config-forker

config-forker

config-forker forks presubmit, periodic, and postsubmit job configs with the fork-per-release annotation.

Usage

• --job-config: Path to the job config
• --output: Path to the output yaml to create. If not specified, the process still runs but no file is generated (potentially useful for presubmits)
• --version: the version to generate a forked config for, e.g. 1.15

Supported annotations

• fork-per-release: only jobs with this set to "true" will be forked.
• fork-per-release-replacements: allows replacing values in job tags (periodics only) and container args (see Custom replacements).
• fork-per-release-deletions: allows deleting values in job labels in periodics (see Custom deletions).
• fork-per-release-periodic-interval: if set, forked jobs will use this value for interval. If multiple space-separated values are provided, the first will be used.
• fork-per-release-cron: if set, forked jobs will use this value for cron. If multiple values separated with , are provided, the first will be used.

Actions taken

For the sake of clarity, all the below will assume we are forking with --version 1.15.

Only jobs annotated with fork-per-release will be forked.

For all jobs:

• If spec includes a container with an image ending in -master, it is replaced with -1.15.
• If spec includes a container with an env variable with BRANCH (case-insensitive) in the name and the value master, the value will be changed to release-1.15.
• If the fork-per-release-replacements annotation is specified, those replacements will be performed in the args of all containers for that job.
• If the testgrid-dashboards annotation is specified, references to master-blocking and master-informing are changed to 1.15-blocking and 1.15-informing.
• If the testgrid-tab-name annotation is specified, references to master are changed to 1.15.
• If the description annotation is specified, it is removed (for now).

For presubmits and postsubmits:

• skip_branches will be deleted
• branches will be set to release-1.15

For periodics and postsubmits:

• If the job name ends in -master, it will be replaced with -1-15, otherwise -1-15 will be appended
• sig-release-1.15-all is added to the job's testgrid-dashboards annotation (creating the annotation if necessary)

For periodics only:

• If decorate is true, and extra_refs contains a reference to kubernetes/kubernetes master, the BaseRef will be updated to release-1.15
• If decorate is not true, some bootstrap-related args will be replaced:
  • --repo=k8s.io/kubernetes or --repo=k8s.io/kubernetes=master will be replaced with --repo=k8s.io/kubernetes=release-1.15
  • --branch=master will be replaced with --branch=release-1.15
• If the fork-per-release-periodic-interval annotation is set, the interval will be set to the first value it contains.

Custom replacements

The fork-per-release-replacements annotation can be used for custom replacements in your args or tags (periodic jobs only). It takes the form of a comma-separated list of replacements, like this:

fork-per-release-replacements: "original1 -> replacement1, original2 -> replacement2"

The replacements are interpreted as Go templates, with one value defined: {{.Version}}. {{.Version}} will be replaced by the version currently being forked (e.g. 1.15). For example:

fork-per-release-replacements: "--version=stable -> --version={{.Version}"

Custom deletions

The fork-per-release-deletions annotation can be used for custom deletions in your labels (periodic jobs only). This is a comma-separated list of keys of labels you would like to remove on forking, for instance:

fork-per-release-deletions: "label-key-to-delete1, label-key-to-delete2"

This is useful for getting rid of a specific preset in the forked job. For instance, one can have a master branch job that has a label corresponding to a master-specific preset which is undesired for forked release jobs.
