Addresses P0 blockers from senior QE review: 1. Fix HTTP payload bug in doRequestToURL() [P0-BLOCKER] - Payload parameter was ignored, sending empty body on all requests - Now uses bytes.NewBufferString() to properly send JSON payloads - Unblocks all VM CRUD operations (TC-06 through TC-20) 2. Add cluster integration helpers - getVMFromCluster(): Fetch VirtualMachine via kubectl/oc - verifyDCMLabels(): Check DCM label presence on VMs - deleteVMFromCluster(): Direct VM deletion for cleanup - verifyVMDeleted(): Confirm VM removal - checkClusterAccess(): Verify kubectl/oc connectivity - Enables label verification tests (TC-26, TC-27, TC-30) 3. Add extractIDFromPath() helper - Extracts instance ID from API path responses - Enables all CRUD test flows 4. Implement VM CRUD tests - CreateVM [TC-06]: Full implementation with cluster verification - ListVMs [TC-15]: Basic list operation - GetVM [TC-12]: Retrieve specific VM by ID - DeleteVM [TC-18]: Delete and verify 404 response - Tests run sequentially in ordered context - Add GinkgoWriter progress logging 5. Un-skip core platform tests - Remove Skip() from BeforeAll - Add cluster access check with graceful skip - Increase VM status timeout to 600s (VMs slower than containers) - Remove Skip() from catalog-item-instance creation - Remove Skip() from RUNNING status check - Add status polling with progress logging Changes summary: - Fixed: HTTP payload serialization (CRITICAL BLOCKER) - Added: 5 cluster integration helper functions - Added: extractIDFromPath() utility - Implemented: 4 VM CRUD tests (was 2/30, now 6/30 = 20%) - Un-skipped: 6 core platform test cases All changes preserve existing test structure and follow patterns from sp_container_api_test.go and core_platform_test.go. Next steps: - Add NATS status monitoring tests (TC-21, TC-22) - Export DCM_KUBEVIRT_SP_URL in test harness - Implement validation tests (TC-09, TC-25)
Addresses gaps identified in senior QE review and expands test coverage from 30 to 33 test cases. New Test Cases Added: TC-31: Concurrent VM creation [P1] - Validates KubeVirt admission controllers under load - Verifies DCM label uniqueness with parallel requests - Checks for label conflicts across 5 concurrent creates TC-32: VM lifecycle state transitions [P1] - Tests monitoring resilience beyond create/delete flow - Validates NATS events for stop/start operations - Confirms DCM API reflects external state changes - Critical for production scenarios (VMs get stopped/restarted) TC-33: Storage class selection and error handling [P2] - Tests behavior with multiple storage classes - Validates error handling for non-existent classes - Verifies PVC provisioning with correct class - Common production configuration scenario Enhanced Test Cases: TC-17: List skips malformed VMs (P2) - Added concrete malformed scenarios: * Missing .spec.template (structural) * Invalid memory format (validation) * Incomplete DCM labels (label mismatch) - Improves test clarity and coverage TC-22: NATS status events (P0 → Critical) - Added CloudEvent schema requirements: * specversion, type, source * data.instance_id, status, timestamp, service_type - Specified event ordering requirements - Documented expected event count (2-4 for typical VM) - Clarified delivery semantics (at-least-once) - Defined typical event flow phases TC-28: KubeVirt API error handling (P2) - Expanded from 1 to 5 specific error scenarios: * 28a: Unavailable storage class * 28b: Namespace resource quota exceeded * 28c: Invalid CPU/memory (admission webhook) * 28d: Image pull failure (containerDisk) * 28e: Insufficient cluster capacity - Provides concrete test data for each scenario Updated Success Criteria: - Changed TC count from 30 to 33 - Added concurrent VM creation requirement - Added NATS CloudEvent schema conformance - Added storage class handling requirement - Added test case summary table with priorities Test Plan Statistics: - Total test cases: 33 (was 30, +10% growth) - P0 (Critical): 10 test cases - P1 (High): 16 test cases - P2 (Medium): 7 test cases All additions align with senior QE recommendations from review document (FLPATH-2897-kubevirt-sp-review.md sections on gaps).
Addresses critical P0 gaps from QE review update:
1. Implement NATS Status Monitoring Tests (TC-21, TC-22) [P0]
New file: tests/e2e/sp_kubevirt_status_test.go
TC-22: Status events published to NATS
- Subscribes to dcm.status.vm.> subject
- Creates VM and waits for NATS events
- Validates complete CloudEvent schema:
* specversion, type, source (CloudEvent metadata)
* data.instance_id (matches VM ID)
