Fix e2e test namespace cleanup sequencing bug - #411
Conversation
Move DeferCleanup registration before namespace Create so cleanup is always registered even if creation fails. Delete stale namespaces from prior failed runs before creating, and use Eventually for the Create call to handle namespaces still terminating. This fixes a permanent test failure where a stale test-subjectpermissions namespace from a prior run causes Create to fail before DeferCleanup is registered, leaving the namespace orphaned indefinitely. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
WalkthroughThe end-to-end RBAC test now cleans up stale namespaces, retries creation during namespace termination, and retrieves subject-permission data after successful creation. ChangesNamespace setup reliability
Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The change improves recovery of stale test namespaces, but deletion failures other than an already-missing namespace could still be hidden and leave cleanup unreliable.

💡 Result:
The github.com/openshift/osde2e-common module is a collection of helper utilities designed to reduce code duplication in Managed OpenShift testing, including clients for interacting with OCM, OpenShift, and Prometheus [1][2][3]. Regarding the pkg/clients/openshift package within osde2e-common, it provides an OpenShift client interface typically initialized via openshift.NewFromRestConfig [4]. In practice, osde2e test suites perform CRUD operations—including deletions—by accessing the standard Kubernetes/OpenShift client-go interfaces returned by the osde2e-common helper, rather than by calling a generic Delete method directly on the osde2e-common client object [5]. For example, when test suites need to delete resources such as Users or Identities, they utilize the standard client-go Delete pattern provided by the helper's underlying typed clients [5]: // Example pattern used in osde2e tests to delete a User func deleteUser(userName string, h *helper.H) error { return h.User.UserV1.Users.Delete(context.TODO, userName, metav1.DeleteOptions{}) } If you are developing new functionality that requires specific deletion logic, the project guidelines mandate implementing core client enhancements within the osde2e-common repository to ensure they are available to all consumer repositories, rather than implementing them directly within the osde2e test repository [6].

Handle namespace deletion errors explicitly.
Treat only NotFound as success for both namespace deletes. Fail the test on all other errors. This prevents hidden API failures and avoids cleanup failures when namespace creation did not succeed.

Summary
Fixes the
reconciles subjectpermissionse2e test which fails permanently withnamespaces "test-subjectpermissions" already existsafter any interrupted test run.Problem
The test creates namespace
test-subjectpermissionsand registersDeferCleanupto delete it — but cleanup is registered after theCreatecall. IfCreatefails (e.g., namespace left over from a prior run), the test fails beforeDeferCleanupis registered, so the stale namespace is never cleaned up and every subsequent run fails permanently.Fix
Three changes in
test/e2e/rbac_permissions_operator_tests.go:DeferCleanupbeforeCreate— cleanup is always registered regardless of whether creation succeedsclient.DeletebeforeCreateremoves leftovers from prior runs (errors ignored if namespace doesn't exist)CreateinEventually— retries with 60s timeout / 2s polling to handle the case where the stale namespace is still terminatingNo new imports — uses existing
time,Eventually, andSucceedalready in scope.Testing
