## Overview
The Headlamp Polaris Plugin uses a multi-layered testing approach:
| Test Type | Framework | Purpose | Location |
|-----------|-----------|---------|----------|
| **Unit Tests** | Vitest | Test individual functions and components in isolation | `src/**/*.test.ts(x)` |
| **E2E Tests** | Playwright | Test complete user flows against live Headlamp instance | `e2e/*.spec.ts` |
| **Type Checking** | TypeScript | Ensure type safety across codebase | `tsc --noEmit` |
| **Linting** | ESLint | Enforce code style and catch common errors | `eslint src/` |
| **Formatting** | Prettier | Maintain consistent code formatting | `prettier --check src/` |
### Test Philosophy
1. **Unit tests** focus on business logic (data parsing, score calculation, filtering)
2. **E2E tests** validate user-facing functionality (navigation, rendering, interactions)
3. **Both** run automatically in CI on every commit
4. **Coverage** targets meaningful tests, not arbitrary percentages
---
## Unit Testing
### Framework: Vitest
Vitest is a fast, modern testing framework compatible with Jest APIs but optimized for Vite-based projects.
### Running Unit Tests
```bash
# Run all unit tests
npm test
# Run in watch mode (re-runs on file changes)
npm run test:watch
# Run specific test file
npx vitest src/api/polaris.test.ts
# Run with coverage
npx vitest --coverage
```
### Test Structure
Unit tests are colocated with source files:
```
src/
├── api/
│ ├── polaris.ts
│ ├── polaris.test.ts # Unit tests for polaris.ts
│ ├── PolarisDataContext.tsx
│ └── PolarisDataContext.test.tsx
└── components/
├── DashboardView.tsx
└── DashboardView.test.tsx
```
### Example: Testing Utility Functions
**File:** `src/api/polaris.test.ts`
```typescript
import { describe, it, expect } from 'vitest';
import { countResults, computeScore, getNamespaces, filterResultsByNamespace } from './polaris';
describe('countResults', () => {
it('counts passing, warning, danger, and skipped results correctly', () => {
const data = {
Results: [
{
Name: 'test-deployment',
Namespace: 'default',
Kind: 'Deployment',
Results: {
'check-1': { Success: true, Severity: 'warning' },
'check-2': { Success: false, Severity: 'danger' },
'check-3': { Success: false, Severity: 'ignore' }, // skipped
},
CreatedTime: '2024-01-01T00:00:00Z',
},
],
};
const counts = countResults(data);
expect(counts).toEqual({
total: 3,
pass: 1,
warning: 0,
danger: 1,
skipped: 1,
});
});
it('handles empty results', () => {
const data = { Results: [] };
const counts = countResults(data);
expect(counts).toEqual({
total: 0,
pass: 0,
warning: 0,
danger: 0,
skipped: 0,
});
});
});
describe('computeScore', () => {
it('returns 0 for zero total checks', () => {
expect(computeScore({ total: 0, pass: 0, warning: 0, danger: 0, skipped: 0 })).toBe(0);
});
it('calculates percentage correctly', () => {
expect(computeScore({ total: 100, pass: 75, warning: 20, danger: 5, skipped: 0 })).toBe(75);
});
it('rounds to nearest integer', () => {
expect(computeScore({ total: 3, pass: 2, warning: 1, danger: 0, skipped: 0 })).toBe(67);
});
});
```
### Example: Testing React Components
**File:** `src/components/DashboardView.test.tsx`
```typescript
import { describe, it, expect, vi } from 'vitest';
import { render, screen } from '@testing-library/react';
import { DashboardView } from './DashboardView';
import * as PolarisDataContext from '../api/PolarisDataContext';
describe('DashboardView', () => {
it('renders loading state', () => {
vi.spyOn(PolarisDataContext, 'usePolarisDataContext').mockReturnValue({
data: null,
loading: true,
error: null,
refresh: vi.fn(),
});
render(<DashboardView />);
expect(screen.getByText(/loading/i)).toBeInTheDocument();
});
it('renders error state', () => {
vi.spyOn(PolarisDataContext, 'usePolarisDataContext').mockReturnValue({
data: null,
loading: false,
error: '403 Forbidden',
refresh: vi.fn(),
});
render(<DashboardView />);
expect(screen.getByText(/403 Forbidden/i)).toBeInTheDocument();
});
it('displays cluster score when data is loaded', () => {
const mockData = {
DisplayName: 'test-cluster',
ClusterInfo: { Version: '1.27', Nodes: 3, Pods: 100, Namespaces: 10, Controllers: 50 },
Results: [/* ... */],
};
vi.spyOn(PolarisDataContext, 'usePolarisDataContext').mockReturnValue({
data: mockData,
loading: false,
error: null,
refresh: vi.fn(),
});
render(<DashboardView />);
expect(screen.getByText(/Cluster Score/i)).toBeInTheDocument();
});
});
```
### What to Unit Test
**Do test:**
- Pure functions (score calculation, filtering, data transformation)
- Data parsing and validation
- Utility functions
- Error handling logic
- Edge cases (empty arrays, null values, invalid input)
**Don't test:**
- Third-party libraries (Headlamp, React)
- Simple prop passing
- Trivial getters/setters
- Implementation details (internal state)
---
## E2E Testing
### Framework: Playwright
Playwright provides cross-browser testing with auto-wait, network interception, and screenshot/video capture.
