.chainsaw.yaml states the rule and says why: an op that expires before
its inner bounds do is a SIGKILL on the process group, which takes out
the diagnostics the failure branch exists to print, while an inner
timeout leaves a partial capture and lets the remaining steps run.
refresh-and-assert-full-health, added on this branch, breaks it. The
poll deadline is 270s, the last in-loop read can start just under it and
run 25s, and the failure branch then reads again for another 25s: 320s
of inner bounds under a 5m op. Raised to 6m.
verify-processes-and-security-context breaks it harder and did so
before this branch: 240s for the process counts, then 120s for
connectionString and 120s for generations.reconciled, sequentially, is
480s under the same 5m. Fixed here rather than filed, because it is the
same defect one step away, found by applying the rule to the neighbour.
Raised to 9m.
The kubernetes-latest ceiling gets the measurement instead of a change.
The OIDC lifecycle folded onto that cluster adds up to 1m + 600s + 1m of
passing-path waits that the 67m op does not price, and raising the op is
not available: a guard holds COZY_OP_CEILING equal to both suites'
timeout, and two suites at 79m plus their teardowns exceed the job's
215-minute cap. On the green run of this branch the whole Test took
569.72s against the 4020s op, with kubernetes-previous at 470.19s. The
ceilings only bind once something is already hung, which is what the
existing residual note (#3666) says; now it says it with a number.
Adapted for release-1.6: the kubernetes-latest op here is 40m and no
guard ties it to another figure, so its note states what it does not
price instead of citing the COZY_OP_CEILING guard, the 67m ceiling and
the main-branch measurement, none of which exist on this branch.

Chainsaw E2E tests
The Cozystack E2E app suite, written for Kyverno Chainsaw — a declarative, Kubernetes-native E2E test framework (CNCF, part of the Kyverno project; successor to KUTTL).
This directory replaces the per-app BATS suite that used to live in hack/e2e-apps/*.bats. The CI e2e job runs chainsaw test hack/e2e-chainsaw/ after make install-cozystack; cluster bootstrap (hack/e2e-install-cozystack.bats) and the OpenAPI checks (hack/e2e-test-openapi.bats) remain BATS.

What Chainsaw buys over the BATS suite
- Readable tests — a list of resources and expected states, not shell control flow. The
timeout N sh -ec "until kubectl get ..."+kubectl waitpair that appeared ~100 times collapses into a singleassertthat polls existence and state together. - Distinguishable failure modes — "object never created", "created but never ready", and "wrong status" all surface as a structured diff instead of an opaque shell timeout.
- Automatic diagnostics —
catchblocks dump events,describe, and pod logs on any failure (the BATS suite only did this inharbor.bats, by hand). - Automatic cleanup — resources Chainsaw applied are deleted (and waited on) in reverse order;
finallycovers operator-created leftovers. - CI-ready output — a JUnit
chainsaw-report.xmlis emitted for the test summary.
Test anatomy
Each suite is a directory with a chainsaw-test.yaml (one or more Test docs) plus the manifests it applies. A step has try (operations: apply, assert, error, script, delete, …), optional catch (diagnostics on failure), and optional finally (teardown regardless of outcome).
Declarative suites assert on status.conditions and concrete fields. Inherently imperative suites keep their logic in script steps:
- openbao —
bao operator init/unsealviakubectl exec. - kuberture —
jqon Service annotations + external-dns split-horizon log assertions. - gateway — admission-rejection cases that need
kubectl --asimpersonation or error-message greps; the tenant apex is read from the namespacenamespace.cozystack.io/hostlabel at runtime so they pass on any host. - kubernetes-latest/previous — wrap
_lib/run-kubernetes.sh(Kamaji bringup, port-forward, LB/NFS/ouroboros). The scriptcds to the repo root (the test dir ishack/e2e-chainsaw/<suite>, so repo root is../../..).
Conventions / gotchas (Chainsaw v0.2.15)
- Condition asserts use the filter-as-list form, not the documented
[0]index:Thestatus: (conditions[?type == 'Ready']): - status: "True"(conditions[?type == 'Ready'])[0]: {status: "True"}idiom fails with "field not found in the input object". - A reading of a failure diff: the "actual" side is a projection onto the expected fields —
status: {}means the JMESPath expression failed, not that status is empty. Read the error line above the diff first. errorwith a bare resource ref (name only) asserts the resource does not exist (used for "PVC reclaimed", "no backup schedule", "child has no Gateway HR").scriptruns in the test directory with$NAMESPACEset to the config namespace (tenant-test).
Running locally
Requires a cluster with Cozystack installed and a tenant-test namespace (the environment hack/e2e-install-cozystack.bats produces). bucket additionally needs mc and nc on the host; kuberture/openbao/harbor need jq.
# install chainsaw
go install github.com/kyverno/chainsaw@latest # or: brew install kyverno/chainsaw/chainsaw
# run all suites (config picked up from .chainsaw.yaml)
cd hack/e2e-chainsaw
chainsaw test
# run a single suite
chainsaw test postgres/
kubernetes-latest/kubernetes-previous each bring up a full tenant Kubernetes cluster (~25 min, real worker nodes) and vminstance boots a nested VM — expect a long run for the full set.
CI integration
The e2e job in .github/workflows/pull-requests.yaml runs make -C packages/core/testing test-chainsaw (which execs chainsaw test hack/e2e-chainsaw/ inside the e2e sandbox) and uploads chainsaw-report.xml. The sandbox image (packages/core/testing/images/e2e-sandbox/Dockerfile) ships the chainsaw binary alongside kubectl/helm/mc/jq/nc.
