Entrypoint img #522

aaron-prindle · 2019-01-07T21:21:38Z

What is the problem being solved?
This PR adds an entrypoint image which is capable of running another command with some pre-run/post-run hooks. The goal of this is to allow for the the entrypoint of a container in a Build Step to have it's entrypoint rewritten by mounting this entrypoint image into the container provided in a Step, rewriting the entrypoint, then running the user container w/ the additional pre-run/post-run hooks. The addition of this image enables the removal of init containers as per #521. This was originally part of #470 but is now split out.

What future work remains to be done?
This PR adds the entrypoint image and release step. The future work involved is modifying Build to stop using init container and use this entrypoint image as a way of making that possible.

TODO:

Add entrypoint image to release process

Looks like it's getting there! I think it's a lot easier to review this on its own vs in the context of #470 :)

My initial feedback at this point is that it seems like we could significantly simplify the options logic, looks like there's a lot of sophistication in there that we probably don't need at this point.

Also @imjasonh had mentioned in #470 (review) adding a README that describes in more detail how the logic works, which would be very handy (esp. for reviewing!)

cmd/entrypoint/main.go

+To use it, run
+```
+image: github.com/knative/build/cmd/entrypoint
+```


im not clear on what it means to run this, is this configuration part of a config file somewhere?

bobcatfish · 2019-01-23T00:03:45Z

+```
+
+It used in knative/build as a method of running containers in

maybe this could be two sentences, like:

"It is used as a method of running container in a specified order on the same pod. This is done by:"

+```


im kinda confused about what im looking at here, is this part of a build config?

I think array brackets are misplaced. Is it like this?

["/kaniko/executor", "shouldWaitForPrevStep": false, "preRunFile":"/tools/0", "shouldRunPostRun":true, "postRunFile":"/tools/1"]

That list corresponds to list of accepted args for entrypoint image I think.

The example shows how a user can just create step with entrypoint image and pass those args. I think this is the pattern in other cmd files(I think)

can we move this to a README in the same dir? ( @shashwathi do you think that makes sense? i think that's not been the norm for other cmds)

Its not the norm but if we are taking the pain to add README file then I would rather have documentation under docs folder instead of scattered README across the repo(exception like test package).

Would it make sense to add this information to a README file under docs/ then? Or would it make more sense to leave it as a comment (as it is currently) like it is done in the other cmds?

if we are taking the pain to add README file then I would rather have documentation under docs folder instead of scattered README across the repo(exception like test package)

hm i think this might make it hard to find the README tho @shashwathi ? i find that if docs are close to what they document they're often easier to find - unless we link to that README from a README here 🤔

@aaron-prindle it doesn't matter too much cuz we can always move the doc later, so I think create a README in either location for now - the important thing is to have it documented

pkg/entrypoint/run_test.go

+
+			// reset paths to new temp dir
+			options.PreRunFile = filepath.Join(tmpDir, options.PreRunFile)
+			options.PostRunFile = filepath.Join(tmpDir, options.PostRunFile)


what do you think about making it so that the Run function takes the options values as a parameter? Then we can pass in whatever values we want in the test without having to change global state

the options.Load function could return an options object instead of setting global state

bobcatfish · 2019-01-23T00:12:28Z

pkg/entrypoint/options/load.go

+	LoadConfig(config string) error
+	AddFlags(flags *flag.FlagSet)
+	Complete(args []string)
+}


whats the use case for this OptionLoader interface? seems like in our case we only have one kind of option loader (maybe im wrong tho!). if that's the case, we could simplify this by removing the option loader interface and just using the type we're using

would it work to simplify the option loading to something like what we do with other cmd executables in build:

build/cmd/git-init/main.go

Lines 29 to 33 in addfaf4

var (

url = flag.String("url", "", "The url of the Git repository to initialize.")

revision = flag.String("revision", "", "The Git revision to make the repository HEAD")

path = flag.String("path", "", "Path of directory under which git repository will be copied")

)

e.g. declaring a set of flags?

I like the idea of providing all image relevant flags in entrypoint/main.go. We can avoid layer of abstraction if its not needed

pkg/entrypoint/run.go

+	var arguments []string
+	if len(o.Args) > 1 {
+		arguments = o.Args[1:]
+	}


pkg/entrypoint/options_test.go

+	var testCases = []struct {
+		name        string
+		input       Options
+		expectedErr bool


pkg/entrypoint/run.go

+
+	var returnCode int
+	if status, ok := command.ProcessState.Sys().(syscall.WaitStatus); ok {
+		returnCode = status.ExitStatus()


pkg/entrypoint/run.go

+	return returnCode, commandErr
+}
+
+func (o *Options) waitForPrevStep() error {


pkg/entrypoint/options_test.go

+		},
+	}}
+
+	for _, testCase := range testCases {


pkg/entrypoint/run.go

+	// execute the user specified command
+	done := make(chan error)
+	go func() {
+		done <- command.Wait()
