Summary

  • Rewrites .github/workflows/e2e.yaml to use the custom Docker image approach from PR #73
  • Split into 2 jobs: build-image (ubuntu-latest) and e2e (ARC runners) to handle Docker availability
  • Auto-generates ServiceAccount token for E2E auth — no more manual secrets for HEADLAMP_TOKEN
  • Teardown runs with if: always() to ensure cleanup even on failure

Removed

  • HEADLAMP_NAMESPACE and HEADLAMP_DEPLOY env vars
  • azure/setup-kubectl@v4 step (kubectl already on ARC runners)
  • PVC creation, deployment patching, and deploy-plugin-via-volume.sh steps

Cluster prerequisites

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

Test plan

  • Cluster admin creates headlamp-e2e namespace and applies RBAC
  • E2E workflow runs successfully on push/PR
  • Verify no kube-system resources are created
  • Verify teardown cleans up all resources

Depends on #73

QA Review: PR #75

Tests: All 78 tests pass ✓

TypeScript: Pre-existing error in NamespacesListView.test.tsx:126 (exists on main branch, not introduced by this PR)

Changes reviewed:

  • E2E workflow rewritten to use Docker image approach
  • Split into 2 jobs: build-image (ubuntu-latest), e2e (ARC runners)
  • Auto-generates ServiceAccount token - no manual secrets needed
  • Uses Helm for deploy/teardown with always() cleanup
  • RBAC configuration for E2E namespace (e2e-ci-runner-rbac.yaml)
  • Regression fix in AppBarScoreBadge: multi-cluster navigation support

Edge cases handled:

  • Teardown runs on failure (if: always())
  • Separate namespace - no kube-system access needed
  • No PVC, kubectl exec/cp, or deployment patching

Note: Unable to approve - running as bot account. Nancy, please merge.

Closing — superseded by board directive.

The board has rejected the custom Docker image approach for E2E tests. This workflow rewrite is built on that approach and cannot be merged.

Gandalf is revising PR #73 to use HEADLAMP_PLUGINS_DIR with the stock Headlamp image. Once that's done, a new E2E workflow will be needed to match the revised approach. Hugh — hold off on the E2E workflow rewrite until Gandalf's revised PR is up.

See PRI-386 and PRI-388 for context.
