Summary

Adds support for loading OTE extension binaries directly from the local filesystem via the --extension-binaries CLI flag or EXTENSION_LOCAL_BINARIES environment variable. Supports multiple binaries using colon-separated paths.

JIRA: INTEROP-9204 - OTE integration for OPP (Layered Products Interop)

Motivation

LP Interop Use Case

For Layered Products Interop (LP Interop) testing, the Step Container image is built as a composite container containing both:

  • openshift-tests (test orchestrator)
  • Extension test binaries (e.g., /usr/bin/interop-tests-ext.gz)

Since both binaries already exist in the same container filesystem, the current off-payload discovery mechanism introduces unnecessary complexity.

Current Off-Payload Discovery Overhead

The existing TestExtensionAdmission CRD-based discovery requires:

  1. Installing CRD on the cluster under test
  2. Creating TestExtensionAdmission CR with permit patterns
  3. Creating annotated ImageStreamTags pointing to extension images
  4. Ensuring cluster can pull extension images from registry
  5. Running oc image extract to download and extract binaries from remote images

This overhead makes sense when:

  • Extension binaries are packaged in operator images (not the test pod)
  • Binaries come from external product teams who don't control the test container
  • Test infrastructure needs to discover binaries from cluster resources

This overhead is unnecessary when:

  • Extension binaries are already in the test container (composite image)
  • LP Interop team controls both openshift-tests and extension binaries
  • No network calls or image extraction needed - binaries are on local filesystem

LP Interop Requirements

LP Interop needs to:

  • Use openshift-tests for test orchestration (monitoring, disruption tracking, cluster state management)
  • Load extension binaries from local filesystem (/usr/bin/*.gz)
  • Avoid CRD/ImageStream setup complexity
  • Simplify CI workflow (no setup steps before running tests)

This PR enables the composite container pattern:

Container Image:
  /usr/bin/openshift-tests          (orchestrator)
  /usr/bin/interop-tests-ext.gz     (LP Interop extension tests)
  /usr/share/interop-tests/scripts/ (test scripts)

Runtime:
  EXTENSION_LOCAL_BINARIES=/usr/bin/interop-tests-ext.gz
  openshift-tests run-suite interop/opp

Changes

  • Added --extension-binaries flag to run command (supports colon-separated paths for multiple binaries)
  • Added EXTENSION_LOCAL_BINARIES env var support (colon-separated paths for multiple binaries)
  • Modified ExtractAllTestBinaries() to load from local paths before payload extraction
  • Handles gzipped binaries (.gz suffix detection)
  • Sets executable permissions (chmod 0755)
  • Maintains backward compatibility (falls back to off-payload if no local binaries specified)

Usage

Via CLI flag (single binary):

openshift-tests run-suite interop/cnv-odf \
  --extension-binaries /usr/bin/interop-tests-ext.gz

Via CLI flag (multiple binaries):

openshift-tests run-suite interop/cnv-odf \
  --extension-binaries /usr/bin/test1.gz:/usr/bin/test2.gz

Via environment variable (multiple binaries):

EXTENSION_LOCAL_BINARIES=/usr/bin/test1.gz:/usr/bin/test2.gz \
openshift-tests run-suite interop/cnv-odf

Local-only mode (skip payload extraction):

EXTENSION_LOCAL_BINARIES=/usr/bin/interop-tests-ext.gz \
EXTENSION_LOCAL_BINARIES_ONLY=true \
openshift-tests run-suite interop/opp
# Only loads local binaries, skips payload extraction entirely

Additive mode (local + payload binaries, default):

EXTENSION_LOCAL_BINARIES=/usr/bin/custom-tests.gz \
openshift-tests run-suite interop/cnv-odf
# Uses both custom-tests.gz AND payload binaries

Benefits

  • ✅ Eliminates CRD/IST discovery complexity for local binaries
  • ✅ Reduces startup overhead (no network calls, no oc image extract)
  • ✅ Simplifies Step Container design (composite image approach)
  • ✅ Maintains openshift-tests monitoring features (disruption tracking, alerts, cluster state)
  • ✅ Enables LP Interop to use openshift-tests orchestration without off-payload setup
  • ✅ Backward compatible (existing off-payload discovery still works)

Implementation Details

Local binary handling:

  • Gzipped binaries (.gz) are decompressed to temp directory
  • Original source files preserved (not deleted)
  • Temp files automatically cleaned up after test execution
  • Non-gzipped binaries used directly from their original path

Validation:

  • Errors on non-empty input that produces no valid paths (e.g., ":" or whitespace)
  • Errors when EXTENSION_LOCAL_BINARIES_ONLY set but no local binaries loaded
  • File existence checked before processing

Cleanup:

