The framework.AddCleanupAction API was a workaround for Ginkgo v1 not invoking
AfterEach callbacks after a test failure. Ginkgo v2 not only fixed that, but
also added a DeferCleanup API which can be used to run some code if (and only
if!) the corresponding setup code ran. In several cases that makes the test
cleanup simpler.
The previous approach with grabbing via a nginx proxy had some
drawbacks:
- it did not work when the pods only listened on localhost (as
configured by kubeadm) and the proxy got deployed on a different
node
- starting the proxy raced with starting the pods, causing
sporadic test failures because the proxy was not set up
properly unless it saw all pods when starting the e2e.test
- the proxy was always started, whether it is needed or not
- the proxy was left running after a test and then the next
test run triggered potentially confusing messages when
it failed to create objects for the proxy
The new approach is similar to "kubectl port-forward" + "kubectl get
--raw". It uses the port forwarding feature to establish a TCP
connection via a custom dialer, then lets client-go handle TLS and
credentials.
Somehow verifying the server certificate did not work. As this
shouldn't be a big concern for E2E testing, certificate checking gets
disabled on the client side instead of investigating this further.
suites.go is used from e2e.go only and suites.go has invalid dependency
to subpackage of e2e framework as e2e core framework.
So this moves suites.go from e2e core framework.
