[WINC-1971] [ote] Fix proxy test timing issues

[rrasouli]

Fix 3 failing proxy tests by addressing WMCO restart detection and certificate propagation timeouts:

OCP-90290: Remove trusted CA - WMCO restart timeout
OCP-90289: Remove proxy vars - WMCO restart timeout
OCP-68320: Certificate propagation timeout

Changes:

• checkWMCORestarted(): Return (false, nil) on timeout instead of error Some proxy changes don't trigger WMCO restart, which is valid behavior
• checkUserCertificatesOnNodes(): Increase timeout from 5min to 10min Certificate propagation on proxy clusters can be slower

Related: WINC-1971

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Improved restart monitoring so reaching the six-minute polling limit is handled without a test error.
  • Extended the wait time for user certificate checks to up to 10 minutes.
  • Updated timeout messaging to reflect the revised certificate-check duration.

Pipeline controller notification
This repo is configured to use the pipeline controller. Second-stage tests will be triggered either automatically or after lgtm label is added, depending on the repository configuration. The pipeline controller will automatically detect which contexts are required and will utilize /test Prow commands to trigger the second stage.

For optional jobs, comment /test ? to see a list of all defined jobs. To trigger manually all jobs from second stage use /pipeline required command.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The end-to-end utilities now treat a six-minute WMCO restart timeout as a non-fatal result and log that no restart occurred. Certificate propagation polling now waits up to ten minutes. The related timeout assertion message reports the ten-minute deadline.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 1c861

The proxy E2E test can report a normal no-restart outcome when WMCO timestamp queries fail, potentially skipping restart-dependent validation during API or permission failures. Preserve non-timeout errors before merge.

Full details: Go Best Practices & Build Tags

Explanation

PASS. The pull request changes only ote/test/e2e/utils.go. checkWMCORestarted handles the wait.Poll timeout explicitly, logs the expected condition, and returns (false, nil); it does not introduce an ignored _ error, a panic, or an unsafe dereference. The certificate change only extends the poll timeout and updates its message. The changed file is platform-agnostic e2e test code and adds no platform-specific implementation. Existing daemon code already has //go:build windows tags, and no build-tag change is introduced.

Full details: Security: Secrets, Ssh & Csr

Explanation

PASS. The commit changes only ote/test/e2e/utils.go: WMCO restart polling now treats its six-minute timeout as non-fatal, and certificate propagation polling increases from five to ten minutes. No changed line handles secrets, private keys, PGP annotations, SSH/SFTP connections, or CSR approval. The certificate path still uses the existing runHostProcessPS cleanup, which defers HostProcess pod deletion. No explicit security-check failure condition is introduced.

Full details: Kubernetes Controller Patterns

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes only ote/test/e2e/utils.go, an end-to-end test utility. The diff updates polling timeout behavior in checkWMCORestarted and checkUserCertificatesOnNodes; it does not modify a Kubernetes controller or reconciliation path. Therefore, no changed code introduces an issue with requeue behavior, idempotent reconciliation, status conditions, watch predicates, finalizers, or owner references.

Full details: Windows Service Management

Explanation

PASS. The pull request changes only proxy restart polling and certificate propagation timing in ote/test/e2e/utils.go. It does not change service priority ordering, dependencies, descriptions, cleanup, reboot handling, or Service Control Manager interactions. Service-related files and helpers are outside the changed hunks.

Full details: Platform-Specific Requirements

Explanation

PASS. The pull request changes only proxy-test polling in ote/test/e2e/utils.go: WMCO timeout handling and certificate wait duration. The diff does not alter vSphere naming, AWS EC2LaunchV2 checks, Azure cloud-node-manager, GCP hostname handling, or platform documentation. Existing platform-specific code remains unchanged.

Full details: Stable And Deterministic Test Names

Explanation

PASS — The pull request changes only ote/test/e2e/utils.go. The diff updates polling behavior, timeout duration, and timeout text. It adds or changes no Ginkgo It, Describe, Context, or When title. Therefore, it introduces no unstable or overly specific test name.

Full details: Test Structure And Quality

Explanation

PASS. The committed diff changes only ote/test/e2e/utils.go. Both affected cluster operations remain bounded: WMCO polling uses a six-minute timeout, and certificate polling uses a ten-minute timeout. The certificate timeout assertion includes the node, expected count, and ten-minute limit. The WMCO timeout is an intentional non-fatal path described in the PR, and its callers retain diagnostic assertion messages. The change does not add resource creation, alter Ginkgo setup or cleanup, add indefinite waits, or combine test responsibilities.

Full details: Microshift Test Compatibility

Explanation

The pull request adds no Ginkgo test declarations or test files. The diff only changes timeout handling in ote/test/e2e/utils.go: checkWMCORestarted() and checkUserCertificatesOnNodes(). The MicroShift compatibility check is therefore not applicable.

Full details: Single Node Openshift (Sno) Test Compatibility

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes only ote/test/e2e/utils.go. The diff modifies timeout handling in existing helper functions and adds no It(), Describe(), Context(), or When() declarations. The SNO compatibility check is therefore not applicable.

Full details: Topology-Aware Scheduling Compatibility

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes only ote/test/e2e/utils.go. The diff changes WMCO restart timeout handling and certificate polling from 5 to 10 minutes. It does not add or modify deployment manifests, operator code, controllers, replicas, affinity, topology spread constraints, node selectors, tolerations, or PDBs. The topology-aware scheduling check is therefore not applicable.

propagate errors from getWMCOTimestamp instead of converting them to a
successful nil error; treat only the wait.Interrupted timeout as the expected
no-restart result, and return all other errors so callers retain API or
