Run only the input_selection e2e suite's specs in parallel to cut wall-clock time; the CI script drives that suite with the ginkgo CLI (the only way Ginkgo v2 runs specs in parallel). Every other suite runs serially.

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.

CI script

hack/test-e2e-from-ci-bundle.sh runs all suites serially (skipping FlowControl and InputSelection), then runs ./test/e2e/input_selection/ alone with -p --procs=4. Only this suite is parallel-safe: other suites deploy cluster-scoped resources (e.g. the lokistack suite's reader ClusterRole and LokiStacks) that parallel specs would delete out from under each other, and the claimed CI cluster cannot sustain more than one LokiStack at a time.

lokistack

The suite stays Serial. Minio and the loki operator (cluster singletons) are now deployed once per suite in BeforeSuite (cleaned up in AfterSuite) instead of in every spec's BeforeEach; each spec stands up only its own LokiStack. The loki operator install is skipped when the operator deployment already exists.

This also fixes the parallel-run 401/403 gateway failures seen in CI: parallel specs each created/deleted the shared cluster-scoped logging-collector-logs-reader ClusterRole, revoking authorization from other specs' in-flight LokiStack gateway queries.

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.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Explanation

The title names the input_selection e2e specs and the parallel execution change, which is the main change of the PR. The title is short, specific, and uses the conventional test(e2e) prefix. It omits the lokistack parallelization and the CI script change, which the description and objectives also cover, but that is an acceptable level of detail.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description covers intent, rationale, and the implementation for input_selection, the CI script, and lokistack. It follows the template's Description section. It has no screenshots or code blocks, which the template suggests but does not require. The Links section is present but left empty, and the /cc and /assign reviewer lines are missing, though both are marked MANDATORY in the template. The description does not state which reviewers or approvers were assigned.

Resolution

Add the mandatory /cc line naming at least one reviewer from the top-level OWNERS file and the mandatory /assign line naming at least one approver from the top-level OWNERS file. The template's /cc and /assign lines are absent from the description. Fill in the Links section or remove the unused placeholders. Consider adding a short code block or example of the token scheme to aid readers.

🟡 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)

/retest

Run only the input_selection suite with the ginkgo CLI in parallel
(--procs=4); every other suite runs serially. The lokistack suite in
particular must stay serial: the claimed CI cluster cannot sustain more
than one LokiStack at a time, and its shared, cluster-scoped reader
ClusterRole is created/deleted per spec, which parallel specs revoke
out from under each other's in-flight gateway queries (401/403).

Also deploy minio once per lokistack suite alongside the loki operator
(whose install is already skipped when the operator is deployed); each
spec stands up only its own LokiStack.
