## What this PR does Nothing on a vm-disk application tells whether CDI ever finished populating the disk. Its WorkloadMonitor has no pods to count, and `Ready` follows the Helm release. So an import or clone that never completes can leave a green application over a disk nobody can use. cozystack/cozystack#2908 is one way to get there: a clone into a StorageClass that cannot place a replica where the source data sits. The expensive part there was the silence, not the stuck clone. The disk state was in the DataVolume phase all along, and nothing read it. With this change the WorkloadMonitor in cozystack-controller reads it. The monitor lists the DataVolumes its selector matches and reports not operational while any of them is in flight, Failed, Unknown or has no phase. An upload counts as in flight until it completes. That surfaces on the application as `WorkloadsReady=False` with reason `DataVolumeNotReady` and a message that names the DataVolume and its phase, for example `DataVolume vm-disk-x is ImportInProgress`. `Ready` still follows the HelmRelease, as for any other kind (`convertHelmReleaseToApplication` in `pkg/registry/apps/application/rest.go`), and for a vm-disk it no longer waits on the DataVolume at all. So the disk state has to be visible outside `Ready`, and this PR puts it where operators look by default: - `kubectl get` on any application kind gets a `WORKLOADS` column next to `READY`. It shows the `WorkloadsReady` status, or `<none>` when the application has no WorkloadMonitor. - The console badge turns amber and reads `DataVolumeNotReady` while `Ready` is True and `WorkloadsReady` is not True for that reason. A failing `Ready` still wins. The console shows only the disk case: other kinds need a separate decision, because a stopped VM legitimately has no pod and reports `WorkloadsReady=False` too. A Helm readiness gate on the DataVolume would be the obvious alternative, and it is not used on purpose. helm-controller runs that wait inside its reconcile, so an importing disk would hold one of the shard's worker slots for the whole install window, and a disk stuck for good would keep taking the slot back. cozystack/cozystack#4145 has the details. The monitor costs no slot, keeps watching after install, and covers existing disks without anyone writing to them. Without any gate, the install would still wait on the DataVolume. helm-controller's default poller falls back to a resource's `Ready` condition for kinds it has no rule for (`checkReadyCondition` in fluxcd/cli-utils `pkg/kstatus/status/status.go`), so a vm-disk install could hold a worker slot for the whole install timeout. The ApplicationDefinition therefore gets a `healthCheckExprs` entry for DataVolume with `current: "true"`, the same idiom postgres-rd uses for its ScaledObject. With it Helm never waits on the DataVolume. The entry is pinned by a helm-unittest in `packages/system/vm-disk-rd`, which gets a `test` target for it. Release settings reach a HelmRelease only when the application is created or updated, so an existing disk gets the entry on its next update. The reconciler that syncs definitions onto existing releases copies chartRef, valuesFrom and labels only. That affects any kind with release settings, so it is filed as cozystack/cozystack#4409 and not fixed here. `WorkloadsReady` covers every disk right away, since the monitor needs no write to the application. CDI copies the DataVolume labels onto the PVC it creates and makes the DataVolume its controller, so the monitor also publishes a `pvc-<name>` Workload for the disk. That Workload reads not operational while its DataVolume is not ready, even though the PVC is already Bound, so `kubectl get workloads` agrees with `WorkloadsReady`. While the DataVolumes cannot be read it keeps the verdict it has, like the monitor. The WorkloadMonitor CRD now requires at least one selector label. An empty selector would match every Pod, PVC, Service and DataVolume in the namespace. No chart renders one. When an application has several monitors that are not operational and only some of them name a cause, `WorkloadsReady` carries the named messages and reason only. A vm-disk has one monitor, so it does not hit this. ### Which phases count as ready Settled phases pass: `Succeeded`, `PendingPopulation`, `WaitForFirstConsumer`, `Paused`. A disk with `bindImmediately: false` on a `WaitForFirstConsumer` class rests in `PendingPopulation` or `WaitForFirstConsumer` until a VM consumes it. A multi-stage import rests in `Paused` until its next checkpoint, and the vm-disk chart renders no checkpoint source. These report ready while holding no data, because that is where such a disk is supposed to sit. `UploadReady` is not one of them. CDI enters it when the upload server pod is running and ready, and leaves