Add pathChanged() conditions to all FBC pipelines to ensure builds only run when relevant files change, preventing unnecessary pipeline runs which don't serve any purpose.

Each catalog version now triggers on change to any of:

  • catalog/v4-XX/*** (version-specific catalog files)
  • Containerfile.external-dns-operator-catalog-v4-XX
  • LICENSE
  • .tekton/images-mirror-set.yaml
  • Dockerfile.catalog
  • drift-cache/Dockerfile.catalog
  • The pipeline file itself

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.

This repository is configured in: LGTM mode

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The pull-request and push PipelineRun triggers for catalog versions v4.12 through v4.22 now require a change to a version-specific catalog path, its Containerfile, LICENSE, the image mirror-set YAML, or the PipelineRun YAML. The existing event and main branch conditions remain in place.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 433da

These new path filters skip the catalog builds when a change touches only the catalog content or only the shared catalog Dockerfiles. Catalog changes would merge and ship without being built or validated. Fix the path patterns before merging.

I'm not sure I fully understand our build pipeline yet, so apologies if this seems obvious.

Should these pipelines be triggered on code changes? i.e. changes to pkg/ or possibly vendor/?

Should these pipelines be triggered on code changes? i.e. changes to pkg/ or possibly vendor/?

apologies, I missed the notification about the comment, but that's a valid question.

The changes to the mentioned directories (pkg or vendor or any operator code change) don't affect the catalog builds, as the catalogs build from on-pr pipelines would still reference already released bundles (and in consequence the bundle's relatedImages: EDO and external-dns) that are already present on main branch.
So unless the PR contains changes to the olm catalogs themselves (or the files used to build those catalogs), the fbc pipelines just re-build the same olm catalog images that already exist on main

Ideally we would have a pipeline like fbc-next with its corresponding Containerfile, that would have the bundle contents changed dynamically, by injecting the operator image built within the same PR and test the whole olm stack this way, and thus validating the operator code change as a pre-submit run of the fbc pipelines.

I'm not sure at the moment how to chain those pipelines i.e. wait until the operator pipeline in the PR finishes and then grab the output operator image and run a bundle build pipeline with this on-pr operator image and then finally run a FBC pipeline to complete the whole cycle.

This would be beneficial as we could catch some conforma violations for example, which would be only checked during the bundle or FBC pipeline run.

This PR however just reduces the noise from unnecessary FBC pipelines which give no signal unless there is an actual change to the catalog.
