| description | Create a manual PipelineRun to test tag pipeline changes before merging. |
Create a manual PipelineRun to test tag pipeline changes before merging.
Usage: /test-tag-pipeline <tag-name> [branch-spec]
Arguments:
tag-name (required): The existing tag to rebuild (e.g., v0.1.69)
branch-spec (optional): The branch containing the updated pipeline (defaults to main)
- Format:
[fork:]branch-name
- If no fork specified, defaults to
openshift
What this does:
- Verifies you are logged into the Konflux instance
- Gets the commit SHA that the tag points to
- Fetches the tag pipeline definition from the specified branch/fork
- Replaces template variables with actual values for the tag
- Creates a manual PipelineRun that uses the updated pipeline to build the tag's commit
- Outputs the PipelineRun name for monitoring
Examples:
/test-tag-pipeline v0.1.69
/test-tag-pipeline v0.1.69 build-gomaxprocs-image
/test-tag-pipeline v0.1.69 celebdor:OCPBUGS-63194-part2
Implementation:
IMPORTANT: Execute the commands exactly as shown with only the arguments provided by the user. If no branch argument is specified, the template {{args.1:-main}} will correctly default to main. Do NOT substitute the current git branch or any other inferred values.
Step 1: Verify authentication to Konflux
oc whoami
If the authentication check fails, inform the user they need to log in first:
oc login --web https://api.stone-prd-rh01.pg1f.p1.openshiftapps.com:6443
Step 2: Create the PipelineRun
bash hack/tools/scripts/create-manual-tag-pipelinerun.sh {{args.0}} {{args.1:-main}}
After the PipelineRun is created, extract the name from the output and construct the web UI URL:
Example: https://konflux-ui.apps.stone-prd-rh01.pg1f.p1.openshiftapps.com/ns/crt-redhat-acm-tenant/applications/hypershift-operator/pipelineruns/hypershift-operator-main-manual-v0.1.69-xxxxx
Display the full URL to the user so they can monitor progress in the web UI.
You can also monitor it from the CLI with:
oc get pipelinerun <name> -w
Step 3: After the PipelineRun completes successfully, create a Snapshot to trigger Enterprise Contract validation:
bash hack/tools/scripts/create-snapshot-from-pipelinerun.sh <pipelinerun-name>
After the Snapshot is created, extract the snapshot name from the output and get the EC PipelineRuns:
oc get pipelinerun -l appstudio.openshift.io/snapshot=<snapshot-name> -o name
For each EC PipelineRun, construct and display the web UI URL:
Example: https://konflux-ui.apps.stone-prd-rh01.pg1f.p1.openshiftapps.com/ns/crt-redhat-acm-tenant/applications/hypershift-operator/pipelineruns/hypershift-operator-enterprise-contract-xxxxx
Display the full URLs to the user so they can monitor EC validation in the web UI.
You can also monitor from the CLI with:
oc get snapshot <snapshot-name> -w
oc get pipelinerun -l appstudio.openshift.io/snapshot=<snapshot-name>
Notes:
- This is useful for testing pipeline fixes before merging PRs
- The PipelineRun uses the updated pipeline definition but builds the original tag's commit
- The two-step process allows the PipelineRun to complete (20+ minutes) before creating the Snapshot
- Requires
yq and oc CLI tools to be installed
- See
hack/tools/scripts/create-manual-tag-pipelinerun.sh and hack/tools/scripts/create-snapshot-from-pipelinerun.sh for implementation details
