fix(#698): update channel on image-based upgrades - #705
Conversation
When spec.desired.image and spec.desired.channel are both set, the upgrade was routed through runUpgradeWithImage which only patched the desired image and never updated the cluster's channel. This left the cluster on the old channel after a cross-minor image-based upgrade (e.g. stable-4.20 -> stable-4.21), requiring a manual follow-up. runUpgradeWithImage now syncs the cluster channel before patching the desired image when spec.desired.channel is set and differs from the current channel, mirroring runUpgradeWithChannelVersion.

Priority: ➖ Normal Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Severity of issue fixed: Medium Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The change correctly synchronizes the upgrade channel before applying the image, but its new API operations cannot be cancelled and a crafted channel value can alter the raw patch. These issues should be fixed before the upgrade behavior is merged. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Full details: Test Structure And QualityExplanation The added Ginkgo test has four assertions without meaningful failure messages: two patch assertions and the final error and result assertions. This violates the assertion-message requirement. The test otherwise uses the suite's existing BeforeEach/AfterEach mock setup, creates no cluster resources, and has no Eventually/Consistently or indefinite wait. Its channel and image checks are one related behavior, not unrelated responsibilities. Resolution Add diagnostic messages to every assertion in the new It block. For example, identify the expected channel patch and image patch in the two DoAndReturn assertions, and state that EnsureDesiredConfig must return no error and true in the final assertions.

Serialize both channel patches instead of interpolating JSON.
desired.Channel is inserted directly into raw JSON in both channel synchronization paths. The CRD accepts any string, and the operator has patch permission for clusterversions. A quote can therefore add unintended ClusterVersion.spec fields before RawPatch submits the request.
Marshal a controlled payload with encoding/json at both sites.

Propagate the reconciliation context to the added API calls.
Reconcile replaces its context with context.TODO() before calling UpgradeCluster. The channel Patch and GetClusterVersion calls therefore cannot observe reconciliation cancellation or a deadline. Pass the context through upgradeCluster, UpgradeCluster, CommenceUpgrade, EnsureDesiredConfig, runUpgradeWithImage, and GetClusterVersion. Ensure it has a bounded deadline before these API calls.

Description
Fixes #698
When an
UpgradeConfighasspec.desired.imagepopulated alongsidespec.desired.channelandspec.desired.version, the operator performs the version upgrade but never updates the cluster's channel to matchspec.desired.channel. After a cross-minor image-based upgrade (e.g.stable-4.20->stable-4.21), the cluster is left on the old channel and must be corrected manually viaoc adm upgrade channel.The root cause is that when
spec.desired.imageis set,checkUpgradeSourceroutes the upgrade throughrunUpgradeWithImage, which only patchedspec.desiredUpdate.imageand never touched the channel. Channel syncing only happened inrunUpgradeWithChannelVersion.Change
runUpgradeWithImagenow syncs the cluster channel before patching the desired image whenspec.desired.channelis set and differs from the currentcv.Spec.Channel, mirroring the behavior ofrunUpgradeWithChannelVersion. Image-only upgrades (no channel provided) are unaffected.Testing
