- Line 975: Strengthen the assertion following
lib.IsRestoreCompletedSuccessfully in the restore test by listing the restore’s
DataDownloads and validating exactly one completed DataDownload for each disk,
with distinct expected target PVCs. Replace the aggregate succeeded-only check
so the test explicitly verifies count, target PVC identity, and each object’s
Completed phase.

VM from a kubevirt-datamover CBT backup,” register local cleanup before
runKubevirtDMBackup executes. Ensure cleanup deletes the fixed-name Restore
resource first, then the Backup resource, and also removes the multi-PVC
namespace when setup or assertions fail before the existing cleanup lines.

Ginkgo v2.28.3 FlakeAttempts behavior when a retry calls Skip after a previous attempt failed
💡 Result:
In Ginkgo v2.28.3, calling Skip during a retry (when a test is marked with FlakeAttempts) immediately terminates the current attempt and causes the entire specification to be reported as skipped [1][2]. Ginkgo's FlakeAttempts mechanism is designed to re-run a specification up to N times until it passes [3][4]. If a failure occurs, Ginkgo proceeds to the next attempt [4]. However, calling Skip is a distinct control flow signal in Ginkgo [1]. When Skip is invoked—whether during the first attempt or a subsequent retry—it signals that the test should not be counted as a failure or a success [2]. Consequently, the testing framework stops the retry loop, marks the spec as skipped, and does not proceed with any further attempts [1][2].

site:github.com/onsi/ginkgo v2.28.3 "FlakeAttempts" "Skip" spec state
💡 Result:
There is no explicit feature, issue, or configuration setting named "FlakeAttempts Skip spec state" introduced in Ginkgo v2.28.3 [1][2]. Ginkgo v2.28.3 is a minor release (released April 28, 2026) that focused on dependency updates and minor maintenance rather than changes to spec state handling or flake behavior [1][2]. The concepts mentioned relate to existing Ginkgo functionality: - FlakeAttempts: A decorator (or CLI flag) used to retry flaky tests up to N times until they pass [3][4]. - SpecStateSkipped: One of the defined spec states in Ginkgo, typically used when a test is skipped (either via user code, CLI filters, or suite configuration) [5][6]. If you are encountering a behavior where skipped specs are interacting with flake attempts, it is likely due to the existing execution model. In Ginkgo, if a spec is skipped (e.g., via a filter or Skip() call), it does not execute, and therefore its "flake" behavior (retry logic) is not triggered [7][6]. Conversely, if a spec is not skipped and is marked with FlakeAttempts, it will be executed repeatedly upon failure [3][4]. If you are looking for specific behavior regarding skipped specs and reporting, users typically inspect the SpecState and FailureMessage() in report data to distinguish between different types of skips [5][8].

site:onsi.github.io/ginkgo "FlakeAttempts" "Skip"
💡 Result:
In the Ginkgo testing framework, FlakeAttempts is a decorator used to manage flaky tests by instructing Ginkgo to retry a test (or a group of tests) up to a specified number of times until it passes [1]. It does not inherently skip tests [1]. There is no specific feature or interaction called "FlakeAttempts Skip." The concepts of "FlakeAttempts" and "Skip" are distinct functionalities within Ginkgo: 1. FlakeAttempts: Used to retry tests (e.g., FlakeAttempts(3) runs a test up to 3 times) to handle intermittent failures [1]. 2. Skip: Used to programmatically skip a test or an entire test suite (e.g., using Skip or AbortSuite), preventing those tests from executing [2][1]. If a test is decorated with FlakeAttempts, Ginkgo will continue to retry the test until it either passes or reaches the maximum number of attempts [1]. If the test fails on the final attempt, the test is marked as failed, not skipped. While you can skip tests in Ginkgo using various mechanisms (such as Skip or pending specs), these are separate from the retry logic provided by FlakeAttempts [2][1].

