This PR:

  1. Adds a new script, ./tools/gen-manifests that clones osbuild/images (at the version specified in go.mod) and runs ./cmd/gen-manifests from there.
  2. Updates the test README to describe the new script.
  3. Removes ./cmd/gen-manifests and the configs in ./tools/test-case-generators.
  4. Updates the existing manifests to the corresponding ones generated in osbuild/images. Some configs are different, but the image type and customizations coverage should be the same.

Thank you, one small inline comment (that has a hard time getting rendered so I will repeat here). Maybe just

go run -tags=exclude_graphdriver_btrfs  github.com/osbuild/images/cmd/gen-manifests@latest

in tools/gen-manifests ? This would avoid the explicit tmpdir handling (or is there another reason for the clone)?

Image Tests are failing and they aren't failing on the latest nightly pipeline so it looks like the failure is related to this PR.

Did a rebase to drop those CS8 unit tests and I'll have a closer look in a bit.

This new format for the Environment option was introduced in osbuild v115 (osbuild/osbuild#1684), and RHEL 9.4 has osbuild v110 so the nightly tests wont work with newer manifests.

Perhaps we need to be smarter about this and generate manifests for the nightly pipelines with the version of the gen-manifests tool that matches the version of osbuild-composer that we're testing, otherwise we'll be running into this issue all the time.

It's a bit strange that we're running test data from main (or branch HEADs) against test code from older versions, isn't it? That doesn't seem like a stable test setup and I'm not sure if what it's verifying (that new test data works with osbuild-composer from RHEL 9.4) is useful.

@achilleas-k Question:

rename from test/data/manifests/rhel_9.4-aarch64-azure_rhui-boot.json
rename to test/data/manifests/rhel_9.4-aarch64-azure_rhui-empty.json

So files are renamed from their -boot suffix to -empty. What does that mean and why is it different, why is it necessary ? Also does it mean that osbuild-image-tests will not attempt to boot images created from these manifests ?

Perhaps we need to be smarter about this and generate manifests for the nightly pipelines with the version of the gen-manifests tool that matches the version of osbuild-composer that we're testing, otherwise we'll be running into this issue all the time.

So basically vendor-in the version of gen-manifests, which is what we're doing RN. It is hard to know which particular version to use b/c downstream is a moving target and changes over the course of a release.

I think so far the way we've dealth with that fact is because manifests are updated very rarely, usually once per minor release. Or maybe because versions have been fairly compatible till recently.

For the purposes of getting this PR out of the door you can use a gen-manifests version that matches 9.4 (or 9.5) but we'll probably have to merge with failing CI jobs until the rest of the 9.5 work is ready. (or alternatively regenerate the manifesta once more for 9.5). Up to you IMO.

It's a bit strange that we're running test data from main (or branch HEADs) against test code from older versions, isn't it? That doesn't seem like a stable test setup and I'm not sure if what it's verifying (that new test data works with osbuild-composer from RHEL 9.4) is useful.

Maybe "a bit" but the setup has been rather stable over time. This question comes up every time when a similar situation occurs so to give you an answer why it is like that:

  1. The entire test suite uses version conditions to skip different steps which aren't relevant to older versions. Whenever the downstream version catches up what was being skipped before will automatically become exercised in nightly CI tests. Whenever such "catch-up" occurs downstream into RHEL we expect no surprises and as-long as the conditionals are done properly there would be none!

  2. To avoid the situation where upstream changes such as this one introduce a downstream incompatibility we execute the 9.4 nightly pipeline on pull requests too which caught the current issue.

  3. Doing it this way allows us to patch & improve the test suite whenever necessary without waiting for approvals on downstream tickets and without having to work with downstream branches. Makes the overall experience from the QE POV easier with less friction.

  4. Allows us to have 99% identical test suite b/w upstream and downstream (with the exception of version conditions) for most of the time. Image tests is an outlier here b/c it's been disabled from the upstream pipeline due to the existing duplications and also b/c it is more relevant as a downstream test job.

@achilleas-k Question:

rename from test/data/manifests/rhel_9.4-aarch64-azure_rhui-boot.json rename to test/data/manifests/rhel_9.4-aarch64-azure_rhui-empty.json

So files are renamed from their -boot suffix to -empty. What does that mean and why is it different, why is it necessary?

The manifest generation in osbuild/images adds the config name to the filename and drops the -boot suffix. Before, we had config names that were usually the image type name with some extra words to differentiate if there were two for an image type, like fedora_39-x86_64-qcow2-boot.json and fedora_39-x86_64-qcow2_customize-boot.json. The new gen-manifests instead adds a configuration name to each filename so it's always {distro}-{arch}-{image_type}-{config_name}.json. empty is just an empty blueprint so it's just the base image without customizations.

Also does it mean that osbuild-image-tests will not attempt to boot images created from these manifests ?

The boot suffix has, for a long time, been added to every manifest filename. I think the purpose of the suffix got lost a long time ago. Seems like as far back as Sep. 2021 (008dfcc), the only value for test_type has been boot (that commit removes the call to generate_test_case() that specifiescustomize instead of boot), so it's basically meaningless now.

I see a few options here:

  1. Generate manifests specifically for the nightly pipeline. Checkout osbuild/images for the version that's compatible with osbuild-composer in RHEL 9.4 and put manifests in test/data/manifests/nightly (or replace the existing ones?).
  2. Generate manifests in the pipeline. In other words, we can generate the manifests dynamically every time the pipeline is run and (like with option 1) use a version of osbuild/images that matches the version of osbuild-composer that we're testing.
  3. Checkout the manifests from the osbuild-composer repo at the version that matches the osbuild-composer version in the nightly pipeline (for nightly only, so we still have the main tests with new pipelines).

1 has the benefit that we can clearly differentiate manifests for the main and the nightly pipelines, but it adds a tonne of large files to the repo.
2 is a nice cleanup I think. It adds a bit of work to the pipeline (generating the manifests can take a few mins) but it removes the chore of updating manifests from PR authors.
3 saves us from adding all the extra bits in 1.

To be honest, testing on 9.4 nightly has IMHO zero value. 9.4 is already GA and new upstream releases are not landing in 9.4 any more. There is very little value in making main tests and manifests to run on 9.4.

Yeah, I was also thinking this but assumed someone thought there was some value and I was missing something.

That should be 9.5 nightly after a rebase so it should be easier IMO.

A new script to replace ./cmd/gen-manifests.  The script queries the go
dependencies to get the version of osbuild/images that osbuild-composer
currently depends on, clones the osbuild/images repository at that
version, and uses the ./cmd/gen-manifests tool from there to generate
new manifests.

This is meant to replace ./cmd/gen-manifests so that we only have one
command and set of configurations for generating manifests, to avoid
drift between the two implementations.
The manifests generated by osbuild/images use the property name
'build-request' instead of 'compose-request'.
Support arguments for filtering and pass them straight through to
gen-manifests (multiple values and globs are supported).

`set -x` before running the gen-manifests tool to print the full
command.
This is required for building the binary on RHEL.  It has no effect on
manifest generation, so we can use it unconditionally.
Update the test README with information about the new script.
Remove the format-request-map and repos that were used for the old
manifest generation.  The new manifest generator uses the configs and
repos defined in osbuild/images.
Remove the gen-manifests go cmd since we now only rely on the one in
osbuild/images.
Updated only manifests for image types that were already in the
repository.

This commit also adds Fedora 40 manifests.

Rebased and resolved conflicts. I want to keep this open but I'm switching it to draft. We should get back to it when we have more time (after ITM 26) to sort out the connection with manifest-db as well.