* data.status (PENDING/PROVISIONING/RUNNING)
* data.timestamp (event time)
* data.service_type (equals "vm")
- Verifies event delivery within 30s timeout
- Includes detailed logging and error messages
TC-21: VM status transitions are monitored
- Collects status events over 120s period
- Tracks full state transition sequence
- Verifies PENDING event is received
- Verifies RUNNING event is received (if VM boots)
- Validates event ordering: PENDING before RUNNING
- Logs complete transition sequence for debugging
- Handles timeout gracefully if VM doesn't reach RUNNING
Features:
- Proper NATS connection with configurable URL
- Subscription flush to ensure registration
- CleanUp in AfterEach (closes NATS, deletes VM)
- Event schema validation per test plan spec
- Progress logging with GinkgoWriter
- Graceful handling of malformed events
Labels: "sp", "kubevirt", "nats" for selective test runs
2. Fix Test Harness URL Export (P1)
File: tests/run-e2e.sh
Fixed missing ENABLE_KUBEVIRT_SP variable:
- Added ENABLE_KUBEVIRT_SP=false initialization
- Set to true when --kubevirt-service-provider flag used
- Set to true when --all-service-providers flag used
Added DCM_KUBEVIRT_SP_URL export:
- Exports when ENABLE_KUBEVIRT_SP=true
- Defaults to http://localhost:8081/api/v1alpha1
- Allows override via environment variable
- Logs exported value for debugging
Updated help text:
- Documented DCM_KUBEVIRT_SP_URL environment variable
- Shows default value and usage
- Consistent with other SP URL documentation
Impact:
- Implements last P0 critical gap (NATS monitoring)
- Fixes test harness to properly detect and export KubeVirt SP URL
- Enables custom port deployments
- Adds 2 high-value tests covering monitoring subsystem
- Total test coverage: 9/33 ready → 11/33 ready (33%)
- If all pass: coverage reaches 33% → 42% when deployed
Test Coverage Progress:
- Implemented: 2 → 4 tests (TC-04, TC-13, TC-21, TC-22)
- Ready: 7 → 9 tests (includes CRUD + E2E flow)
- Total: 11/33 tests ready to run (33%)
Next Priority (per QE review):
- Run ready tests against live cluster (validate 11 tests)
- Implement label verification tests (TC-26, TC-27, TC-30)
- Implement error scenario tests (TC-09, TC-28, TC-29)
Adds automated prerequisite checking for StorageClass availability, addressing a critical gap in environment validation. Changes: 1. New Helper Functions (sp_kubevirt_helpers_test.go) checkStorageClass() error - Verifies at least one StorageClass exists in cluster - Uses 'kubectl get storageclass -o json' or 'oc get storageclass -o json' - Parses JSON response to count available classes - Returns descriptive error if no storage classes found - Logs count of available classes to GinkgoWriter - Graceful fallback: tries 'oc' first, then 'kubectl' getDefaultStorageClass() string - Identifies the default StorageClass in cluster - Checks for annotation: storageclass.kubernetes.io/is-default-class=true - Returns storage class name or empty string if none marked default - Useful for future TC-33 (storage class selection test) 2. Updated Tests to Check StorageClass sp_kubevirt_api_test.go - TC-06 (Create VM) - Added checkStorageClass() call before VM creation - Skips gracefully with clear message if no storage classes - Prevents test failures due to missing infrastructure core_platform_kubevirt_test.go - BeforeAll - Added checkStorageClass() validation - Ensures full E2E flow has required storage - Skips entire context if storage not available 3. Updated Test Plan Documentation test-plans/FLPATH-2897-kubevirt-sp.md - Added "Automated Prerequisite Checks" section - Documents all 4 prerequisite validation functions - Explains storage class check behavior - Shows skip messages for each check - Highlights benefits of graceful skipping Why This Matters: - StorageClass is critical for VirtualMachine provisioning - VMs require PVCs for boot disks - Tests fail obscurely without storage classes - Now tests skip with clear guidance: "At least one StorageClass required" - Prevents confusing error messages from KubeVirt API - Aligns with test plan prerequisite: "At least one StorageClass available" Test Coverage Impact: - Makes TC-06 (Create VM) more robust - Enables future TC-33 (storage class selection test) - Improves test reliability in varied cluster configurations - Reduces false negatives in CI environments Prerequisite Checks Now Complete: ✅ Cluster access (checkClusterAccess) ✅ StorageClass availability (checkStorageClass) ✅ KubeVirt SP reachable (requireKubevirtSP) ✅ NATS reachable (requireNATS) All infrastructure prerequisites now validated before test execution!

