Summary

  • Fix ConditionMatcher.Matches() early-return bug that short-circuits in Any mode on the first status mismatch, causing false negatives when iteration order places a non-matching condition before a matching one
  • Add regression test reproducing the exact CI failure scenario (static-resources Degraded=False iterated before deployment Degraded=True)
  • Guard the early-return with !m.Any so Any mode continues searching for at least one match

Problem

The Matches function short-circuits with return false when it finds a condition that matches the type pattern but not the expected status. This is correct for All mode but wrong for Any mode -- Any should keep looking for at least one match.

Since the Kubernetes API returns conditions in non-deterministic order, this produces flaky e2e failures in the overrides tests. The e2e-operator-tech-preview job fails when cert-manager-webhook-static-resources-Degraded (False) is iterated before cert-manager-webhook-deploymentDegraded (True).

Jira

  • CNF-26150 -- Fix flaky e2e ConditionMatcher.Matches early-return (To Do)
  • Epic: CNF-23509 -- cert-manager-operator Tuning (In Progress)

Test Plan

  • CI passes (e2e-operator, e2e-operator-tech-preview)
  • Existing unit test TestVerifyOperatorStatusCondition passes (5 cases)
  • New test case "Any mode succeeds when matching condition appears after non-matching one" passes

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Fixed “Any” condition matching so it continues checking conditions after a status mismatch and can correctly find a later match.
  • Tests

    • Expanded end-to-end coverage for condition matching, including varied condition statuses and configurable verification timeouts.
  • Chores

    • Updated end-to-end test execution so label filters are passed reliably.

Walkthrough

The condition matcher now continues evaluation after a status mismatch in Any mode. Verification accepts configurable timeouts. Tests cover the new behavior, and the E2E command passes the Ginkgo label filter directly.

Changes

Condition Matcher Verification

Layer / File(s) Summary
Matcher evaluation and timeout helper
test/e2e/condition_matcher_test.go
Any-mode evaluation continues after status mismatches. The default verifier delegates to the timeout-based helper.
Verification coverage and E2E wiring
test/e2e/condition_matcher_unit_test.go, Makefile
Tests use explicit timeouts and verify a later matching Degraded condition. The E2E command passes the Ginkgo label filter without shell quotes.

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

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to ed900

The matcher fix prevents condition-order-dependent e2e failures, but a blocked Kubernetes status request can exceed the newly configurable verification timeout. Propagate the polling context before merging to preserve bounded test execution.

  • Improved condition matching in “Any” mode so a non-matching condition does not prevent later matching conditions from succeeding.

  • Tests

  • Added coverage confirming that a valid matching condition is recognized even when it follows a non-matching condition.

/retest

When Any is true, the Matches function should return true if at least
one condition matching the type pattern has the expected status. However,
the early-return on status mismatch fires before checking all conditions,
causing false negatives when a non-matching condition appears before a
matching one in the iteration order.

This produces flaky e2e failures in overrides tests because the API
returns conditions in non-deterministic order: if the static-resources
Degraded=False condition is iterated before the deployment Degraded=True
condition, the matcher incorrectly returns false.

Guard the early-return with !m.Any so that Any mode continues searching
for at least one match instead of short-circuiting on the first mismatch.