### Running E2E Tests
```bash
# Run all E2E tests (headless)
npm run e2e
# Run with browser visible (headed mode)
npm run e2e:headed
# Run specific test file
npx playwright test e2e/polaris.spec.ts
# Debug mode (step through tests)
npx playwright test --debug
# Generate trace for debugging
npx playwright test --trace on
npx playwright show-trace test-results/<test-name>/trace.zip
```
### Prerequisites
**1. Headlamp Instance**
E2E tests require a running Headlamp instance with:
- Polaris plugin installed (version being tested)
- Polaris dashboard deployed and accessible
- RBAC configured (service proxy permissions)
**2. Authentication**
Choose one of two authentication methods:
**Option A: OIDC via Authentik**
```bash
export AUTHENTIK_USERNAME="user@example.com"
export AUTHENTIK_PASSWORD="password"
export HEADLAMP_URL="https://headlamp.example.com"
npm run e2e
```
**Option B: Kubernetes Token**
```bash
# Create token
export HEADLAMP_TOKEN=$(kubectl create token headlamp -n kube-system --duration=24h)
# Port-forward for local testing
kubectl port-forward -n kube-system svc/headlamp 4466:80
# Run tests
HEADLAMP_URL=http://localhost:4466 npm run e2e
```
**3. Environment Variables**
Create `.env` file (optional, for persistent config):
```bash
cp .env.example .env
```
Edit `.env`:
```bash
HEADLAMP_URL=https://headlamp.example.com
HEADLAMP_TOKEN=eyJhbGciOi...
# OR
AUTHENTIK_USERNAME=user@example.com
AUTHENTIK_PASSWORD=secret
```
### Test Coverage
#### Current E2E Tests
**File:** `e2e/polaris.spec.ts`
| Test | Description | Validates |
|------|-------------|-----------|
| `sidebar contains Polaris entry` | Polaris appears in sidebar | Plugin registration |
| `overview page renders cluster score` | Score displayed on overview | Data fetching, rendering |
| `namespaces page renders table` | Namespace table loads | Data parsing, table rendering |
| `namespace detail drawer opens` | Clicking namespace shows drawer | Navigation, drawer UI |
| `namespace detail drawer closes with Escape` | Keyboard shortcut works | Keyboard navigation |
| `namespace detail drawer opens from URL hash` | Direct URL navigation | URL routing, deep linking |
**File:** `e2e/settings.spec.ts`
| Test | Description | Validates |
|------|-------------|-----------|
| `plugin settings page is accessible` | Settings page loads | Settings registration |
| `refresh interval can be changed` | Dropdown works | User preference persistence |
| `dashboard URL can be customized` | Input field works | URL configuration |
| `connection test button works` | Test functionality | API connectivity validation |
**File:** `e2e/appbar.spec.ts`
| Test | Description | Validates |
|------|-------------|-----------|
| `app bar displays Polaris badge` | Badge visible in header | App bar integration |
| `badge shows cluster score` | Score matches dashboard | Data consistency |
| `clicking badge navigates to overview` | Navigation works | App bar action |
| `badge color reflects score` | Red/yellow/green based on score | Visual feedback |
### Writing E2E Tests
**Example: Testing User Flow**
```typescript
import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test';
test('user can view namespace details and navigate back', async ({ page }) => {
