The test released the blocked reconciler right after the update call returned,
but the update event still had to travel back through the informer. When the
reconciliation failed before the event was registered, the framework treated
the failure as a plain retry (consuming the last attempt) instead of instantly
re-triggering because of a superseding event, so only 4 instead of 5
reconciliations happened.

Wait for isNextReconciliationImminent() in the reconciler, which reflects
exactly the state the framework checks after the reconciliation fails and
cannot be unset while it is in progress. Also fix the isWaiting() assertion
that had no terminal assertion and was therefore a no-op.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved detection of pending reconciliation events after resource deletion when processing all events, ensuring reconciliation timing reflects superseding events.
    • Kept retry behavior consistent while using the unified pending-reconciliation check.
  • Documentation

    • Clarified when the next reconciliation is scheduled, including after successful or failed reconciliations and events received after deletion.
  • Tests

    • Strengthened integration tests to verify that reconciliation waits for superseding events during retry scenarios.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The event processor centralizes imminent-reconciliation detection and includes post-delete events when all-event triggering is enabled. The Context Javadoc documents this behavior. An integration test now verifies that the reconciler is waiting.

Changes

Imminent reconciliation detection

Layer / File(s) Summary
Event processor detection logic
operator-framework-core/src/main/java/io/javaoperatorsdk/operator/processing/event/EventProcessor.java
Retry handling now uses the shared resource-state helper. The synchronized public check also detects an additional event after a delete event when all-event triggering is enabled.
API documentation and integration validation
operator-framework-core/src/main/java/io/javaoperatorsdk/operator/api/reconciler/Context.java, operator-framework/src/test/java/io/javaoperatorsdk/operator/baseapi/triggerallevent/eventing/TriggerReconcilerOnAllEventIT.java
The Javadoc describes scheduling after success, failure, and post-delete events. The integration test now asserts that the reconciler is waiting and documents event registration timing.

As it stands, the framework core does not build: a method in the event processor is missing a brace, so compilation fails for the library and everything depending on it. Additionally, an earlier concern remains open where an event arriving after a delete can be reported as triggering an upcoming reconciliation while being discarded during successful delete cleanup. Both should be addressed before merging.

operator-framework-core/src/main/java/io/javaoperatorsdk/operator/api/reconciler/Context.java:258

  • The new API wording promises that this condition holds regardless of success or failure, but a successful delete-event execution is terminal: eventProcessingFinished cleans up at lines 309–311 instead of scheduling a follow-up, even when a post-delete event is present. Please qualify this statement to the retry-enabled failure path so callers are not told that true always means another reconciliation will run.
   * <p>This holds regardless of whether the current reconciliation succeeds or throws, so with
   * {@link ControllerConfiguration#triggerReconcilerOnAllEvents()} it also covers an event that
   * arrived after a delete event.

operator-framework-core/src/main/java/io/javaoperatorsdk/operator/processing/event/EventProcessor.java:520

  • This documentation overstates the success-path behavior: when the current ExecutionScope is a delete event, eventProcessingFinished takes the cleanup branch at lines 309–311 and does not submit another reconciliation, even if an additional post-delete event is present. The additional state is used to trigger an immediate follow-up in handleRetryOnException, not unconditionally after both success and failure; please narrow this wording to the retry/failure case or update the success path if that is the intended contract.
   * reconciliation right after the current one, both when it succeeds (see {@link
   * #eventProcessingFinished}) and when it fails (see {@link #handleRetryOnException}), so it has
   * to be reported as imminent too.

operator-framework-core/src/main/java/io/javaoperatorsdk/operator/processing/event/EventProcessor.java:520

  • This branch makes isNextReconciliationImminent() report true for an additional event while the current execution is a delete execution, but eventProcessingFinished checks executionScope.isDeleteEvent() first and calls cleanupForDeletedEvent, removing the state before the later pending-event branch can submit a reconciliation. Thus a successful delete reconciliation can cause this newly reported event to be dropped, leaving callers that skip work based on this flag with no follow-up reconciliation. Adjust the successful-completion path (and add a regression test) so the additional event is retained and dispatched, or do not report it as imminent in this case.
   * An event that arrives after a delete event is tracked in a dedicated state, so {@link
   * ResourceState#eventPresent()} alone does not cover it. Such an event triggers a new
   * reconciliation right after the current one, both when it succeeds (see {@link
   * #eventProcessingFinished}) and when it fails (see {@link #handleRetryOnException}), so it has
   * to be reported as imminent too.

The test released the blocked reconciler right after the update call returned,
but the update event still had to travel back through the informer. When the
reconciliation failed before the event was registered, the framework treated
the failure as a plain retry (consuming the last attempt) instead of instantly
re-triggering because of a superseding event, so only 4 instead of 5
reconciliations happened.

Wait for isNextReconciliationImminent() in the reconciler, which reflects
exactly the state the framework checks after the reconciliation fails and
cannot be unset while it is in progress. The reconciliation triggered by the
superseding event reuses the same retry execution, so its attempt count is
still 1 and it would enter the wait too, this time never being released;
guard the wait with a one-shot flag. Also fix the isWaiting() assertion that
had no terminal assertion and was therefore a no-op.
Context.isNextReconciliationImminent() only checked ResourceState.eventPresent(),
which is false for ADDITIONAL_EVENT_PRESENT_AFTER_DELETE_EVENT. In
triggerReconcilerOnAllEvents mode that state does trigger a new reconciliation
right after the current one, both on the success path
(eventProcessingFinished) and on the failure path (handleRetryOnException), so
the method contradicted its own contract and a reconciler could skip a status
update that nothing else would produce.

Extract the condition handleRetryOnException already computed into a shared
helper and use it for isNextReconciliationImminent() too, so the two cannot
drift apart again. The condition is the one that holds regardless of whether
the current reconciliation succeeds or throws; documented on Context.
