The usetesting linter changed its defaults between 1.64.8 used in 4.21 and the latest golangci-lint images (used in 4.22 and beyond). Enable the context-background and context-todo settings to avoid problems with backports.

Fix issues flagged by the linter. I broke this up into 2 commits, one for pkg/apply and one for the rest to make the cherry-pick process easier when backporting. (we must definitely port pkg/apply all the way, not sure about the other ones and conflicts when backporting).


Details:

When running with the linter v1.64.8, against 4.21, I get:

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • Added linting checks to flag use of generic background and placeholder contexts.
    • Updated automated tests to use test-scoped context handling for more consistent and reliable test execution.
    • Standardized context usage across application, networking, observability, and proxy configuration test suites.
    • Applied minor test maintenance updates, including simplified file permission notation.

Walkthrough

The linter now checks for context.Background and context.TODO. Apply, proxy configuration, bootstrap, and observability controller tests use t.Context(). Observability tests also use Go’s octal literal syntax for temporary manifest permissions.

Changes

Test context modernization

Layer / File(s) Summary
Lint rules and apply test contexts
.golangci.yaml, pkg/apply/apply_test.go
The linter checks background and TODO contexts. Apply tests pass t.Context() and remove the unused import.
Controller and bootstrap test contexts
pkg/controller/proxyconfig/controller_test.go, pkg/network/bootstrap_test.go
Proxy configuration and bootstrap tests use t.Context() for client operations, reconciliation, resource creation, and retrieval.
Observability test contexts
pkg/controller/observability/observability_controller_test.go
Observability tests use t.Context() for reconciliation, client operations, manifest application, timeouts, and concurrent execution. Temporary manifest permissions use 0o644.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 70768

This change updates lint enforcement and test code without changing production behavior; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title accurately describes the linter configuration and test updates, but it is 81 characters and exceeds the 72-character limit. It also starts with the Jira key instead of the affected component.

Full details: Pr Quality

Explanation

The description explains why the linter configuration must change, what changes were made, the root cause, and how the linter behavior was checked. The change is non-functional: it updates linter settings and test-only context usage, so the automated CI-lane description requirement is exempt. The complete diff is limited to five files and 145 changed lines, well below the 7,000-line limit, with no production-code changes. The supplied PR objectives identify issue OCPBUGS-113591.

Full details: Commit Message Quality

Explanation

Two commits violate the message requirements. 14572e7367b0 has subject Fix lint issues for usetesting in pkg/apply, and 707685b41b54 has subject Fix lint issues for usetesting in proxyconfig, observability, bootstrap; both place the component after in instead of using the required component prefix. Their bodies only describe replacements and import removal. They do not explain why the linter settings or t.Context() changes are needed. The third commit also bundles an unrelated 0644 to 0o644 syntax change with the context replacements. The first commit has a scoped subject and a rationale body. The PR contains no merge commit.

Resolution

Amend the second and third commits. Use component-prefixed, descriptive subjects, such as pkg/apply: use t.Context in usetesting tests and observability/proxyconfig/bootstrap: use t.Context in usetesting tests. Add bodies that explain the changed usetesting defaults and the need to keep lint results consistent across supported golangci-lint versions and backports. Remove the unrelated 0644 to 0o644 change or place it in its own logically scoped commit with an appropriate rationale.

Full details: E2e Tests For Feature Changes

Explanation

The pull request changes only .golangci.yaml and four *_test.go files under pkg/. No non-test Go file under pkg/ or cmd/ changed, and no test/e2e/ path changed. The Go changes replace test contexts and adjust a test file permission literal. They do not add or change user-facing behavior or fix a product bug, so the E2E requirement does not apply.

Full details: Docs For Feature And Behavior Changes

Explanation

PASS — The pull request changes only .golangci.yaml and four _test.go files. The code changes replace test contexts with t.Context() and update a test file permission literal. The YAML change only enables usetesting lint settings. No production CNO behavior, feature, architecture, or control flow changes are present, and the custom check explicitly passes test-only and CI/infra changes without docs updates.

