Summary by CodeRabbit

• Chores
  • Updated CI configuration to optimize test execution by running gateway API conformance tests only when relevant code is modified.

Walkthrough

A single line is added to the cluster-ingress-operator CI configuration, introducing a run_if_changed trigger pattern to the e2e-aws-gatewayapi-conformance job. The pattern constrains job execution to changes affecting gateway-api manifests, ingress-operator code, build scripts, gatewayapi controller code, or e2e tests.

Changes

Gateway API Conformance Job CI Trigger

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Job execution trigger configuration ci-operator/config/openshift/cluster-ingress-operator/openshift-cluster-ingress-operator-master.yaml	The e2e-aws-gatewayapi-conformance job adds a run_if_changed regex selector matching gateway-api manifests, operator commands, scripts, gatewayapi controller, and e2e test paths.

Check name	Status	Explanation
Description Check	✅ Passed	Check skipped - CodeRabbit’s high-level summary is enabled.
Docstring Coverage	✅ Passed	No functions found in the changed files to evaluate docstring coverage. Skipping docstring coverage check.
Linked Issues check	✅ Passed	Check skipped because no linked issues were found for this pull request.
Out of Scope Changes check	✅ Passed	Check skipped because no linked issues were found for this pull request.
Stable And Deterministic Test Names	✅ Passed	PR contains no Ginkgo test definitions - only modified CI configuration and utility test files unrelated to Ginkgo e2e tests.
Test Structure And Quality	✅ Passed	The PR only modifies CI configuration files and related infrastructure (YAML, tools, docs). No Ginkgo test code is modified, making the check inapplicable to this PR.
Microshift Test Compatibility	✅ Passed	PR only modifies CI configuration YAML to add a run_if_changed trigger; no new Ginkgo e2e tests are added or modified, so no MicroShift compatibility check is applicable.
Single Node Openshift (Sno) Test Compatibility	✅ Passed	PR modifies only CI config file to add run_if_changed pattern. No new Ginkgo e2e tests added; repository contains CI metadata, not test source code.
Topology-Aware Scheduling Compatibility	✅ Passed	PR modifies only CI operator configuration, adding a run_if_changed trigger to a test job. No deployment manifests, operator code, controllers, or scheduling constraints are modified.
Ote Binary Stdout Contract	✅ Passed	PR modifies only CI config (YAML), not test/binary source code. OTE Binary Stdout Contract check applies to process-level code violations, which are absent here.
Ipv6 And Disconnected Network Test Compatibility	✅ Passed	No new Ginkgo e2e tests were added. PR only modifies CI job configuration (YAML) to add a run_if_changed trigger; the check does not apply.
No-Weak-Crypto	✅ Passed	PR contains only CI configuration changes to a YAML file with no cryptographic code, weak crypto algorithms, custom implementations, or token comparisons.
Container-Privileges	✅ Passed	PR modifies only CI operator configuration file. No container privilege settings (privileged, hostPID, hostNetwork, hostIPC, SYS_ADMIN, allowPrivilegeEscalation) found in the changed file.
No-Sensitive-Data-In-Logs	✅ Passed	PR adds only a CI trigger pattern (run_if_changed) with regex file paths—no logging statements or sensitive data exposure to passwords, tokens, API keys, PII, or other protected information.
Title check	✅ Passed	The PR title clearly describes the main change: updating gatewayapi conformance tests to run conditionally with gatewayAPI changes. This aligns with the run_if_changed trigger pattern added to the CI configuration.

Interacting with pj-rehearse

Comment: /pj-rehearse to run up to 5 rehearsals
Comment: /pj-rehearse skip to opt-out of rehearsals
Comment: /pj-rehearse {test-name}, with each test separated by a space, to run one or more specific rehearsals
Comment: /pj-rehearse more to run up to 10 rehearsals
Comment: /pj-rehearse max to run up to 25 rehearsals
Comment: /pj-rehearse auto-ack to run up to 5 rehearsals, and add the rehearsals-ack label on success
Comment: /pj-rehearse list to get an up-to-date list of affected jobs
Comment: /pj-rehearse abort to abort all active rehearsals
Comment: /pj-rehearse network-access-allowed to allow rehearsals of tests that have the restrict_network_access field set to false. This must be executed by an openshift org member who is not the PR author

Once you are satisfied with the results of the rehearsals, comment: /pj-rehearse ack to unblock merge. When the rehearsals-ack label is present on your PR, merge will no longer be blocked by rehearsals.
If you would like the rehearsals-ack label removed, comment: /pj-rehearse reject to re-block merging.