// Navigate to namespaces page
await page.goto('/c/main/polaris/namespaces');
await expect(page.getByText('Polaris — Namespaces')).toBeVisible();
// Click first namespace
const firstNamespace = page.locator('table tbody tr').first();
const namespaceName = await firstNamespace.locator('td').first().textContent();
await firstNamespace.getByRole('button').click();
// Drawer should open
await expect(page.getByText(`Polaris — ${namespaceName}`)).toBeVisible();
await expect(page).toHaveURL(new RegExp(`#${namespaceName}`));
// Close drawer with Escape
await page.keyboard.press('Escape');
await expect(page.getByText(`Polaris — ${namespaceName}`)).not.toBeVisible();
await expect(page).toHaveURL(/namespaces$/);
});
```
**Example: Testing Dark Mode Adaptation**
```typescript
test('plugin adapts to dark mode', async ({ page }) => {
await page.goto('/c/main/polaris/namespaces');
// Toggle dark mode
await page.getByLabel(/theme/i).click();
// Open namespace drawer
const firstNamespace = page.locator('table tbody tr button').first();
await firstNamespace.click();
// Drawer background should be dark
const drawer = page.locator('[style*="position: fixed"][style*="right: 0"]');
await expect(drawer).toHaveCSS('background-color', /rgb\((\d+),\s*(\d+),\s*(\d+)\)/);
});
```
### Debugging E2E Tests
**1. Headed Mode (See Browser)**
```bash
npm run e2e:headed
```
**2. Debug Mode (Step Through Tests)**
```bash
npx playwright test --debug
```
This opens Playwright Inspector where you can:
- Step through each test action
- Inspect page state
- Edit test selectors live
**3. Screenshots on Failure**
Screenshots are automatically saved to `test-results/` on failure:
```bash
test-results/
└── polaris-overview-page-renders-cluster-score/
├── test-failed-1.png
└── trace.zip
```
**4. Trace Viewer**
Record full trace (DOM snapshots, network, console):
```bash
npx playwright test --trace on
npx playwright show-trace test-results/<test-name>/trace.zip
```
**5. Verbose Logging**
```bash
DEBUG=pw:api npx playwright test
```
---
## CI/CD Integration
### GitHub Actions Workflows
#### CI Workflow (`.github/workflows/ci.yaml`)
Runs on every push to `main` and all pull requests:
```yaml
jobs:
lint-and-test:
steps:
- Build plugin
- Lint (eslint)
- Type-check (tsc)
- Format check (prettier)
- Run unit tests
```
#### E2E Workflow (`.github/workflows/e2e.yaml`)
Runs E2E tests against live Headlamp instance:
```yaml
jobs:
e2e:
steps:
- Install dependencies
- Install Playwright browsers
- Run auth setup
- Run E2E tests
- Upload artifacts on failure
```
### Required GitHub Secrets
Configure in GitHub repository settings (Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions):
| Secret | Required | Description |
|--------|----------|-------------|
| `HEADLAMP_URL` | Optional | Headlamp instance URL (defaults to configured instance) |
| `AUTHENTIK_USERNAME` | OIDC | Authentik username/email for CI user |
| `AUTHENTIK_PASSWORD` | OIDC | Authentik password |
| `HEADLAMP_TOKEN` | Token | Kubernetes service account token (alternative to OIDC) |
Set either `AUTHENTIK_USERNAME` + `AUTHENTIK_PASSWORD` **or** `HEADLAMP_TOKEN`. OIDC takes priority if both are set.