Full details: Stale Project Docs And Config

Explanation

PASS. The PR changes only .golangci.yaml and four Go test files. No files under docs/, .coderabbit.yaml, **/AGENTS.md, or **/ARCHITECTURE.md changed. The existing .coderabbit.yaml path reference to pkg/apply/** remains valid, and the new usetesting settings do not affect documented CNO entities, architecture, operands, or DPU/DPF behavior. git diff --check is clean.

Full details: Go And Test Code Quality

Explanation

PASS. The PR changes only .golangci.yaml and four *_test.go files; no production Go code changed. The added Go lines only replace test contexts, change 0644 to 0o644, and remove imports. No added code contains bare t.Fatal(err), context-free t.Fatalf, time.Sleep, or os.Setenv. The modified timeout values use explicit time.Second units. The concurrent test change only passes t.Context() and adds no unprotected shared map or slice access. git diff --check also reports no formatting errors.

Full details: Ai-Generated Code Smell

Explanation

PASS. The PR diff contains only usetesting configuration, import removal, context substitutions to t.Context(), and an octal-literal formatting change. It adds no tests, no new comments, no verbose intermediate logic, and no AI or prompt references. The 58-line observability test change is a proportional mechanical replacement, not an unrelated generated test block.

Full details: Stable And Deterministic Test Names

Explanation

PASS: The PR changes only usetesting configuration, context arguments, and a file-permission literal. The changed Go tests use Test... functions and existing static t.Run titles. No Ginkgo It, Describe, Context, or When test title was added or changed, and no dynamic test title was introduced.

Full details: Test Structure And Quality

Explanation

PASS. The pull request changes only usetesting configuration, context arguments, and one octal permission literal in standard testing.T tests. The affected files contain no Ginkgo Describe/It blocks, BeforeEach/AfterEach, Eventually, or Consistently calls. They use fake clients and t.TempDir(), so no cluster-scoped resource cleanup or wait-timeout requirement is introduced. Existing assertions and test behavior remain unchanged; the concurrent test still waits by receiving all five results, and the explicit timeout tests retain bounded contexts.

Full details: Microshift Test Compatibility

Explanation

The check is not applicable. The diff against origin/master modifies only .golangci.yaml and existing unit-test files. The changed tests use Go testing functions such as Test..., not new Ginkgo It, Describe, Context, or When tests. The code changes only replace context values and update a file-mode literal. No new MicroShift-incompatible e2e test, API, namespace, or unsupported assumption was introduced.

Full details: Single Node Openshift (Sno) Test Compatibility

Explanation

PASS — The PR adds no new Ginkgo e2e tests. The diff changes .golangci.yaml and standard testing.T unit tests only, replacing context values with t.Context() and changing a file-permission literal. No new Describe, Context, When, or It blocks, and no new multi-node or HA test assumptions were introduced.

Full details: Topology-Aware Scheduling Compatibility

Explanation

PASS: The PR changes only .golangci.yaml and four *_test.go files. The code diff enables usetesting settings, replaces test contexts with t.Context(), and changes 0644 to 0o644. It does not add or modify deployment manifests, workload scheduling code, replicas, affinity, topology spread, node selectors, tolerations, or PDBs. Therefore, it introduces no topology scheduling constraint covered by this check.

Full details: Ote Binary Stdout Contract

Explanation

PASS. The PR range contains only .golangci.yaml settings and replacements of test contexts with t.Context(), plus an octal file-mode literal. The exact 73 added lines contain no fmt.Print*, log.Print*, klog, os.Stdout, Ginkgo suite setup, or main entry point. The only init() in a changed file is pre-existing and only installs a scheme before panicking on error. No explicit OTE stdout-contract failure is introduced.

Full details: Ipv6 And Disconnected Network Test Compatibility

Explanation

PASS: The pull request adds no new Ginkgo e2e tests. The PR diff changes only .golangci.yaml and existing standard Test...(*testing.T) unit tests. AST outlines show no It, Describe, Context, or When declarations and no Ginkgo imports. Changed lines only replace test contexts with t.Context() and update an octal file mode; they add no IPv4 assumptions or external connectivity requirements.

