Summary

Fix for E2E workflow failure in PR #32. The RBAC apply step at line 135 was failing with exit code 1 and no output because kubectl apply was called without a --namespace flag on a namespace-scoped RBAC manifest.

Root cause

deployment/e2e-ci-runner-rbac.yaml contains metadata.namespace: headlamp-dev. When kubectl apply -f deployment/e2e-ci-runner-rbac.yaml runs without explicit --namespace, it can conflict with the namespace set in the manifest, causing a silent failure on existing resources.

Fix

Added --namespace=headlamp-dev to kubectl apply at .github/workflows/e2e.yaml:135.

Investigation

  • Run 25444677449 failed at step 11 "Apply RBAC for E2E pipeline" in <1s (not a timeout or RBAC permission issue)
  • Subsequent steps 12-17 correctly skipped due to failure cascade
  • Diagnostics and teardown steps ran correctly

Testing

E2E workflow will be re-run on this PR branch via workflow_dispatch before merge.

## Summary Fix for E2E workflow failure in PR #32. The RBAC apply step at line 135 was failing with exit code 1 and no output because `kubectl apply` was called without a `--namespace` flag on a namespace-scoped RBAC manifest. ## Root cause `deployment/e2e-ci-runner-rbac.yaml` contains `metadata.namespace: headlamp-dev`.

QA Finding: Regression Bug — Namespace Flag Missing

File:

Bug: Commit (fix(e2e): add diagnostic output...) removed the flag that was added in commit .

Before (ac2292e — correct):

kubectl apply -f deployment/e2e-ci-runner-rbac.yaml --namespace=headlamp-dev

After (fb6bdb5 — broken):

kubectl apply -f deployment/e2e-ci-runner-rbac.yaml || echo "apply returned exit code 127"

Impact: The RBAC apply step will fail again on namespace-scoped resources without the explicit namespace flag.

Action required: Add back to the kubectl apply command.