### Manual Trigger
Trigger workflows manually from GitHub Actions UI:
1. Go to Actions → [Workflow Name]
2. Click "Run workflow"
3. Select branch and run

- **Component Tests**: 50%+ for `src/components/` (critical rendering)
- **E2E Tests**: Cover all major user journeys
### Generating Coverage Reports
```bash
# Unit test coverage
npx vitest --coverage
# View HTML report
open coverage/index.html
```
---
## Best Practices
### Unit Testing
1. **Test behavior, not implementation**
-`expect(computeScore({ total: 100, pass: 75 })).toBe(75)`
-`expect(mockInternalFunction).toHaveBeenCalled()`
2. **Use descriptive test names**
-`it('returns 0 when total checks is zero')`
-`it('works')`
3. **One assertion per test (when possible)**
- Makes failures easier to debug
- Exceptions: testing multiple properties of same object
4. **Mock external dependencies**
- Mock API calls, context providers, external libraries
- Don't mock the code you're testing
5. **Test edge cases**
- Empty arrays, null values, zero counts
- Invalid input, malformed data
### E2E Testing
1. **Use semantic selectors**
-`page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Close' })`
-`page.getByText('Polaris — Overview')`
-`page.locator('.MuiButton-root')`
2. **Wait for visibility, not arbitrary timeouts**
-`await expect(element).toBeVisible()`
-`await page.waitForTimeout(5000)`
3. **Keep tests independent**
- Each test should work in isolation
- Don't rely on previous tests' state
4. **Test complete user flows**
- Navigate → Interact → Verify outcome
- Don't just test page loads
5. **Clean up after tests**
- Close drawers/modals
- Reset state if needed
6. **Use storage state for auth**
- Reuse authenticated session across tests
- Faster than logging in for every test
7. **Parallelize carefully**
- Tests must not interfere with each other
- Currently disabled due to shared cluster state
### General
1. **Run tests before committing**
```bash
npm run build && npm run lint && npm test
```
2. **Fix failing tests immediately**
- Don't commit failing tests
- Don't skip tests to "fix later"
3. **Update tests when changing code**
- Tests are documentation
- Keep them in sync with implementation
4. **Review test failures in CI**
- Check artifacts (screenshots, traces)
- Reproduce locally before fixing
---
## Debugging
### Common Issues
#### Unit Tests
**Issue: Mock not working**
```typescript
// ❌ Wrong: Mock after import
import { usePolarisData } from './polaris';
vi.mock('./polaris');
// ✅ Correct: Mock before import
vi.mock('./polaris', () => ({
usePolarisData: vi.fn(),
}));
import { usePolarisData } from './polaris';
```
**Issue: "Cannot read property of undefined"**
Check mocks are returning expected structure:
```typescript
vi.spyOn(PolarisDataContext, 'usePolarisDataContext').mockReturnValue({
data: mockData, // Ensure mockData has all required fields
loading: false,
error: null,
refresh: vi.fn(),
});
```
#### E2E Tests
**Issue: "Element not found"**
```bash
# Enable verbose logging
DEBUG=pw:api npx playwright test
# Use headed mode to see what's happening
npm run e2e:headed
```
Common causes:
- Element hasn't rendered yet (use `toBeVisible()` instead of `toBeDefined()`)
- Wrong selector (use Playwright Inspector to verify)
- Authentication failed (check token/credentials)
**Issue: "Test timeout"**
Increase timeout for slow operations:
```typescript
test('slow operation', async ({ page }) => {
test.setTimeout(60000); // 60 seconds
await page.goto('/c/main/polaris');
// ...
});
```
**Issue: Network errors in E2E tests**
```bash
# Check Headlamp accessibility
curl -I $HEADLAMP_URL
# Check Polaris service
kubectl -n polaris get svc polaris-dashboard
kubectl get --raw /api/v1/namespaces/polaris/services/polaris-dashboard:80/proxy/results.json
```
### Useful Commands
```bash
# Run specific test file
npx vitest src/api/polaris.test.ts
# Run specific test case
npx vitest -t "computes score correctly"
# Run E2E test by name
npx playwright test -g "sidebar contains Polaris"
# Update snapshots
npx vitest -u
# Clear test cache
npx vitest --clearCache
```

## Plugin Not Showing in Sidebar
### Symptoms
- Plugin appears in Settings → Plugins but sidebar entry is missing
- No "Polaris" section in navigation
- Routes like `/polaris` return 404 or blank page
### Common Causes
**1. Headlamp v0.39.0+ Plugin Loading Issue**
**Root Cause**: Headlamp v0.39.0+ changed plugin loading behavior. With `config.watchPlugins: true` (default), catalog-managed plugins are treated as "development directory" plugins, causing the backend to serve metadata but frontend to never execute the JavaScript.