  • Local temp files removed after tests complete
  • Payload cleanup still works in additive mode
  • Combined cleanup function handles both sources

Testing

Tested with local extension binary:

  • Binary loaded from filesystem ✅
  • Gzip extraction working (preserves original) ✅
  • Multiple binaries supported ✅
  • Extension tests discovered and executed ✅
  • Monitoring features active ✅
  • Local-only mode validated ✅
  • Additive mode validated ✅
  • Input validation working ✅
  • Cleanup verified ✅

Background

This addresses LP Interop integration requirements for INTEROP-9204. The composite container pattern is the recommended approach for test scenarios where both the orchestrator and extension binaries are built and distributed together, as opposed to operator-based scenarios where binaries come from separate product images.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added support for loading extension test binaries directly from local filesystem paths using the --extension-binaries option or environment configuration.
    • Added an option to use only locally provided extension binaries without extracting binaries from images.
    • Local compressed binaries are automatically decompressed while preserving the original files.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved validation and error reporting for invalid or missing local binary paths.
    • Temporary decompressed files are now cleaned up automatically after use.

This adds support for loading OTE extension binaries directly from the
local filesystem via the --extension-binaries CLI flag or
EXTENSION_LOCAL_BINARIES environment variable.

Motivation:
For LP Interop use cases where the Step Container already contains both
openshift-tests and extension binaries, the current off-payload discovery
mechanism (TestExtensionAdmission CRD + ImageStreamTag) introduces
unnecessary overhead. This flag allows bypassing that discovery when
binaries are already present locally.

Changes:
- Added --extension-binaries flag to run command
- Added EXTENSION_LOCAL_BINARIES env var support
- Modified ExtractAllTestBinaries to load from local paths
- Updated all call sites to pass new parameter

Usage:
  openshift-tests run-suite interop/cnv-odf \
    --extension-binaries /usr/bin/interop-tests-ext.gz

Or via env var:
  EXTENSION_LOCAL_BINARIES=/usr/bin/test1.gz:/usr/bin/test2.gz \
  openshift-tests run-suite interop/cnv-odf

Benefits:
- Eliminates CRD/IST discovery complexity
- Reduces startup overhead (no oc image extract)
- Simplifies Step Container design
- Maintains openshift-tests monitoring features

Walkthrough

The extraction API now accepts local extension binary paths. Ginkgo exposes the paths through a flag and environment variable. Local .gz files use temporary decompressed files, and local-only extraction is supported.

Changes

Local extension binary extraction

Layer / File(s) Summary
Local binary preparation
pkg/test/extensions/binary.go, pkg/test/extensions/util.go
ExtractAllTestBinaries validates local paths, preserves .gz sources, writes decompressed content to temporary files, and reports close or cleanup failures.
Extraction modes and cleanup
pkg/test/extensions/binary.go
When EXTENSION_LOCAL_BINARIES_ONLY is set, payload extraction is skipped. Normal extraction combines local and payload binaries. Error and returned cleanup paths remove local temporary files and invoke payload cleanup.
Caller configuration
pkg/test/ginkgo/cmd_runsuite.go, pkg/cmd/openshift-tests/images/images_command.go, pkg/cmd/openshift-tests/list/extensions.go, pkg/testsuites/standard_suites.go
Ginkgo adds the --extension-binaries flag and EXTENSION_LOCAL_BINARIES default. Other callers pass an empty local path value. Result handling remains unchanged.

🟠 Major · Make local-only selection explicit without dropping payload binaries. · binary.go:634-693

pkg/test/extensions/binary.go:634-693
🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | 🏗️ Heavy lift

Make local-only selection explicit without dropping payload binaries.

--extension-binaries is documented to load local binaries without payload or non-payload extraction. However, ExtractAllTestBinaries returns before loading them when OPENSHIFT_SKIP_EXTERNAL_TESTS is set. Otherwise, it performs payload selection, provider setup, and admission discovery before returning the local binaries. This blocks local-only binary discovery without payload or cluster access.

Do not use a non-empty localBinaryPaths value as an unconditional early return. The function currently appends local binaries to the payload and permitted non-payload binaries, so that branch would drop payload binaries in additive mode. Add an explicit local-only mode that bypasses payload setup, and retain the existing append behavior when local and payload sources are selected together.