github onsi ginkgo v2.28.3 internal spec FlakeAttempts attemptSpec SpecStateSkipped retry source
💡 Result:
In the Ginkgo testing framework, specifically around version v2.28.3, flake management and spec states are handled through the following mechanisms: FlakeAttempts Decorator The FlakeAttempts(uint N) decorator allows you to mark individual specs or containers as flaky [1][2]. Ginkgo will automatically re-run these specs up to N times until they pass [1][2]. This functionality can also be controlled globally by the CLI flag --flake-attempts=N, which overrides any local decorator values [2][3]. SpecStateSkipped SpecStateSkipped is an enumerated state (types.SpecState) used to represent a spec that has been skipped [4][5]. This occurs in several scenarios: - Explicit user action: Calling Skip within a test [4][6]. - Filtering: When a spec is excluded due to label, focus, or other filter criteria [7]. - Suite Lifecycle: Specs may be skipped due to suite-wide events like timeouts, aborts, or parent node failures [7]. Internal Spec Retry Logic Ginkgo tracks the number of attempts for a spec using the NumAttempts field in the SpecReport [4]. When a spec is flagged for retries (via FlakeAttempts), Ginkgo checks if the previous attempts resulted in failure [4][6]. A spec is considered "flaked" if it initially failed but eventually passed on a subsequent attempt, which is reflected in the reporting suite (e.g., NumberOfFlakedSpecs) [4][5]. While Ginkgo provides these built-in retry mechanisms, they are intended for non-deterministic "flaky" tests [8]. For expected asynchronous behavior in distributed systems, the Ginkgo/Gomega project explicitly recommends using Eventually rather than relying on FlakeAttempts [8]. Users requiring conditional retries can also inspect CurrentSpecReport.NumAttempts within a test to programmatically decide whether to continue or fail [9].

In Ginkgo v2.28.3, NumAttempts and SpecStateSkipped are components of the reporting system defined within the github.com/onsi/ginkgo/v2/types package [1][2]. NumAttempts NumAttempts is an integer field within the SpecReport struct that captures the total number of times a specific test (spec) was executed [1][3]. Ginkgo increments this value when a spec is retried, for example, due to the use of the FlakeAttempts decorator or the --flake-attempts CLI flag, or when repeated using the MustPassRepeatedly decorator [1][2]. SpecStateSkipped SpecStateSkipped is a constant representing a specific state of a test spec [1][4]. It is one of several possible values for the SpecState type (a bitmask) used by Ginkgo to report the outcome of a test [1][2]. The available states include: SpecStatePending SpecStateSkipped SpecStatePassed SpecStateFailed SpecStateAborted SpecStatePanicked SpecStateInterrupted SpecStateTimedout You can check if a spec is in a particular state by using the Is method (e.g., specReport.State.Is(SpecStateSkipped)) [2][4]. Unlike failure states (e.g., SpecStateFailed or SpecStatePanicked), SpecStateSkipped is generally used to indicate that a test was intentionally skipped by the user, such as by calling Skip within the test code [1][2].

Preserve failures for unrecognized retry results.
When the first attempt fails and knownFlake is false, ginkgo.Skip sets the retry attempt to SpecStateSkipped and stops FlakeAttempts. Ginkgo then does not mark the suite as failed. CI can pass while the restore scenario remains unverified.
Replace ginkgo.Skip with ginkgo.Fail at both retry guards, or remove FlakeAttempts until failure classification preserves the original failure.