it for `Succeeded` only when that pod succeeds (`updateStatusPhase` in `pkg/controller/datavolume/upload-controller.go` at v1.66.1), so the one phase covers a disk nobody has uploaded to and a half-uploaded one. A `source: upload` disk therefore reports `WorkloadsReady=False` from creation until `virtctl image-upload` completes. A phase the controller does not know also reads as ready, so a CDI release that adds or renames a phase cannot turn working disks red. The cost goes the other way: a renamed in-flight phase silently reads as settled. The list wants a re-read whenever the CDI version moves. It matches the named phases of the CDI v1.66.1 API, the version vendored in `packages/system/kubevirt-cdi-operator`. ### Clusters without CDI CDI comes with the IaaS bundle, while cozystack-controller runs everywhere, and CDI can be installed while the controller is running. A watch on a kind whose CRD is absent never syncs, and then the whole controller does not start. So the watch is not set up at startup. A runnable adds the DataVolume watch once the kind is served. It waits for the first reconcile, because only from then on does a new watch start at once, and then checks discovery right away and every 30s after that. It installs the DataVolume reader only after the DataVolume informer has synced within a timeout, because a reconcile context has no deadline and a List on an informer that never syncs would block every WorkloadMonitor reconcile. The watch source is started once: a controller-runtime `Kind` source adds an event handler to the informer and never removes it, so on a timeout the next check waits on the source it already has instead of starting another one. RBAC needs no change: the controller's ClusterRole already has read on everything. When the DataVolumes cannot be read, because the reader is not installed yet or the List fails, the monitor still publishes its replica counts and keeps its last DataVolume verdict, and a List error is returned so the request is retried and recorded as a `DataVolumesUnavailable` Warning event on the monitor. The status of a monitor without DataVolumes is not affected by a failing List. A disk whose verdict is already recorded does not read as ready in the window after a controller restart. A monitor with no recorded verdict yet, which is every monitor right after the upgrade that brings this change and any disk created right after a restart, reads ready until the DataVolume watch has synced. Because the watch starts on the first reconcile rather than on the next discovery tick, that window is the time to sync the DataVolume informer plus at most one 5s requeue, not a 30s poll interval. The window is not zero, since a monitor reconciled in it is published before its DataVolumes can be read. From then on, a reconcile that runs before the watch has synced is requeued after a few seconds, so the DataVolume events that queue it are not lost. A pass that changes nothing in the monitor status does not write it, so that requeue sends no status writes to the API server. Once the reader is installed, every monitor that holds a DataVolume verdict is queued once more. So a verdict whose DataVolume was deleted while the controller was down is recomputed then, not at the periodic resync. ### Tests The table test in `workloadmonitor_controller_test.go` covers the named phases of CDI v1.66.1, plus Failed, Unknown, an empty phase and a missing status. A second table checks the message and reason for an importing, a failed, a phaseless and a populated disk, and a third test lists two stuck DataVolumes in both orders and expects one message. It also covers a DataVolume outside the selector, the kind not being served, a List error that still publishes the replica counts, and a missing reader that keeps the last verdict. The watch tests check that the watch starts on the first reconcile and not before it. A source that never syncs leaves no reader and is retried on the same source, with the reconciles in between still requeued. A List failure records the Warning event, the sync window records none, and an unchanged pass writes no status. A manager that stops during the wait gets the cancellation back, and a reconcile that runs while the watch syncs is requeued without an error. A table test covers the PVC Workload: importing, populated, a PVC with no DataVolume controller or a controller of another kind or group, and the unread cases. A helm-unittest in `packages/system/cozystack-controller` pins the selector's `minProperties`. `rest_table_test.go` pins the `WORKLOADS` column, `rest_workloads_test.go` the condition message and reason, and `status.test.ts` the console badge, including a halted VM that stays green. In `hack/e2e-chainsaw/vminstance` the existing VMDisk scenarios now wait for the DataVolume