**Solution**: Set `config.watchPlugins: false` in Headlamp configuration.
```yaml
# HelmRelease values
config:
watchPlugins: false # CRITICAL for plugin manager
```
After applying this change:
1. Restart Headlamp pod
2. Hard refresh browser (Cmd+Shift+R or Ctrl+Shift+R)
3. Clear browser cache if needed
**References**: See `deployment/PLUGIN_LOADING_FIX.md` for complete root cause analysis.
**2. Plugin Not Installed**
**Check plugin installation**:
```bash
# View Headlamp pod logs (plugin sidecar)
kubectl logs -n kube-system deployment/headlamp -c headlamp-plugin
# Expected output:
# Installing plugin from https://github.com/.../headlamp-polaris-plugin-X.Y.Z.tar.gz
# Plugin installed successfully
```
**Verify plugin files exist**:
```bash
kubectl exec -n kube-system deployment/headlamp -c headlamp -- ls -la /headlamp/plugins/
# Should show: headlamp-polaris-plugin/
```
**3. JavaScript Cached by Browser**
After upgrading the plugin, old JavaScript may be cached.
**Solution**:
- Hard refresh: Cmd+Shift+R (macOS) or Ctrl+Shift+R (Linux/Windows)
- Clear browser cache for Headlamp domain
- Open DevTools → Application → Clear Storage → Clear all
**4. Plugin Disabled in Settings**
**Check Settings → Plugins**:
- Navigate to Headlamp Settings → Plugins
- Ensure "Polaris" plugin is enabled (toggle should be ON)
- If disabled, enable it and refresh the page
---
## 403 Forbidden Error
### Symptoms
- Error message: "Error loading Polaris audit data: 403 Forbidden"
- Browser console shows 403 response from API proxy
- Plugin sidebar shows but data fails to load
### Root Cause
User or service account lacks `services/proxy` permission on `polaris-dashboard` service in the `polaris` namespace.
### Solution
**1. Verify RBAC Configuration**
Check if Role exists:
```bash
kubectl get role polaris-proxy-reader -n polaris -o yaml
```
Expected output:
```yaml
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
kind: Role
metadata:
name: polaris-proxy-reader
namespace: polaris
rules:
- apiGroups: [""]
resources: ["services/proxy"]
resourceNames: ["polaris-dashboard"]
verbs: ["get"]
```
**2. Verify RoleBinding**
For service account mode:
```bash
kubectl get rolebinding headlamp-polaris-proxy -n polaris -o yaml
```
Expected subjects:
```yaml
subjects:
- kind: ServiceAccount
name: headlamp
namespace: kube-system
```
For OIDC mode:
```bash
kubectl get rolebinding -n polaris -o yaml | grep -A 5 polaris-proxy-reader
```
Ensure your user or group is bound to the `polaris-proxy-reader` role.
**3. Create Missing RBAC**
If RBAC is missing, apply the minimal configuration:
```bash
kubectl apply -f - <<EOF
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
kind: Role
metadata:
name: polaris-proxy-reader
namespace: polaris
rules:
- apiGroups: [""]
resources: ["services/proxy"]
resourceNames: ["polaris-dashboard"]
verbs: ["get"]
---
apiVersion: rbac.authorization.k8s.io/v1
kind: RoleBinding
metadata:
name: headlamp-polaris-proxy
namespace: polaris
subjects:
- kind: ServiceAccount
name: headlamp
namespace: kube-system
roleRef:
kind: Role
name: polaris-proxy-reader
apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
EOF
```
**4. Test RBAC Permissions**
Service account mode:
```bash
# Impersonate Headlamp service account
kubectl auth can-i get services/proxy \
--as=system:serviceaccount:kube-system:headlamp \
--resource-name=polaris-dashboard \
-n polaris
# Expected: yes
```
OIDC mode (test as yourself):
```bash
kubectl auth can-i get services/proxy \
--resource-name=polaris-dashboard \
-n polaris
# Expected: yes (if you have proper RoleBinding)
```
**5. Restart Headlamp**
After applying RBAC changes:
```bash
kubectl rollout restart deployment headlamp -n kube-system
```
---
## 404 Not Found Error
### Symptoms
- Error message: "Error loading Polaris audit data: 404 Not Found"
- Service proxy request returns 404
- Polaris dashboard not reachable
### Root Cause
Polaris dashboard service doesn't exist or is in a different namespace.
