changes update cleanup behavior, release timeouts, journald controls, journal filtering, namespace deletion, VM sizing, and hostname test documentation.

Changes

Test reliability and cleanup

Layer / File(s) Summary
Cleanup and scenario controls
scripts/microshift-cleanup-data.sh, test/bin/ci_phase_boot_and_test.sh, test/resources/kubeconfig.resource, test/scenarios-bootc/...
Cleanup stops Open vSwitch. Release timing uses shared settings, while selected scenario-specific overrides are removed. Namespace deletion runs asynchronously and verifies removal. One scenario provisions a 30 GB VM disk.
Journald rate-limit controls
test/resources/systemd.resource, test/suites/configuration2/logging.robot
The logging suite disables journald rate limiting during setup and restores it during teardown.
Journal exception filtering
test/resources/journalctl.py, test/suites/standard2/log-scan.robot
Journal scans accept case-insensitive exception patterns and exclude a known benign cert-manager message.
Hostname validation
test/suites/standard1/hostname.robot
The hostname test uses microshift-test.example and documents restart validation after a hostname change.

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

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to d3d53

Namespace teardown can report success while the namespace still exists, allowing stale resources to contaminate later tests. This should be corrected before merge.

The .local TLD is reserved for mDNS (RFC 6762) and can cause DNS
interference with OVN initialization on systems with Avahi or
systemd-resolved, contributing to healthcheck timeouts after
hostname changes.

pre-commit.check-secrets: ENABLED
The "Case Insensitive Log Levels" test fails on ARM when testing
TraceAll because klog verbosity 10 generates ~144K journal messages,
exceeding journald's default rate limit of 10K messages per 30 seconds.
The suppressed messages include the startup config dump line that the
test greps for, making the assertion impossible to satisfy.

Instead of globally disabling rate limiting in all test VMs, scope the
fix to the logging suite: disable rate limiting in suite setup and
re-enable it in teardown.

The drop-in write and journald restart are wrapped in `bash -c` so the
redirection and restart run as root under SSHLibrary's sudo=True (the
shell that expands `>` would otherwise run unprivileged), and `mkdir -p`
keeps the keyword self-contained rather than relying on kickstart
provisioning of /etc/systemd/journald.conf.d.

pre-commit.check-secrets: ENABLED
The Remove Namespace keyword ran `oc delete namespace` under Run With
Kubeconfig's 300s process timeout with allow_fail defaulting to False.
On ARM dual-stack, namespace garbage collection (pod teardown plus
finalizers, slowed by OVN reconciliation saturating the CPU) can exceed
300s, so the oc process was killed, returned non-zero, and cascaded into
a suite teardown failure that retroactively marked all passing tests as
failed.

Delete with allow_fail=True (matching the pattern already used across the
suites, e.g. standard1/kustomize.robot) so a slow or killed cleanup does
not fail the teardown, then poll until the namespace is actually gone. The
poll asserts a genuine NotFound rather than any non-zero exit code (which a
transient API error could also produce), so a subsequent test can reuse the
namespace name without a "being deleted" collision, bounded to 5m.

pre-commit.check-secrets: ENABLED
Release scenarios running upgrade paths with LVMS workloads followed by
full standard suites were hitting timeout limits under I/O contention
when many VMs boot and pull images in parallel. Set the greenboot
healthcheck timeout to 1200s (from 600s) and the robot framework timeout
to 60m centrally in ci_phase_boot_and_test.sh for all release scenarios,
and remove the now-redundant per-scenario overrides so the value lives in
a single place.

openshift#7298 reduced release-scenario VM disks from 30GB to 20GB. That is safe
for the lvms-standard/standard scenarios (they create a single 1Gi PVC),
but the ginkgo scenario runs the full storage spec suite which requests
several 1Gi PVCs concurrently. At 20GB the topolvm data VG only has
~420MiB free, so 7 storage specs fail with:

  ResourceExhausted ... no enough space left on VG:
  free=440401920, requested=1073741824  (arm-el10)

and on x86 el10 the same undersized VM shows etcd ReadIndex latency and
apiserver TLS-handshake flaps from I/O contention. Restore only this
scenario to --vm_disksize 30; the other nine 20GB scenarios stay as-is
since a single 1Gi PVC fits comfortably.

On a fresh/clean start the standard2 Log Scan test intermittently fails
"Should Not Find Forbidden" with:

  pods cert-manager-cainjector-... is forbidden: error looking up service
  account cert-manager/cert-manager-cainjector: serviceaccount ... not found

Investigation: the cainjector/controller/webhook Deployments and their
ServiceAccounts are created dynamically by the cert-manager operator, not
by MicroShift's static manifests. The kube-controller-manager ReplicaSet
controller can briefly attempt to create a pod before its ServiceAccount is
observed, logging this transient "forbidden" and retrying it away once the
SA lands. The workloads become ready (MicroShift healthcheck passes), so
this is a benign eventual-consistency startup race, not a MicroShift
manifest-ordering bug — the ordering is the operator's, not ours.

Add a scoped known-exceptions allowlist to the journalctl log-scan helper
and register this single pattern, so genuine "forbidden" regressions still
fail while this benign race is ignored.

While here, make the test itself easier to read: rename the per-boot
keyword to "Boot And Scan Journal", move the repeated journal-cursor
capture into it, and split the assertions into "Scan Boot Journal". The
two calls now read as "clean first boot" (forbidden check skipped, since a
clean boot logs the benign race above) and "restart" (must be forbidden-free).

Two release-scenario tests raced asynchronous resource creation:

- otp-workloads/statefulset-pvc: `oc wait pod/hello-statefulset-0
  --for=condition=Ready` ran immediately after creating the StatefulSet,
  before its controller created pod-0, so `oc wait` on the named pod
  failed with NotFound. Wait for the pod to exist first (reusing
  Wait Until Resource Exists) before checking readiness.

- ai-model-serving/ai-model-serving-online: the ServingRuntime was
  applied with a bare `oc apply` before the kserve validating webhook had
  endpoints, so the apply was rejected ("no endpoints available for
  service kserve-webhook-server-service"). Retry the apply until the
  webhook is serving, mirroring the retry already used for the
  InferenceService rollout.