Full details: No-Weak-Crypto

Explanation

PASS. The pull-request diff from origin/master changes only .golangci.yaml and test files. Added code uses t.Context(), context.WithTimeout, and an octal file mode. No MD5, SHA1, DES, 3DES, RC4, Blowfish, ECB, custom crypto, or secret/token comparisons were introduced.

Full details: Container-Privileges

Explanation

The PR changes only .golangci.yaml and Go test files. The added lines enable usetesting context checks, replace test contexts with t.Context(), and change a temporary file mode to 0o644. The PR diff adds no container or Kubernetes privilege declarations, including privileged, host namespaces, SYS_ADMIN, or allowPrivilegeEscalation.

Full details: No-Sensitive-Data-In-Logs

Explanation

No sensitive-data logging was introduced. The complete diff from base 069ef08 to HEAD changes only .golangci.yaml linter settings and test contexts/file permissions. Added lines contain no logging calls, credentials, tokens, PII, hostnames, or customer data. Existing t.Fatalf assertions are unchanged test diagnostics, not new logging behavior.

andreaskaris added a commit to andreaskaris/cluster-network-operator that referenced this pull request Aug 24, 2026
Add tests for ApplyObject's pre-patch behavior: strategic-merge-patch
runs before SSA, NotFound is tolerated, other errors stop reconciliation,
and objects without the annotation skip pre-patch entirely.

Remove fakeRESTMapper and replace it with
testrestmapper.TetsOnlyStaticRESTMapper to return a proper mapper,
and return scheme.Scheme from Scheme(). Both changes needed by
ApplyObject under test.

Details

In response to this:

The usetesting linter changed its defaults between 1.64.8 used in 4.21 and the latest golangci-lint images (used in 4.22 and beyond). Enable the context-background and context-todo settings to avoid problems with backports.

Fix issues flagged by the linter. I broke this up into 2 commits, one for pkg/apply and one for the rest to make the cherry-pick process easier when backporting. (we must definitely port pkg/apply all the way, not sure about the other ones and conflicts when backporting).


Details:

However, 4.22 and beyond use :latest. And usetesting context-background / context-todo detection there is off by default: https://golangci-lint.run/docs/linters/configuration/#usetesting

4 issues:
* usetesting: 4

We can see that the defaults in usetesting changed for ContextBackground and ContextTodo from true to false: golangci/golangci-lint@6b65696
In 1.64.8, both were true: https://github.com/golangci/golangci-lint/blob/v1.64.8/pkg/config/linters_settings.go#L187

andreaskaris added a commit to andreaskaris/cluster-network-operator that referenced this pull request Aug 26, 2026
Add tests for ApplyObject's pre-patch behavior: strategic-merge-patch
runs before SSA, NotFound is tolerated, other errors stop reconciliation,
and objects without the annotation skip pre-patch entirely.

Remove fakeRESTMapper and replace it with
testrestmapper.TetsOnlyStaticRESTMapper to return a proper mapper,
and return scheme.Scheme from Scheme(). Both changes needed by
ApplyObject under test.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Signed-off-by: Andreas Karis <ak.karis@gmail.com>
(cherry picked from commit 6ca59b1)
(cherry picked from commit b1775c9)

Not clean cherry-pick:
Make the linter happy by applying the changes to pkg/apply from
openshift#3138. See
that PR for further details.

(cherry picked from commit 216d5c2)

Issues / manual changes:
controller-runtime v0.21.0 does not have
addToSchemeIfUnknownAndUnstructuredOrPartial, so GVK test/test/test
is not added automatically and TestStatusManager_set would fail.
Instead, add a new scheme to the FakeClusterClient and register the
GVK there for backwards compatibility.

772-772: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Use t.Context() in both new OLMv0 tests.

The tests still pass context.TODO() to isNetObservOperatorInstalled at Lines 772 and 793. The enabled usetesting context-todo check will continue to report these calls and can fail the required lint gate. Replace both arguments with t.Context().

Proposed fix
-	installed, ceExists, err := r.isNetObservOperatorInstalled(context.TODO())
+	installed, ceExists, err := r.isNetObservOperatorInstalled(t.Context())

Apply the same change in both tests.

Also applies to: 793-793