### Solution
**1. Verify Polaris Installation**
Check if Polaris is installed:
```bash
kubectl get pods -n polaris
# Expected: polaris-dashboard-* pod running
```
Check if service exists:
```bash
kubectl get service polaris-dashboard -n polaris
# Expected: ClusterIP service on port 80
```
**2. Verify Service Name and Port**
The plugin expects:
- **Namespace**: `polaris`
- **Service Name**: `polaris-dashboard`
- **Port**: `80` (or named port `dashboard`)
If your service has a different name or is in a different namespace, you'll need to modify the plugin source or redeploy Polaris with standard naming.
**3. Test Service Proxy Manually**
```bash
kubectl proxy &
curl http://localhost:8001/api/v1/namespaces/polaris/services/polaris-dashboard:80/proxy/results.json
```
If this returns JSON, the service proxy works and the issue is elsewhere.
If this returns 404, Polaris service is not configured correctly.
**4. Check Polaris Dashboard Configuration**
Verify Polaris is running with dashboard enabled:
```bash
kubectl get deployment polaris-dashboard -n polaris -o yaml | grep -A 5 dashboard
```
If `dashboard.enabled: false` in Helm values, enable it:
```yaml
# values.yaml
dashboard:
enabled: true
```
**5. Reinstall Polaris**
If Polaris is missing or misconfigured:
```bash
helm repo add fairwinds-stable https://charts.fairwinds.com/stable
helm upgrade --install polaris fairwinds-stable/polaris \
--namespace polaris \
--create-namespace \
--set dashboard.enabled=true
```
---
## Plugin Settings Page Empty
### Symptoms
- Settings → Polaris shows title but no content
- Refresh interval and dashboard URL fields not visible
### Root Cause (Fixed in v0.3.3)
Plugin settings registration name didn't match `package.json` name.
### Solution
Upgrade to v0.3.3 or later:
```bash
# Via Headlamp UI: Settings → Plugins → Update
# Or redeploy with latest version
```
If manually installing, ensure plugin name matches `package.json`:
```typescript
registerPluginSettings('headlamp-polaris-plugin', PolarisSettings, true);
// NOT 'polaris' — must match package.json name
```
---
## Dark Mode Issues
### Symptoms
- Drawer background remains white in dark mode
- Text is hard to read in dark mode
- Theme colors don't match Headlamp UI
### Solution (Fixed in v0.3.5)
Upgrade to v0.3.5 or later for complete dark mode support.
**Verify CSS Variables**:
The plugin uses MUI CSS variables for theming:
- `--mui-palette-background-default` (drawer background)
- `--mui-palette-text-primary` (text color)
- `--mui-palette-primary-main` (links, buttons)
- `--mui-palette-error-main` (danger states)
These automatically adapt to Headlamp's theme (light/dark/system).
**Hard Refresh Required**:
After upgrading from v0.3.4 or earlier, hard refresh your browser:
- macOS: Cmd+Shift+R
- Linux/Windows: Ctrl+Shift+R
**Clear Browser Cache**:
If hard refresh doesn't help, clear cache for Headlamp domain.
---
## Data Not Loading / Infinite Spinner
### Symptoms
- Plugin shows "Loading Polaris audit data..." forever
- No error message in UI
- Data never appears
### Debugging Steps
**1. Check Browser Console**
Open DevTools (F12) → Console tab.
