Run the slowest e2e suites' specs in parallel to cut e2e wall-clock time. All other e2e suites stay Serial; the CI script drives the run with the ginkgo CLI (the only way Ginkgo v2 runs specs in parallel).

input_selection

Each spec now derives a token unique across parallel processes (GinkgoParallelProcess + atomic counter) and threads it through its namespaces, namespace globs and pod-label selectors so concurrently running specs no longer collide on:

  • the previously fixed clo-test-frontend namespace (recreated per spec)
  • the shared clo-test* namespace glob
  • pod labels used by application input selectors

Inputs and verifiers are now builder funcs of the per-spec namespaces rather than shared constants.

lokistack

The suite was Serial and redeployed minio, the loki operator and a LokiStack in every spec (tearing them down again afterward) — almost entirely serial setup/teardown.

  • minio, the loki operator and the log-reader cluster role are now deployed once per suite in SynchronizedBeforeSuite (cleaned up once in SynchronizedAfterSuite); each spec stands up only its own LokiStack, and the Serial decorator is dropped.
  • Per-spec namespaces and the minio bucket are derived from the same per-process token scheme.
  • Each LokiStack gets its own minio bucket (CreateMinioBucket); multiple Loki clusters sharing one bucket corrupt each other's index and chunks.
  • The reader cluster role (fixed, cluster-scoped name) is created once for the suite so one spec's cleanup can't delete it while another is using it.

Note: up to --procs 1x.demo LokiStacks now run concurrently; if the claimed cluster shows resource pressure, lower ginkgo --procs.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Tests
    • End-to-end tests can now run in parallel while tests that require sequential execution remain serialized.
    • Input-selection and log-forwarding tests use isolated resources to reduce interference between parallel runs.
    • Loki test setup is shared across tests, with separate storage buckets for each test.
    • Query checks now retry transient errors until the timeout, improving test results when services are temporarily unavailable.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The CI E2E script now invokes Ginkgo v2 with up to four processes. Selected suites are marked Serial. Input-selection and LokiStack tests use per-spec resources. LokiStack setup shares infrastructure, and QueryUntil retries query errors while polling.

Changes

Parallel E2E execution

Layer / File(s) Summary
Ginkgo runner and suite scheduling
hack/test-e2e-from-ci-bundle.sh, test/e2e/collection/*, test/e2e/flowcontrol/*, test/e2e/logfilesmetricexporter/*, test/e2e/logforwarding/http/*, test/e2e/logforwarding/syslog/*, test/e2e/operator/{metrics,tls}/*
The CI script uses the Ginkgo v2 CLI with a four-process limit and retains the existing test options. Selected suites add the Serial decorator.
Per-spec input-selection resources
test/e2e/input_selection/input_selection_test.go
Input-selection specs use process-and-counter tokens, unique namespaces, and token-labeled log generators. Input builders and verifiers use each spec’s namespace data.
Shared LokiStack setup and per-spec buckets
test/e2e/logforwarding/lokistack/forward_to_lokistack_test.go, test/framework/e2e/lokistack.go
The suite deploys MinIO, the Loki operator, and the reader cluster role in shared setup. Each spec uses unique namespaces and a MinIO bucket supplied to LokiStack deployment.
Query error polling
test/framework/e2e/lokistack.go
QueryUntil continues polling after query errors and returns the last query error when polling ends with an error.

🟡 Minor · Use a per-spec namespace for the forwarder. · input_selection_test.go:75

test/e2e/input_selection/input_selection_test.go:75
🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Use a per-spec namespace for the forwarder.

CreateTestNamespace() selects from only 10,000 names. Two parallel specs can select the same namespace. CreateNamespace then calls Recreate, which deletes the existing namespace before creating it again. That deletion can remove the other spec's receiver and forwarder resources and cause setup or WaitForDaemonSet to fail.

Suggested fix
-		forwarder := obsruntime.NewClusterLogForwarder(e2e.CreateTestNamespace(), "my-log-collector", runtime.Initialize)
+		forwarder := obsruntime.NewClusterLogForwarder(e2e.CreateNamespace(token+"-forwarder"), "my-log-collector", runtime.Initialize)

Run the input_selection e2e specs in parallel while keeping every other
e2e suite serial, cutting the dominant contributor to e2e wall-clock time.

Each input_selection spec now derives a token unique across parallel
processes (GinkgoParallelProcess + atomic counter) and threads it through
its namespaces, namespace globs and pod-label selectors so concurrently
running specs no longer collide on:
- the previously fixed "clo-test-frontend" namespace (recreated per spec)
- the shared "clo-test*" namespace glob
- pod labels used by application input selectors

Inputs and verifiers are now builder funcs of the per-spec namespaces
rather than shared constants. All other e2e suites are marked Serial so
only input_selection spreads across worker processes, and the CI script
drives the suite with the ginkgo CLI (the only way Ginkgo v2 runs specs
in parallel).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The lokistack suite was marked Serial and redeployed minio, the loki
operator and a LokiStack in every spec's BeforeEach (tearing them down
again in AfterEach). With 10 specs that was ~34 min of the e2e run, almost
entirely serial setup/teardown.

Deploy the shared, cluster-global resources (minio, the loki operator and
the log-reader cluster role) once per suite in SynchronizedBeforeSuite, and
let each spec stand up only its own LokiStack. The suite can then drop the
Serial decorator and run its specs across the ginkgo worker processes.

To keep specs isolated under `ginkgo -p`:
- namespaces and the minio bucket are derived from a per-spec token built
  from GinkgoParallelProcess() plus an atomic counter (math/rand-based
  namespace names are not safe across processes);
- each LokiStack gets its own minio bucket, created via CreateMinioBucket;
  multiple Loki clusters sharing one bucket corrupt each other's index and
  chunks;
- the reader cluster role (fixed, cluster-scoped name) is created once for
  the suite rather than per-spec, so a spec's cleanup can't delete it while
  another spec is still using it.

Note: up to --procs LokiStacks (1x.demo) now run concurrently; if the
claimed cluster shows resource pressure, lower ginkgo --procs.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>
QueryUntil aborted on the first query error instead of retrying. When
several LokiStacks warm up concurrently (ginkgo -p), a gateway can report
its Deployment Available while observatorium-api is not yet serving
authenticated queries, so early attempts return 401 or an HTML 5xx page.
That aborted specs immediately under parallel runs.

Treat query errors as transient and keep polling until the timeout,
returning the last query error (not a bare context deadline) if it is
reached so failures stay diagnosable.
