All code must use the context from Ginkgo when doing API calls or polling for a
change, otherwise the code would not return immediately when the test gets
aborted.
The empty string was the default and then triggered a special
warning. There's no good reason for that behavior, so now the special
handling for "unset provider" is gone and "skeleton" is the non-empty
default for the value.
This finishes the work started for 1.13: instead of merely warning
about an unknown value given to --profile, the test/e2e/e2e.test
binary will now print an error and refuse to run.
Fixes: #70200
The E2E refactoring tightened the sanity checking of the --provider
parameter such that it only allowed known providers. That seemed to
make sense because it catches typos, but it turned out that various
callers depended on the "accept arbitrary provider value" behavior,
therefore it gets restored.
Not all users of the E2E framework want to run cloud-provider specific
tests. By splitting out the code it becomes possible to decide in
a E2E test suite which providers are supported.
This is achieved in two ways:
- the framework calls certain functions through a provider
interface instead of calling specific cloud provider functions
directly
- tests that are cloud-provider specific directly import the
new provider packages
The ingress test utilities are only needed by a few tests. Splitting
them out into a separate package makes the framework simpler for test
suites not using those tests.
Fixes: #66649