k8s.io/client-go v0.36.0 util/retry RetryOnConflict DefaultBackoff source context callback contract
💡 Result:
In the k8s.io/client-go library (v0.36.0), RetryOnConflict and DefaultBackoff are core utilities found in the util/retry package [1][2]. RetryOnConflict Contract RetryOnConflict is designed to handle optimistic concurrency conflicts that occur when multiple clients attempt to update the same Kubernetes resource simultaneously [3][4]. Its callback contract requires the following behavior: 1. Re-fetching: The provided function (fn) must fetch the latest version of the resource at the beginning of every retry attempt [3][4]. Failing to re-fetch will result in the client using an outdated resource version, leading to repeated conflicts. 2. Error Returning: The function must return the error directly from the update call without wrapping it [3][4]. RetryOnConflict uses errors.IsConflict internally to check if the error is a conflict; wrapping the error will hide it from this check and terminate the retry loop prematurely [3][4]. 3. Success: If the update succeeds, the function should return nil [3][4]. If it returns a non-conflict error, RetryOnConflict will immediately return that error to the caller, abandoning retries [3][4]. DefaultBackoff Definition While DefaultRetry is often used with RetryOnConflict, DefaultBackoff is specifically recommended for scenarios where a client makes an unrelated modification to a resource managed by one or more controllers [3][4]. In v0.36.0, it is defined as [3][4]: - Steps: 4 - Duration: 10 milliseconds - Factor: 5.0 - Jitter: 0.1 When used, RetryOnConflict will wait according to the backoff parameters if a Conflict error is detected, repeating the cycle until either the operation succeeds or the maximum number of steps is reached [3][4].

Add a deadline to the conflict-retry API calls.
context.Background() does not cancel a stalled Get or Update. A blocked callback can outlive retry.DefaultBackoff. Create one bounded context before RetryOnConflict and pass it to both calls.

migtools/kubevirt-datamover-controller#207, openshift#208, and openshift#212 all merged (16:48, 19:06, 21:38 UTC). Confirmed the default image has caught up too: quay.io/konveyor/kubevirt-datamover-controller:latest's mirror refreshed at 22:01:45 UTC, after the last merge; and openshift/release#82762 wires this image directly into oadp-dev's ci-operator base_images/ operator.substitutions, so Prow e2e picks up a freshly-built image immediately regardless of mirror cadence. The custom quay.io/tkaovila/kubevirt-datamover-controller:combined-208-212v3-test override this suite carried since validating those PRs pre-merge is no longer needed -- the settings.json-driven UnsupportedOverrides path (unaffected by this change) is the normal, permanent path going forward.

item 1) The restore-side "hard" data-integrity checksum in the kdm restore specs was silently skipped on effectively every run: it only trusted the read if the VM was still Halted immediately before and after, but the restored VM was already Running by the very first status read after restore, every time observed. The core assertion these specs exist to run had likely never actually executed. Adds VirtOperator.EnsureVmHaltedForExclusivePVCAccess: deterministically stops the VM (v.StopVm) and waits for its virt-launcher pod to actually disappear, rather than hoping to catch a naturally-occurring halted window. Unconditional by design -- a bypass keyed on "no pod right now" would have the same race shape as the bug this closes, since the restored VM's spec.running stays true and KubeVirt could create a new launcher pod moments later. Both call sites now always restart the VM afterward (StartVm), including when EnsureVmHaltedForExclusivePVCAccess itself errors out, since StopVm was still called either way. Validated live end-to-end on a real bare-metal KVM cluster (tkaovila-260901-amd64, us-west-2), not just locally-reasoned: - First attempt caught two real bugs CodeRabbit flagged that a synthetic run alone wouldn't have exercised: (1) trusting the VM's printableStatus string instead of the virt-launcher pod's actual presence -- Paused/Starting/Stopping all still have an attached pod just like Running; (2) the restart-on-error path never firing because the code short-circuited past it whenever the halt itself failed, which would have left the VM permanently stopped for the rest of the spec. - After fixing both, a live run still hit a 5-minute timeout waiting for the virt-launcher pod to disappear. Root cause: GetAllPodsWithLabel returns an error on a genuinely empty list ("no Pod found") instead of a clean empty result, so every poll tick misread "the pod is actually gone" as a transient failure worth retrying rather than success -- fixed by calling the Pods().List() client directly instead of routing through that helper. - Final live run: both kdm restore specs passed, hard assertions genuinely executed (real matching checksums via the exclusive helper pod, not skipped), stop-to-pod-gone taking ~5-36s in practice. go build/vet/gofmt clean.
