[Fleet]: Latest snapshot version not available under Agent upgrade modal for Snapshot builds.

[amolnater-qasource]

Kibana version: 8.4 Snapshot Kibana cloud environment

Host OS and Browser version: All, All

Build details:

VERSION: 8.4.0 Snapshot
BUILD: 55395
COMMIT: 1922ab0b6f8dc2906ef10f3fb65fc4d0e0076f90

Preconditions:

1. 8.4 Snapshot Kibana cloud environment should be available.
2. Lower version agents should be installed.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Navigate to Fleet>Agents tab.
2. Click on Upgrade agent and observe 8.4 Snapshot version not available.
   • Because of this agent upgrades fail on 8.4 Snapshot.

Expected Result:
Latest snapshot version should be available under Agent upgrade modal for Snapshot builds.

Screenshots:

Issue outcome:

• In serverless environment we only rely on versions coming from the webversions API that are pulled during the build.
• If the Kibana version is a snapshot, we should be able to show the snapshot versions available
• If a user selects a snapshot version OR manually types it in, Fleet should not strip the -SNAPSHOT suffix from the version before sending the action to the agent. It should send the full version with -SNAPSHOT.

Hi @joshdover
We have revalidated this issue on latest 8.4.1 Snapshot Kibana Cloud environment and found it still reproducible.

Build Details:
8.4.1 Snapshot
BUILD: 55429
COMMIT: 6f7ac5a

Screenshots:
Agent Upgrade on 8.4.1 Snapshot:

We have tested agent upgrades from 8.4.0>8.4.1 BC1 using Agent Binary feature and found it working fine.

However, we are blocked to test agent upgrade (lower than 8.4.0) on 8.4.1 Snapshot because of this issue.
Thanks

Do we need to support this? It should be possible to type in the number manually + ENTER for testing purposes.

[nimarezainia]

From a customer perspective we don't need to support this imo. Customers (users of that modal) will only need GA releases.

@joshdover does this have development value? say you have provided a fix and the upgrade path for that fix needs to be tested (just a thought)

[joshdover]

It should be possible to type in the number manually + ENTER for testing purposes.

Assuming that this works as I think it should, I don't think we have development value in this if we can just type in the version manually.

Hi @joshdover @nimarezainia

Thank you for looking into this.
We have attempted to manually write the version 8.7.0-SNAPSHOT under the agent upgrade modal, however it itself edits it to 8.7.0.

8.7.0-SNAPSHOT

Hi Team,

We have revalidated this issue on latest 8.10.0 SNAPSHOT kibana cloud environment and found it still reproducible.

Observations:

• Latest snapshot version not available under Agent upgrade modal for Snapshot builds.

Yes this is still a bug, but was dependent on some Agent changes which are now complete. We can now modify Fleet to send the -SNAPSHOT in the version number down to the Agent. It will only work for upgrading Agents from 8.9.0 -> 8.10.0-SNAPSHOT or later.

[joshdover]

This seems important for upgrade testing so I'm moving this forward a bit - it should also be a small change.

[hop-dev]

Sorry I'm not clear what we are intending to implement here @joshdover @jlind23, should this be the behaviour:

It should be possible to type in the number manually + ENTER for testing purposes.

Or if the current kibana version is a snapshot (or we are in dev mode), we could just add the current kibana version + "-SNAPSHOT" to the list?

[jlind23]

If the Kibana version is a snapshot, we should be able to show the snapshot versions available.

[jlind23]

@hop-dev Per our Slack conversation in serverless environment we should only rely on versions coming from the webversions API that are pulled during the build.

[jlind23]

I added the points above in the issue description to make sure these are fixed/worked on.

[joshdover]

Added one more point to the description to remove the logic we have (I think) for stripping the -SNAPSHOT suffix.

[joshdover]

@jlind23 I think we should fast-track the Serverless fix as it is going to confuse a lot of folks during the testing period next week. Should we split it out as a separate P1 issue?

[jlind23]

@joshdover This is Mark's next priority so I believe this would be fixed and available in Serverless fairly soon.
How did you wanted to fast-track this otherwise?

Serveless parts aren't quite done for initial download. PR incoming

Hi Team,

We have revalidated this issue on latest 8.11.0 SNAPSHOT kibana cloud environment and had below observations:

Observations:

• We are successfully able to add Custom version to the snapshot build.
• 8.11.0-SNAPSHOT is also added by default.
• However we have faced a separate issue where custom added version gets lowercase. Details are reported under [Fleet]: Custom version 8.10.1-SNAPSHOT added while upgrade gets in lowercase 8.10.1-snapshot, fails the upgrade. #166685

Build details:
VERSION: 8.11.0 SNAPSHOT
BUILD: 67091
COMMIT: e00aa75

Screen Recording:

Agents.-.Fleet.-.Elastic.-.Google.Chrome.2023-09-19.12-34-00.mp4

Hence we are marking this issue as QA:Validated.

Thanks!
