What

Deploy the loki operator once for the lokistack e2e suite instead of redeploying it in every spec's BeforeEach.

  • The loki operator is a cluster singleton, so it's now installed in a suite-scoped BeforeSuite and torn down in AfterSuite, rather than per-spec.
  • DeployLokiOperator() now skips the install when the operator deployment is already available (pre-installed, or left over from a prior run), returning early so it doesn't register a cleanup that would delete an operator it didn't create.

Why

Reinstalling/uninstalling the operator for each spec is wasteful and slow. Deploying it once per suite reduces churn and setup time.

The "skip if already available" guard is borrowed from #3536; the broader parallel-execution machinery in that PR is intentionally left out of this change.

Testing

  • go build ./test/framework/e2e/... and go vet ./test/e2e/logforwarding/lokistack/... ./test/framework/e2e/... pass.
  • Full e2e execution requires a live OpenShift cluster and was not run here.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Tests
    • End-to-end LokiStack tests now share an operator deployment across the test suite and clean up the shared environment afterward. Ready deployments are reused, while deployments still starting are awaited.
    • Log-forwarding checks now target logs from the expected test generator and container. The generator emits logs continuously, and readiness checks wait for LokiStack to report ready before checking workloads.
    • LokiStack test configuration enables OpenShift console labels and increases ingestion capacity to support higher log volume.

The loki operator is a cluster singleton, but the lokistack e2e specs
redeployed it in BeforeEach, once per spec. Deploy it a single time in
BeforeSuite and tear it down in AfterSuite via a suite-scoped framework,
so the operator install/uninstall no longer repeats for every spec.

Also skip the install when the operator deployment is already available
(pre-installed or left over from a prior run); returning early avoids
registering a cleanup that would delete an operator we did not create.

📝 Walkthrough

The test suite deploys the Loki operator once. The framework checks operator deployment availability and waits for the LokiStack Ready condition before checking workloads. Application-log queries accept label filters, and affected tests filter for the log generator’s container name.

Changes: LokiStack end-to-end flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Operator deployment and suite lifecycle
test/framework/e2e/lokistack.go, test/e2e/logforwarding/lokistack/forward_to_lokistack_test.go
The deployment helper checks for an existing operator deployment before installing. It returns when the deployment is available, waits when it exists but is not fully available, and returns lookup errors other than NotFound. Suite setup deploys the operator once, and suite teardown cleans it up.
LokiStack settings and readiness
test/framework/e2e/lokistack.go
The LokiStack configuration enables OpenShift console labels and raises ingestion burst and rate limits from 10 to 50. WaitForLokistackReady waits for the LokiStack Ready condition before checking component workloads.
Filtered application-log checks
test/framework/e2e/lokistack.go, test/e2e/logforwarding/lokistack/forward_to_lokistack_test.go
HasApplicationLogs accepts optional label key/value pairs and adds complete pairs to its stream selector. Affected tests filter for k8s_container_name equal to logGenName. The log generator emits logs at 100 ms intervals.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to b4c1e

No merge-blocking issue was established in the changed LokiStack test flow. The e2e suite still needs its normal cluster-backed validation.

DeployLokiOperator previously fell through to the install path whenever
the operator deployment existed but was not yet available, or when the
Get returned any error. That re-posted the OperatorGroup/Subscription and
registered cleanups that would delete an operator this run did not create.

Gate the install on the deployment being confirmed absent (NotFound):
- available -> skip (unchanged)
- exists but not yet available -> wait for availability
- non-NotFound Get error -> return the error

The first lokistack spec (OTLP, dataModel == Otel) was failing pervasively:
the log generator's application logs were never ingested within the query
timeout while the lokistack gateway's own application logs were, so the
generic application-log readiness check passed on collateral logs and the
container-scoped assertion then timed out.

- Generate at a low, steady rate (add a delay) so a single stream does not
  overrun the lokistack per-stream ingestion rate limit, which is more
  easily tripped by the label-heavy Otel data model.
- Raise the test lokistack global ingestion limits (10 -> 50).
- Add optional label matchers to HasApplicationLogs so callers can scope the
  readiness check to the container under test instead of matching any
  application log (e.g. the lokistack gateway's own logs).
- Gate WaitForLokistackReady on the LokiStack CR Ready condition so it
  returns only once all components (including the ingesters) can ingest.

waitForLokistackReadyCondition discarded every GET error and polled until
the timeout, so an error like Forbidden only surfaced as a generic wait
timeout. Retry solely on NotFound, which is expected while the LokiStack
is being created, and return any other error immediately.
