Description

Closes #680.

Chainsaw runs script.content as sh -c with no set -e, so only the last command's exit status reaches the test and every check_node.sh call above it is decorative. Three blocks in the pre-existing operator-agent scenarios had this:

  • simple/ — five assertions (log content ×2, START flag, step flag path, history file), of which only the last, ls .../history, gated. The log-content and flag-path checks — exactly the ones that would notice a format drift between the Python and Go agents — could not fail the test.
  • reap_old_logs/ — the seed block (^7$ count) and the survivor block (^5$ count and the newest content check): two of three gated.

interrupt/, dont_write_logs/, and the scenarios from #605 and #673 already set it; this is the remainder. Cleanup blocks (rm -rf … || true) are intentionally non-gating and untouched. The change is set -e as the first line of each of the three blocks.

This is the same class of defect Brian identified reviewing #605's new scenarios; these are the pre-existing instances flagged there and left alone because they are contract scenarios. The suite is what #222's cutover argument rests on, and until now "the suite passes" meant one of five simple/ assertions passed.

Review changes. The reap_old_logs/ seed block was already gated (its check_node.sh call was the block's only command), so it is two of three there, not one; the ^5$ survivor count was the hidden check. From review: the simple/ block carries the same one-line set -e comment its siblings do; reap_old_logs/'s pre-run nodewright reset has the 2>/dev/null || true guard simple/ has; and check_node.sh counts a positive match only when the command exited 0 (inverted checks keep matching on output alone, since dont_write_logs/ asserts absence by listing a directory that may not exist). Follow-ons in #686.

Checklist

  • I am familiar with the Contributing Guidelines.
  • My commits are signed off per the DCO and cryptographically signed: git commit -s -S.
  • New or existing tests cover these changes. This PR is the tests; every assertion in both scenarios now gates.
  • The documentation is up to date with these changes (none affected).

Verification

Locally: all scenario YAML parses, a scan confirms zero remaining ungated check_node.sh blocks across the suite, make license-header-check clean. The e2e itself needs a cluster and runs in CI here against both agents — if any of the newly gating assertions fails, that is a real finding the suite had been hiding.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The operator-agent test scripts in the simple and reap_old_logs scenarios now stop when a command fails. The reap_old_logs reset command continues if reset fails. check_node.sh now combines command exit status with output matching for normal checks, while inverted checks evaluate output regardless of exit status. On timeout, it prints the last command’s exit status.

Explanation

The diff changes the pre-test reset command in reap_old_logs/chainsaw-test.yaml to suppress errors and ignore its exit status. #680 requests gating changes in three assertion blocks and states that the cleanup behavior should remain unchanged. The reset change does not implement assertion gating and changes setup failure handling.

🟡 Minor · Check the kubectl exec status before matching output. · check_node.sh:31-32

k8s-tests/operator-agent/check_node.sh:31-32
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Check the kubectl exec status before matching output.

The cat .../*.log assertions can print a matching log and still return nonzero when another operand fails. check_node.sh ignores that status, matches data, and exits 0. The surrounding set -e then cannot fail the Chainsaw step.

Suggested fix
-    data=$(kubectl exec ${node}-debugger -- chroot /host bash -c "${cmd}")
+    if ! data=$(kubectl exec ${node}-debugger -- chroot /host bash -c "${cmd}"); then
+        echo "kubectl exec failed"
+        continue

No correctness problems found. set -e is in the right blocks, and the assertions that now gate match what both agents write (log paths under package_name, the START flag, the step flag names, history/<pkg>.json). Both operator-agent jobs are green.

A few minor notes, inline plus one here. None of them block this PR, and any of them can be a follow-on ticket rather than a change here. Happy to file them if that's easier.

  • reap_old_logs/chainsaw-test.yaml:31, not in the diff: the pre-run nodewright reset ... --confirm lacks the 2>/dev/null || true guard that simple/ has. The current CLI returns 0 when the CR is absent, so it passes today, but the two scenarios handle the same reset differently, and nothing in the suite would catch a CLI change that makes it exit non-zero.

see above

Chainsaw runs script.content as `sh -c` with no `set -e`, so only the last
command's exit status reaches the test and every check_node.sh call above it
is decorative. Three blocks in the pre-existing scenarios had this:

- simple/: five assertions -- log content twice, the START flag, the step
  flag path and the history file -- of which only the final `ls .../history`
  gated. The log-content and flag-path checks, the ones that would notice a
  format drift between the two agents, could not fail the test.
- reap_old_logs/: the survivor block's `^5$` count did not gate; only the
  `newest` content check after it did. The seed block's `^7$` count already
  gated, since the check_node.sh call was that block's only command; `set -e`
  goes in there too so a second check added later is gated from the start.

interrupt/, dont_write_logs/ and the scenarios added in #605 and #673 already
set it. This is the remainder. The cleanup blocks (`rm -rf ... || true`) are
intentionally non-gating and are unchanged. reap_old_logs/'s pre-run
`nodewright reset` gains the `2>/dev/null || true` guard simple/ has, so the
two scenarios treat an absent CR the same way.

check_node.sh also stops counting a positive match when the command itself
exited non-zero: `cat a.log b.log` prints a.log and fails on an unreadable
b.log, and that output must not pass a check. Inverted checks assert absence,
where a command with nothing to list exits non-zero by design, so they keep
matching on output alone. The failure diagnostic now prints the exit status.

This suite is the parity contract the Go cutover (#222) leans on; until now
"the suite passes" meant one of five simple/ assertions passed.

Closes #680