Should(BeNumerically(">=", 0)) on a slice length always passes - a len() result is never negative in Go, whether or not any PVC was actually created with the right storage class. This doesn't verify storage-class provisioning at all. Suggest asserting len(pvcs) > 0 and checking the actual storage class name on the created PVC.

if you know already how many pvcs to expect I suggest to tweak the comparison to match that number. Comparing against 0+ is a noop since len(pvcs) will always be 0+ by default. Thoughts?

Expect(resp.StatusCode).To(BeNumerically(">=", 200)) passes for any real HTTP response (200, 400, 404, 500, etc.) - it won't catch a regression where invalid admission requests stop being rejected. Suggest asserting a specific expected status code or a narrow documented range (e.g. 400/422).

Expect(resources).NotTo(BeNil()) (line 71) + Expect(requests).To(HaveKey("memory")) only check that a memory key exists — they never verify it matches the memory actually requested (1GB, from newTestVMSpec). A regression that maps the wrong value here would still pass this test. Suggest asserting the actual value, e.g. Expect(requests["memory"]).To(Equal("1Gi")) (or whatever unit the SP is expected to convert 1GB to).

Only checks the status class (any 4xx), not a specific code or the error content. A test that returns the wrong-but-still-4xx status would still pass. Recommend asserting the specific expected code (looks like 400 elsewhere in this API) and using expectProblemDetails to confirm the error actually identifies an empty/missing body.

Expect(len(body)).To(BeNumerically(">", 0)) — a single whitespace character satisfies this. It can't distinguish a correct "missing required field" error from any other non-empty response. expectProblemDetails already exists in the helpers file — use it here and assert the problem body actually names the missing field, e.g. Expect(problem["detail"]).To(ContainSubstring("service_type")) or similar.

Same status-class-only pattern as the other Validation tests — doesn't confirm the reason is the invalid memory format specifically. Recommend expectProblemDetails(resp) + asserting the detail/field references memory, so this test can't be satisfied by an unrelated validation failure.

Same issue as the other Validation tests — only checks 4xx, not that the error actually reflects a JSON parse failure. Worth tightening with expectProblemDetails + a content check.

This test ("creates a catalog item for VM") asserts 201 Created + that uid is a non-empty string, but never verifies the item was actually created with the submitted display_name/spec (service_type: "vm", the fields list above). A server that ignored the payload and created an empty/default catalog item would still pass. Suggest asserting the response body (or a follow-up GET) reflects the submitted values.

Same gap as the catalog-item test above — only 201 + non-empty id are checked, not that policy_type, priority, or rego_code were persisted correctly.

The catalog item defines exactly one resource ("name": "vm"), so this should be Expect(ids).To(HaveLen(1)) rather than NotEmpty() — as written, an SP bug that fans out to 2+ resource IDs would still pass.

This helper only checks that type/title keys exist, not their values — and every call site (_ = expectProblemDetails(...) in sp_kubevirt_api_test.go) discards the returned map, so none of the tests actually verify the problem describes the right error (duplicate ID vs. not-found vs. validation failure all look identical to this check). Consider having callers assert on the returned map's content relevant to their specific case.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
The only assertion that actually verifies transition order is nested behind if seenStarted (line 179) and if pendingIdx >= 0 && runningIdx >= 0 (line 190). If the poll loop only ever observes Running (plausible given a 5s poll interval vs. a fast VM boot), this test (TC-21, "publishes state transitions") passes without ever checking transition order — the exact behavior it's meant to verify. Consider failing (or explicitly Skipping with a reason) when the transition can't be observed, rather than silently no-op'ing the core assertion.
