Skippable test scaffolding on create (api|webhook)

[migueleliasweb]

What do you want to happen?

Context

Giving the ability to skip test creation would allow users who have diverged from the original test scaffolding without facing the error when creating new APIs.

Currently, it seems like the create api|webhook commands require the test/e2e/e2e_test.go to exist and they will also create a <kind>_test.go in every call.

When creating a new webhok after having moved the test/e2e/e2e_test.go files somewhere else, this error is shown:

FATA failed to create webhook: unable to scaffold with "base.go.kubebuilder.io/v4": open test/e2e/e2e_test.go: no such file or directory 

The current workaround is to create an empty file in that location, just so kubebuilder is happy enough to run the command.

Ps: I know the idea here is to create a plugin for kubebuilder but I don't quite have that need yet. It would be nice if I could just keep using the default scaffolding without having to have empty files laying around.

Proposal

My proposal is to create a --skip-test-scaffolding flag for create (api|webhook) calls.

Hi @migueleliasweb

Thank you for raise this one. That is happing because we have markers for the tests now; https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder/blob/master/testdata/project-v4/test/e2e/e2e_test.go#L316

But I agree 100%. In this case, we should WARNING and say that we are unable to scaffold e2e tests for webhooks since the path was not found.

Would you like to push a PR for this one?