to be Ready, then for `Ready` and `WorkloadsReady` on the VMDisk itself. That replaces the wait on the HelmRelease. Those asserts would pass even if the monitor ignored DataVolumes, so a new scenario imports from an `.invalid` URL. It first waits for the importer to have failed, which CDI reports on the DataVolume as `Running=False` with reason `Error`, and then for `Ready=True` with `WorkloadsReady=False` and reason `DataVolumeNotReady` on the VMDisk. Without the first wait the VMDisk assert passed in about a second, on a DataVolume that had no phase yet. The e2e runs on a fresh install only, so nothing here exercises an existing release across an upgrade. ### What it does not do #2908 lists possible fix directions, and none of them is here. The cross-class clone still never completes, it just stops being invisible. Keep the issue open. While the DataVolume watch syncs, every monitor is still requeued. Only the ones whose selector reaches a DataVolume need it, but the controller cannot tell which those are before it can read DataVolumes. Closes #4449 ### Screenshots There is no screenshot: I had no running console to take one from. The badge change is pinned by the vitest cases in `packages/system/dashboard/images/console/apps/console/src/lib/status.test.ts`: a VMDisk whose `WorkloadsReady` has reason `DataVolumeNotReady` goes amber, and a halted VMInstance with the generic reason stays green. ### Downstream repositories I walked the trigger map against the diff. cozystack/terraform-provider-cozystack is affected: its `wait_for_ready` reads only `Ready`, so on a `cozystack_vmdisk` it returns before the disk is populated once this lands. That needs a decision on the provider side, so it is an issue there. The release-time bot regenerates `packages/apps/vm-disk/README.md` into the website's virtualization pages, and `vm-disk` is in the `VMS` list that generator reads, so the website needs no follow-up. The ApplicationDefinition keeps its kind, plural, prefix and path. - [ ] No downstream repository is affected by this change - [ ] [cozystack/website](https://github.com/cozystack/website) - follow-up: - [x] [cozystack/terraform-provider-cozystack](https://github.com/cozystack/terraform-provider-cozystack) - follow-up: https://github.com/cozystack/terraform-provider-cozystack/issues/59 - [ ] [cozystack/ansible-cozystack](https://github.com/cozystack/ansible-cozystack) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/ccp](https://github.com/cozystack/ccp) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/talm](https://github.com/cozystack/talm) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/cozyhr](https://github.com/cozystack/cozyhr) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/cozy-proxy](https://github.com/cozystack/cozy-proxy) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/cozystack-telemetry-server](https://github.com/cozystack/cozystack-telemetry-server) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/external-apps-example](https://github.com/cozystack/external-apps-example) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/examples](https://github.com/cozystack/examples) - follow-up: - [ ] [cozystack/community](https://github.com/cozystack/community) - follow-up: ### Release note ```release-note fix(vm-disk): report whether CDI finished populating a disk in the WorkloadsReady condition, which names the stuck DataVolume and its phase. kubectl get shows WorkloadsReady in a new WORKLOADS column for every application kind, and the console badge turns amber while a disk is not populated, so a disk whose import or clone never completes no longer looks healthy. Ready of a new or updated vm-disk no longer waits for the DataVolume, so wait on WorkloadsReady to know the disk is populated. ```
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 every suite under hack/e2e-chainsaw/ through hack/e2e-chainsaw-run.sh after make install-cozystack; cluster bootstrap (hack/e2e-prepare-cluster.bats, 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../../..).

CI integration
The e2e job in .github/workflows/pull-requests.yaml runs make -C packages/core/testing test-chainsaw (which execs hack/e2e-chainsaw-run.sh inside the e2e sandbox) and uploads chainsaw-report.xml. The runner calls chainsaw test once per suite directory, fails a suite whose pods outlive its cleanup by more than the default timeouts.cleanup (LEAKED-PODS suite=<dir> in the log; see docs/agents/e2e-testing.md §8 and _lib/leak-allowlist.txt for known, filed leaks), and merges the per-suite reports into that one file. A local chainsaw test as shown above runs the same tests without the leak check. The sandbox image (packages/core/testing/images/e2e-sandbox/Dockerfile) ships the chainsaw binary alongside kubectl/helm/mc/jq/nc.
