Rhdh Ocp Tests

RHDH OCP Test Management

Manage OCP-specific test entries in RHDH ci-operator configuration files. This skill covers tests that use OCP cluster claims (cluster_claim.version), not K8s platform tests (AKS, EKS, GKE, OSD-GCP) which use different provisioning workflows.

When to Use

Use this skill when you need to:

• List which OCP versions have helm-nightly test entries per RHDH release branch
• Add a new OCP version test entry to a config file
• Remove an end-of-life OCP version test entry from a config file
• Generate a test entry YAML block for review before adding it

Prerequisites

• yq (v4+) must be available for YAML parsing
• Working directory must be the root of the openshift/release repository
• CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR is set automatically by the Claude Code skill loader. For manual invocation, set it to this skill's directory (e.g., CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR=ci-operator/config/redhat-developer/rhdh/.claude/skills/rhdh-ocp-tests)

Important: Branch Terminology

"Branch" refers to the RHDH product branch encoded in the config filename (e.g., main, release-1.8, release-1.9), NOT a git branch in the openshift/release repo. All CI config files live on the main git branch of openshift/release.

Listing OCP Test Configs

Run the bundled script from the repository root:

bash "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/list-ocp-test-configs.sh"

Filter by product branch

bash "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/list-ocp-test-configs.sh" --branch main

Output format

The script extracts OCP versions from cluster_claim.version in each test entry (the source of truth), not from test names. This catches all OCP-targeted tests, including ones that don't encode the version in their name (e.g., e2e-ocp-helm-nightly targets 4.18).

=== Branch: main ===

e2e-ocp-v4-21-helm-nightly                     4.21          0 2 * * TUE,THU,SAT,SUN        true
e2e-ocp-operator-nightly                       4.18          0 5 * * TUE,THU,SAT,SUN        true

  OCP versions tested: 4.18 4.19 4.20 4.21

Generating a Test Entry

Use the bundled script to generate a new test entry YAML block:

bash "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/generate-test-entry.sh" --version 4.22 --branch main

With a specific reference version

bash "${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/generate-test-entry.sh" --version 4.22 --branch main --reference 4.21

The script outputs a ready-to-insert YAML block based on an existing versioned test entry with all version-specific values substituted.

Adding a Test Entry

After generating and reviewing the test entry:

1. Open the target config file (e.g., ci-operator/config/redhat-developer/rhdh/redhat-developer-rhdh-main.yaml)
2. Insert the new test entry in the tests: list, before zz_generated_metadata:
3. Place it adjacent to other e2e-ocp-v*-helm-nightly entries for readability
4. Run make update to regenerate Prow job configs
5. Verify the generated jobs in ci-operator/jobs/redhat-developer/rhdh/

Test entry fields to update

When creating a test entry for OCP version X.Y:

All other fields (cron schedule, owner, cloud, architecture, steps, workflow) remain the same as the reference entry.

Removing a Test Entry

To remove an OCP version test entry:

1. Open the target config file
2. Remove the entire test block where as: e2e-ocp-vX-Y-helm-nightly
3. Run make update to regenerate Prow job configs
4. Verify the removed jobs are no longer in ci-operator/jobs/redhat-developer/rhdh/

IMPORTANT: When removing an OCP version, check all product branch configs (main, release-1.9, release-1.8, etc.) for entries that need removal.

After Any Change

Always run make update after modifying CI config files:

make update

This regenerates:

• Prow job configs in ci-operator/jobs/
• zz_generated_metadata sections
• Other downstream artifacts
