Enhance Test for kubebuilder alpha generate Command

[camilamacedo86]

What do you want to happen?

We need to enhance the testing of the kubebuilder alpha generate command. For further information see: https://book.kubebuilder.io/reference/rescaffold

Note that under the testdata we scaffold samples:

• testdata dir: https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/tree/master/testdata
• code used to generate the samples: https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/blob/master/test/testdata/generate.sh

The goal here is to validate its functionality for all samples under testdata. A shell script solution is acceptable for this purpose, but if a better approach using Go tests (leveraging the existing test framework) can be implemented to validate the PROJECT file content, it would be preferable. Currently, the command is tested under: e2e/alphagenerate. This enhancement aims to:

Therfore what we need to do is:

• A CI test that will execute kubebuilder alpha generate inside of each sample under the testdata dir
• The command should be finished without errors
• (Optionally and if we find an easy way to do it maintainable ): Verify that the PROJECT file has the same webhooks and APIs as the original.

In this case, what we probably want is:

1. Shell Script:
   • Create a shell script and place it under:
     test.
   • The script will contain logic to call the relevant command for all directories under the testdata directory.

Example

# Example shell script logic
for dir in testdata/*; do
    # Call alpha-generate to validate the re-generation of all samples
    $kb alpha generate    
done

2. Makefile Target:
   • Add a new target to the Makefile, similar to these examples.
   • This target will be named something like test-alpha-generate.

Example

test-alpha-generate:
    ./test/alpha-generate.sh

3. CI Integration:

• Update the CI/GitHub workflows located at:
  .github/workflows.
• Create a new GitHub Action, e.g., test-alpha-generate.
• Configure the action to run only when changes occur in the following paths:
  • pkg/cli/alpha
  • The new shell script file
  • The workflow or GitHub Action itself

Example

name: Test Alpha Generate

on:
  push:
    paths:
      - 'pkg/cli/alpha/**'
      - 'test/alpha-generate.sh'
      - '.github/workflows/alpha-generate.yml'
  pull_request:
    paths:
      - 'pkg/cli/alpha/**'
      - 'test/**'
      - '.github/workflows/**'

jobs:
  test-alpha-generate:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v5
      - name: Run test-alpha-generate
        run: make test-alpha-generate
 ```