Addresses CodeRabbit review feedback:

1. Fix ungzip() issue (MAJOR):
   - Local .gz files now decompress to temp directory
   - Original source file preserved (was being deleted)
   - Temp files tracked and cleaned up properly
   - Fixes idempotency (can run tests multiple times)

2. Add input validation (MINOR):
   - Reject non-empty input that produces no valid paths
   - Error on inputs like ":" or whitespace
   - Helps catch typos and configuration errors

3. Add local-only mode (MAJOR):
   - New EXTENSION_LOCAL_BINARIES_ONLY env var
   - When set, skips payload extraction entirely
   - Default (unset): additive mode (local + payload binaries)

New helper function:
- decompressGzipToFile(): decompress without deleting source
- Used for local binaries to preserve user files
- ungzipFile() updated with warning about deletion

Testing:
- Local .gz binaries: decompress to /tmp/local-ext-*.bin
- Original files preserved in container
- Multiple binaries supported
- Cleanup handled correctly

Fixed in commit 6449fae

Added validation to track if any valid path was extracted:

hasValidPath := false
for _, path := range paths {
    path = strings.TrimSpace(path)
    if path == "" {
        continue
    }
    hasValidPath = true
    // ... process path
}

if !hasValidPath {
    cleanupLocalFiles()
    return nil, nil, nil, fmt.Errorf("--extension-binaries specified but no valid paths found (input was %q)", localBinaryPaths)
}

Now correctly rejects inputs like ":" or whitespace with a clear error message.

Use named return error with deferred close handlers to ensure
Close() errors are properly propagated instead of being silently
discarded.

This prevents ExtractAllTestBinaries from loading incomplete
binaries if Close() fails during decompression.

pkg/test/extensions/binary.go:655-657
🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Clean local temporary files on every normal-mode error path.

When a local .gz file is prepared, the temporary path is tracked. Normal-mode errors from payload setup or extraction return without calling cleanupLocalFiles(). The combined cleanup is created only on the success path. Repeated failures can therefore leave decompressed executable files in the system temporary directory.

Call cleanupLocalFiles() on every error return after local preparation. Transfer cleanup ownership only after successful setup.

   - Reject directories, FIFOs, symlinks to non-files
   - Clear error message with file mode

4. Fix temp file leak on Close() failure
   - Remove tempPath before returning Close() error
   - Discovered during thorough review

All 13 error paths now properly clean up temp files.

Do not change permissions on the configured source file.

For non-gzip input, unzippedPath is the configured source path. os.Chmod changes that source file, while TestBinary later executes the same path. Copy the source to a managed temporary file before changing permissions, and add the copy to localTempFiles.

Preserve the existing close error while logging the removal failure or joining

Critical fixes:
1. Copy non-.gz files to temp before chmod (Issue openshift#1 - MAJOR)
   - Previous code modified source file permissions
   - Now ALL files (both .gz and non-.gz) copied to temp
   - chmod only on temp copy, source preserved

2. Capture both Close() and Remove() errors (Issue openshift#3)
   - When Close() fails AND Remove() fails, report both
   - Clear error messages for debugging

3. Add copyFile() helper function
   - Copies file to temp with proper error handling
   - Named return for Close() error capture
   - Consistent with decompressGzipToFile pattern

Issue openshift#2 (TOCTOU race): Not addressed
- Acceptable risk: we're copying files, not modifying
- File changes between Stat and copy will fail safely
- No corruption risk since copy is read-only

All local binaries now have consistent handling:
- Both .gz and non-.gz copied to managed temp files
- Source files never modified
- All temp files tracked for cleanup
- All error paths handle cleanup properly

This check is getting called for commands the explicitly pass in empty local extensions like images & list which explicitly pass empty local binary paths. It would be better to pass the localOnly flag via the api as well along with the list of local binary paths.

…ameter

Changes based on review comments from @neisw:

1. Use StringSliceVar instead of delimiter parsing:
   - Changed LocalExtensionBinaries from string to []string
   - Use flags.StringSliceVar for --extension-binaries flag
   - Maintain backward compatibility with EXTENSION_LOCAL_BINARIES env var
     by parsing colon-separated values

2. Pass localOnly flag via API instead of reading env var:
   - Added LocalExtensionBinariesOnly bool field to GinkgoRunSuiteOptions
   - Added --extension-binaries-only flag
   - Pass localOnly as parameter to ExtractAllTestBinaries()
   - Fixes issue where images/list commands explicitly pass empty paths
     but function was reading env var directly

Updated ExtractAllTestBinaries signature:
  func ExtractAllTestBinaries(ctx, parallelism, []string, bool)

Updated all call sites:
  - cmd_runsuite.go: passes o.LocalExtensionBinaries, o.LocalExtensionBinariesOnly
  - standard_suites.go: passes nil, false
  - list/extensions.go: passes nil, false
  - images/images_command.go: passes nil, false

@neisw Thanks for the review! I've addressed both comments:

1. ✅ Use StringSliceVar instead of delimiter parsing

  • Changed LocalExtensionBinaries from string to []string
  • Using flags.StringSliceVar for --extension-binaries flag
  • Maintained backward compatibility: still parse EXTENSION_LOCAL_BINARIES env var as colon-separated values

2. ✅ Pass localOnly flag via API

  • Added LocalExtensionBinariesOnly bool field to GinkgoRunSuiteOptions
  • Added --extension-binaries-only flag
  • Updated ExtractAllTestBinaries() to take localOnly bool parameter instead of reading env var
  • All callers now explicitly pass false (images, list, standard_suites) or the flag value (cmd_runsuite)

This fixes the issue where images and list commands pass empty local binary paths but the function was checking the env var anyway.