Look for:
- Network errors (CORS, timeouts, 5xx responses)
- JavaScript errors
- Failed API requests
**2. Check Network Tab**
Open DevTools → Network tab → Filter by "results.json"
Expected request:
```
GET /api/v1/namespaces/polaris/services/polaris-dashboard:80/proxy/results.json
Status: 200
Response: JSON data
```
Common issues:
- **Status 0 / Failed**: Network policy blocking request
- **Status 403**: RBAC issue (see [403 Forbidden Error](#403-forbidden-error))
- **Status 404**: Service not found (see [404 Not Found Error](#404-not-found-error))
- **Status 500**: Polaris dashboard error
- **Status 502/504**: Service unreachable (network policy or pod down)
**3. Check Polaris Dashboard Health**
```bash
# Check if Polaris pod is running
kubectl get pods -n polaris
# Check Polaris logs
kubectl logs -n polaris deployment/polaris-dashboard
# Test direct access to Polaris
kubectl port-forward -n polaris svc/polaris-dashboard 8080:80
curl http://localhost:8080/results.json
```
**4. Check Network Policies**
If your cluster uses NetworkPolicies:
```bash
kubectl get networkpolicy -n polaris
```
Ensure API server (or Headlamp pod) can reach Polaris dashboard.
**Example fix**:
```yaml
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: NetworkPolicy
metadata:
name: allow-api-server-to-polaris
namespace: polaris
spec:
podSelector:
matchLabels:
app.kubernetes.io/name: polaris
policyTypes:
- Ingress
ingress:
- from:
- namespaceSelector: {} # Allow from all namespaces (API server)
ports:
- protocol: TCP
port: 8080
```
**5. Increase Timeout / Disable Auto-Refresh**
If Polaris responds slowly:
- Open Settings → Polaris
- Increase refresh interval to 10+ minutes
- Or set to "Manual only" to disable auto-refresh
---
## Browser Console Errors
### Common Errors and Solutions
**Error: "Failed to fetch"**
**Cause**: Network request failed (CORS, network policy, timeout)
**Solution**:
1. Check Network tab for actual HTTP status
2. Verify network policies allow API server → Polaris
3. Check Polaris pod is running
---
**Error: "Unexpected token < in JSON"**
**Cause**: API returned HTML (error page) instead of JSON
**Solution**:
1. Check Network tab response body (likely 404 or 500 error page)
2. Verify Polaris service exists and is healthy
3. Check service proxy URL is correct
---
**Error: "registerPluginSettings is not a function"**
**Cause**: Headlamp version too old (< v0.26)
**Solution**: Upgrade Headlamp to v0.26 or later.
---
**Error: "Cannot read property 'AuditData' of undefined"**
**Cause**: Polaris returned empty or malformed response
**Solution**:
1. Check Polaris logs for errors
2. Verify Polaris is scanning the cluster (check audit timestamp)
3. Test `/results.json` endpoint directly
---
## Network and RBAC Debugging
### Comprehensive RBAC Test
Run this script to test all RBAC components:
```bash
#!/bin/bash
NS="polaris"
SA="headlamp"
SA_NS="kube-system"
echo "=== Testing RBAC for Polaris Plugin ==="
# 1. Check if service exists
echo "1. Service check:"
kubectl get svc polaris-dashboard -n $NS || echo "❌ Service not found"
# 2. Check if Role exists
echo "2. Role check:"
kubectl get role polaris-proxy-reader -n $NS || echo "❌ Role not found"
# 3. Check if RoleBinding exists
echo "3. RoleBinding check:"
kubectl get rolebinding headlamp-polaris-proxy -n $NS || echo "❌ RoleBinding not found"
# 4. Test service account permissions
echo "4. Permission test (service account):"
kubectl auth can-i get services/proxy \
--as=system:serviceaccount:$SA_NS:$SA \
--resource-name=polaris-dashboard \
-n $NS
# 5. Test actual proxy request (requires kubectl proxy)
echo "5. Proxy test:"
kubectl proxy &
PROXY_PID=$!
sleep 2
curl -s http://localhost:8001/api/v1/namespaces/$NS/services/polaris-dashboard:80/proxy/results.json | jq '.DisplayName' || echo "❌ Proxy request failed"
kill $PROXY_PID
echo "=== Test complete ==="
```
### Network Policy Debugging
Test connectivity from Headlamp to Polaris:
```bash
# Create debug pod in kube-system namespace
kubectl run netdebug -n kube-system --rm -it --image=nicolaka/netshoot -- bash
# Inside pod, test DNS and HTTP
nslookup polaris-dashboard.polaris.svc.cluster.local
curl -v http://polaris-dashboard.polaris.svc.cluster.local/results.json
```
If this fails, network policies are blocking traffic.
