Developing Cluster Version Operator

⚠️ This document only covers the basic development, building and testing tasks. For information about concepts used and implemented in CVO, please see the dev-guide in the openshift/enhancements repository.

Building CVO

Building the CVO binary

$ make build
hack/build-go.sh
Using version from git...
Building github.com/openshift/cluster-version-operator (v1.0.0-942-g59e0826f-dirty)

Building the CVO image

The hack/build-image.sh script builds a local CVO image:

$ ./hack/build-image.sh
INFO: Using version from git...
...
[2/2] COMMIT cluster-version-operator:v1.0.0-942-g59e0826f-dirty
--> 98ff149964f
Successfully tagged localhost/cluster-version-operator:v1.0.0-942-g59e0826f-dirty

Publishing a development CVO image

The hack/push-image.sh script publishes a locally-built CVO image to a remote repository:

$ REPO=<your personal repo, such as quay.io/login> ./hack/push-image.sh

This pushes ${VERSION} and latest tags to ${REPO}/origin-cluster-version-operator, where ${VERSION} encodes the Git commit used to build the image.

Building and publishing a release payload image with development CVO

After publishing a development CVO image, you can build a release payload image that will contain all manifests from an existing release payload and the development CVO binary:

$ oc adm release new --from-release=quay.io/openshift-release-dev/ocp-release:4.11.18-x86_64 \
                     --to-image-base=${REPO}/origin-cluster-version-operator:latest \
                     --image=${REPO}/ocp-release:latest

Testing CVO

Unit tests

Run make test to execute all unit tests.

Integration tests

The hack/test-integration.sh script executes integration tests against an OpenShift cluster. It requires $KUBECONFIG with administrator credentials. Only execute integration tests against disposable testing clusters.

$ export KUBECONFIG=<admin kubeconfig path>
$ ./hack/test-integration.sh

Replace cluster's CVO with development CVO release payload image

After publishing a release payload image with development CVO, you can inject its pullspec into the cluster-version-operator Deployment in an existing cluster. Only do this against disposable testing clusters.

$ pullspec=${REPO}/ocp-release:latest

$ imagePatch='{"op":"replace","path":"/spec/template/spec/containers/0/image","value":"'"$pullspec"'"}'
$ releaseImageArgPatch='{"op":"replace","path":"/spec/template/spec/containers/0/args/1","value":"--release-image='"$pullspec"'"}'
$ oc patch -n openshift-cluster-version deployment cluster-version-operator --type json --patch="[$imagePatch,$releaseImageArgPatch]"
deployment.apps/cluster-version-operator patched