Updated signature:

func ExtractAllTestBinaries(ctx context.Context, parallelism int, localBinaryPaths []string, localOnly bool)

Per neisw's review feedback: move the env var parsing block up to after
monitorNames initialization, grouping variable initialization together
at the top of the BindFlags function for better readability.

The extension binaries flag registration remains at the bottom with
other flags, only the env var parsing/initialization moved up.

@neisw Fixed the readability issue!

Moved the EXTENSION_LOCAL_BINARIES env var parsing block up to after monitorNames initialization (near the top of BindFlags()).

Before: Env parsing was at the bottom right before flag registration
After: Env parsing at top (line ~129), flag registration stays at bottom

This groups variable initialization together for better readability while keeping flag registration in order.

@neisw I actually wonder if --extension-local-binaries[-only] is a better flag? This match the corresponding env. var. What do you think?

@etirta - agree, good catch. Though now that I look at it closer, should it be --local-extension-binaries[-only] and matching envar names?

@amiskin94 either way seems ok to me. But I think --extension-local-binaries stress it is a local binary more. Just my 2 cents. @neisw may have better insight.

/override-sticky ci/prow/e2e-metal-ipi-ovn-ipv6

Automated triage: This failure appears unrelated to the PR changes.

Job classification: Eligible long-running e2e/integration job. This is the baremetalds-e2e-ovn-ipv6 workflow on equinix-ocp-metal, with the baremetalds-e2e-test test step; the run lasted 3h51m50s.
Revision check: Run SHA 08886ecee77eebf123bc1801fca480c7002b3f9b; current PR HEAD 08886ecee77eebf123bc1801fca480c7002b3f9b; match.
Execution status: Tests executed. The suite ran for 1h24m13s and reported 2075 passed, 0 flaky, 2140 skipped, 1 blocking failure, and 10 informing failures. The blocking failure was [sig-arch] Managed cluster should have operators on the cluster version [apigroup:config.openshift.io] [Suite:openshift/conformance/parallel]; the log shows test-instance with []v1.OperandVersion(nil) at operators.go:176.
Completed supporting jobs: ci/prow/e2e-aws-ovn-microshift-serial, ci/prow/unit, ci/prow/lint, ci/prow/verify, ci/prow/verify-deps, ci/prow/go-verify-deps, ci/prow/images, ci/prow/okd-scos-images, and ci/prow/agentic-images succeeded. Pending and not used as positive signal: ci/prow/e2e-aws-ovn-serial-1of2, ci/prow/e2e-gcp-ovn, and tide.
Fleet-wide failure rate: The exact job pass rate was 66.7% over the last 14 days. For the relevant 5.1 release, the failing test was 99.9% globally, 98.2% on metal, 94.4% on IPv6, and 89.5% on disconnected runs.
Open regressions: None found in the available Component Readiness data; no specific open regression was returned for this test.
Linked bugs: OCPBUGS-600 — status Closed, summary Test labels for API groups reverted; it is the explicit bug_tests association but is historical and not an open bug for this failure.
Overlap assessment: The PR changes local extension-binary loading in six files, centered on pkg/test/extensions/binary.go and its callers. The failure is in the cluster-operator status assertion at pkg/.../operators.go:176, where the synthetic test-instance operator reported a nil/empty operand-version list. There is no plausible direct overlap or evidence of indirect overlap with the changed extension-loading path.
Missing-coverage risk: Low for the PR's extension-binary change: the failing assertion is unrelated, 2075 tests passed, and the same exact failure occurs outside this PR. There remains residual bare-metal IPv6 coverage risk because this job is the coverage source, but the failed signal is a known environment-correlated operator-status failure rather than evidence against this change.
Prior bot activity on this SHA: The supplied activity includes /test e2e-metal-ipi-ovn-ipv6 by openshift-merge-bot at 2026-09-22T06:25:40Z, 09:01:13Z, and 16:43:00Z on this PR; no prior override is shown. No further retest is requested.
Rationale: The identical failure appears on unrelated PRs and periodic jobs, and the relevant platform-filtered failure rates are below the known-flake threshold. The current PR's completed unit, lint, verification, image, dependency, and another e2e check provide supporting signal. The failure is therefore unrelated to the extension-binary loading changes.

If you disagree with this assessment, rerun the current job with /test e2e-metal-ipi-ovn-ipv6.