### API Server Audit Logs
If you have audit logging enabled, check for denied requests:
```bash
# View recent audit logs (location varies by cluster)
kubectl logs -n kube-system kube-apiserver-* | grep polaris-dashboard
# Look for lines with:
# "reason": "Forbidden"
# "user": "system:serviceaccount:kube-system:headlamp"
```

## Plugin Installation Issues
### Sidecar Fails to Install Plugin
**Symptoms**:
- Plugin sidecar logs show download errors
- Plugin directory is empty
- Settings → Plugins shows nothing
**Check sidecar logs**:
```bash
kubectl logs -n kube-system deployment/headlamp -c headlamp-plugin
```
**Common errors**:
**1. Network timeout downloading tarball**
```
Error: connect ETIMEDOUT
```
**Solution**: Check cluster egress network policies allow HTTPS to GitHub.
---
**2. Invalid tarball URL**
```
Error: 404 Not Found
```
**Solution**: Verify `archive-url` in plugin config matches GitHub release:
```bash
kubectl get configmap headlamp-plugin-config -n kube-system -o yaml
```
Expected format:
```
https://github.com/cpfarhood/headlamp-polaris-plugin/releases/download/v0.3.5/headlamp-polaris-plugin-0.3.5.tar.gz
```
---
**3. Permission denied writing to /headlamp/plugins**
**Solution**: Ensure volume mount is writable:
```yaml
volumeMounts:
- name: plugins
mountPath: /headlamp/plugins
```
---
### Plugin Manager Not Working
**Symptoms**:
- Headlamp → Settings → Plugins shows "Catalog" tab but plugins don't install
- "Install" button does nothing
**Root Cause**: Plugin manager requires `config.pluginsDir` to be set.
**Solution**: Configure Headlamp for plugin manager:
```yaml
# HelmRelease values
config:
pluginsDir: /headlamp/plugins
watchPlugins: false # CRITICAL for v0.39.0+
```
---
## ArtifactHub Sync Delays
### Symptoms
- New version released on GitHub but not showing in ArtifactHub
- Headlamp plugin catalog shows old version
### Root Cause
ArtifactHub pulls metadata every 30 minutes. There is no webhook or push mechanism.
### Solution
**Wait 30 minutes** after pushing a GitHub release, then check:
```
https://artifacthub.io/packages/headlamp/headlamp-polaris-plugin/headlamp-polaris-plugin
```
**Verify metadata**:
1. Check `artifacthub-pkg.yml` is in repository root
2. Check `headlamp/plugin/archive-url` points to GitHub release
3. Check `headlamp/plugin/archive-checksum` matches tarball SHA256
**Force sync** (ArtifactHub UI):
- Log in to ArtifactHub as package maintainer
- Go to package settings
- Click "Reindex now"
**Note**: First sync after repository registration may take up to 1 hour.
---
## Still Having Issues?
If none of these solutions work, gather debugging information and open an issue:
### Required Information
1. **Version Information**:
```bash
kubectl get pods -n kube-system -l app.kubernetes.io/name=headlamp -o yaml | grep image:
```
2. **Plugin Version**:
- Check Settings → Plugins in Headlamp UI
- Or: `kubectl exec -n kube-system deployment/headlamp -c headlamp -- cat /headlamp/plugins/headlamp-polaris-plugin/package.json`
3. **Browser Console Output**:
- Open DevTools (F12) → Console
- Screenshot or copy errors
4. **Network Tab**:
- Open DevTools → Network
- Screenshot failed requests to `results.json`
5. **Pod Logs**:
```bash
kubectl logs -n kube-system deployment/headlamp -c headlamp --tail=100
kubectl logs -n polaris deployment/polaris-dashboard --tail=100
```
6. **RBAC Configuration**:
```bash
kubectl get role,rolebinding -n polaris
```
