kuttl test flag --kind-containers
What would you like to be added:
A command line flag for kindContainers
Why is this needed: During a CI build process Docker tags are generated and have a random component and it isn't easily possible to include this in a static config file. It would be much easier to generate a command to execute.
@esatterwhite could you provide more detail or acceptance criteria? It isn't clear what the ask is here. thanks for your involvement!
Our build process generates a dynamic image tag and renders kubernetes manifests that are loaded into kuttl for testing. Not able to load that image directly in to kind using the static config because I don't really know what it is until it is running.
So We're not able to assert that replicas are ready because they are all stuck in an image pull back off
state:
waiting:
message: Back-off pulling image "us.gcr.io/logdna-k8s/kong:2.5.0-alpine.20210924T165522Z" #<--- doesn't exist yet
reason: ImagePullBackOff
if it were a command line flag, I could build that image locally and generate that command to load it into kind and avoid image pull backoff. It is apart of our CI so it doesn't make sense to always push the image to the registry if it might be broken
kubectl kuttl test --config=kuttl.yaml --kind-containers=us.gcr.io/logdna-k8s/kong:2.5.0-alpine.20210924T165522Z
being able to specify the flag multiple times for multiple containers would be nice
Actually, I think I figured this out. you can specify the image name w/o a tag, And that generally works fine.
kindConfig: kuttl-kind.yaml
artifactsDir: coverage
kindContainers:
- a-local-image
- another-local-image
All though a repeatable cli flag would still be a nice addition
