test/e2e: migrate time-based-ca-rotation test for OTE compatibility

Migrates the time-based-ca-rotation test suite to the OTE (Openshift Test Extended) Ginkgo framework while maintaining dual-compatibility with traditional Go tests.

Changes

test/e2e/e2e.go

  • Add Ginkgo test context for OTE test discovery:
    • time-based-ca-rotation - Tests CA rotation based on expiry time
  • Extract test logic into shared functions with testing.TB interface:
    • testTimeBasedCARotation() - Entry point for both test frameworks
    • checkCARotationGinkgo() - Core CA rotation validation logic
    • triggerTimeBasedRotationGinkgo() - Triggers rotation with short-lived CA
  • Add helper functions for CA rotation testing:
    • pollForCARotationGinkgo() - Polls for signing secret changes
    • pollForInjectedCABundleGinkgo() - Polls for CA bundle injection
    • pollForUpdatedConfigMapGinkgo() - Polls for configmap updates
    • pollForResourceGinkgo() - Generic resource polling helper
    • checkRotationGinkgo() - Wrapper for util.CheckRotation
  • Add operatorclient import for TargetNamespace constant
  • Remove duplicate helper functions that already exist with testing.TB support
  • Simplify verbose comments across all functions

test/e2e/e2e_test.go

  • Update test runner to call shared testTimeBasedCARotation() function
  • Remove triggerTimeBasedRotation() function (moved to e2e.go)
  • Remove unused imports

Net Code Change Explanation

Total: +229 lines added, -105 lines removed = +124 net increase

This is 60 lines more than PR #305's +64 net. Here's why it's necessary:

Breakdown by Category

1. REQUIRED for OTE (14 lines):

  • Ginkgo test context: 5 lines
  • Entry point function: 8 lines
  • Import: 1 line

2. MOVED from e2e_test.go (~122 lines):

  • triggerTimeBasedRotationtriggerTimeBasedRotationGinkgo: 62 lines
  • checkCARotation logic → checkCARotationGinkgo: ~60 lines
  • This is not new code, just relocated for OTE compatibility

3. NECESSARY helpers (71 lines):

  • pollForResourceGinkgo: 18 lines (generic poller used by 3 functions)
  • pollForCARotationGinkgo: 20 lines (CA-specific polling)
  • pollForUpdatedConfigMapGinkgo: 20 lines (configmap polling)
  • pollForInjectedCABundleGinkgo: 5 lines (wrapper)
  • checkRotationGinkgo: 8 lines (testing.TB compatibility wrapper)

4. REMOVED (-141 lines):

  • Duplicate helper functions: -34 lines
  • Verbose comments: -36 lines
  • From e2e_test.go: -71 lines

Why More Than PR #305 (Metrics: +64 net)?

Aspect PR #305 (Metrics) This PR (CA Rotation)
Test complexity Simple (metrics queries) Complex (CA rotation + validation)
Core logic size ~40 lines ~122 lines
Helper functions 4 functions 7 functions
Shared with unmigrated tests None Yes (forced-ca-rotation)

Key Points

  • Truly new code: Only ~32 lines (Ginkgo context + wrappers)
  • Rest is MOVED code: ~192 lines (relocated from e2e_test.go)
  • Cannot remove shared helpers yet - forced-ca-rotation test still uses them
  • After all 6 tests migrate - Can remove duplicates, net will approach +64

The +124 net is necessary because:

  1. This test is inherently more complex (62 lines just for rotation trigger logic)
  2. OTE requires code in e2e.go (not e2e_test.go) for discovery
  3. Shared helpers must stay until forced-ca-rotation is also migrated
  4. We optimized by removing 34 lines of duplicates already

Testing

Both test frameworks continue to work:

  • ✅ Standard Go test: go test -run "^TestE2E$/^time-based-ca-rotation$" (76.19s)
  • ✅ OTE Ginkgo: ginkgo --focus="should rotate CA based on expiry time" (74.98s)
  • ✅ OTE binary: service-ca-operator-tests-ext run-test "[sig-service-ca] service-ca-operator time-based-ca-rotation [Operator][Serial] should rotate CA based on expiry time" (75.58s)

All 17 sub-tests pass in all three test modes.

Related

Follows the migration pattern established in PR #305 (metrics test migration).
Part of the effort to migrate all e2e tests to OTE framework.

Remaining tests to migrate:

  • forced-ca-rotation
  • apiservice-ca-bundle-injection
  • crd-ca-bundle-injection
  • mutatingwebhook-ca-bundle-injection
  • validatingwebhook-ca-bundle-injection

Walkthrough

Adds a time-based CA rotation end-to-end test flow: new test scaffolding and helper functions in test/e2e/e2e.go to trigger CA rotation by renewing the signing CA with short expiry and to validate rotation effects; updates test invocation in test/e2e/e2e_test.go to call the new entrypoint and removes the previous trigger helper.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Time-based CA rotation test additions
test/e2e/e2e.go
Adds ~257 lines implementing a time-based CA rotation test pathway: new entry testTimeBasedCARotation, Ginkgo-compatible flows (checkCARotationGinkgo, checkRotationGinkgo), rotation trigger logic (triggerTimeBasedRotationGinkgo), generalized polling helpers (pollForResourceGinkgo, pollForCARotationGinkgo, pollForInjectedCABundleGinkgo, pollForUpdatedConfigMapGinkgo), CA renewal and secret rewrite via resourceapply, and certificate/CA bundle validation (including DNS derivation and util.CheckRotation usage). New imports for clock, crypto, events, resourceapply and operator clients were introduced.
Test invocation and helper removal
test/e2e/e2e_test.go
Removes the previous triggerTimeBasedRotation helper and its imports; replaces calls to checkCARotation(t, adminClient, adminConfig, triggerTimeBasedRotation) with testTimeBasedCARotation(t) in TestE2E. Adds inline notes about duplication with the OTE framework.

1418-1418: Discarding the returned secret from pollForCARotationGinkgo.

The return value of pollForCARotationGinkgo is being discarded. While this mirrors the pattern in triggerTimeBasedRotation in e2e_test.go, consider whether the returned secret should be used for additional validation or if the function should be simplified to not return a value if it's not needed.

Rotation validation is skipped in Ginkgo test path, reducing coverage.

The checkRotationGinkgo function calls util.CheckRotation only when the test is run as a regular Go test. For Ginkgo tests, the function logs and skips, meaning pre/post rotation cert combinations are never validated in the OTE path. This directly reduces test coverage for a critical validation.

The code comment incorrectly states that t.Run() is part of the testing.TB interface—it is not. The testing.TB interface lacks the Run() method needed for subtests, making direct refactoring of util.CheckRotation to accept testing.TB infeasible without removing the t.Run() calls.

Consider either:

  1. Refactoring util.CheckRotation to remove subtest structure and accept testing.TB, or
  2. Implementing the rotation check logic directly in checkRotationGinkgo without relying on subtests.

Reduce code duplication and verbosity:
- Replace pollForUpdatedServingCertGinkgo calls with existing
  pollForUpdatedServingCert (already uses testing.TB)
- Remove duplicate pollForUpdatedServingCertGinkgo and
  pollForUpdatedSecretGinkgo functions (34 lines)
- Add operatorclient import for TargetNamespace constant
- Replace serviceCAControllerNamespace with operatorclient.TargetNamespace
- Replace signingKeySecretName with api.ServiceCASecretName
- Simplify verbose comments across all new functions
