The Operators GitHub Actions job was intermittently failing due to flakiness in instautoctrl e2e tests. Failures were caused by order-sensitive specs running with randomized execution order, triggering occasional timeout assertions.

  • Problem focus

    • The failing path was in operators/pkg/instautoctrl/test_e2e, where shared suite state and cleanup/setup assumptions are not fully order-independent.
    • Ginkgo randomization made those latent ordering dependencies surface as non-deterministic CI failures.
  • Change made

    • Updated TestInstautoctrl in operators/pkg/instautoctrl/test_e2e/instautoctrl_suite_test.go to explicitly disable randomization for this suite.
  • Why this change

    • Keeps current suite behavior deterministic while preserving existing test logic.
    • Removes CI noise from random order permutations until deeper test isolation refactors are introduced.
func TestInstautoctrl(t *testing.T) {
	RegisterFailHandler(Fail)
	suiteConfig, reporterConfig := GinkgoConfiguration()
	suiteConfig.RandomizeAllSpecs = false
	RunSpecs(t, "Instautoctrl Suite", suiteConfig, reporterConfig)
}

Closes #1174

@copilot if you see the code testing results (https://github.com/netgroup-polito/CrownLabs/actions/runs/29902645127/job/88866692509?pr=1168) it's clear your change was completely useless :)
Also have a look at #1174 maybe...

Addressed with commit 295deee. I replaced the previous randomization workaround and stabilized the flaky instautoctrl e2e tests by isolating per-spec resources and mock state, then validated with repeated runs of go test ./pkg/instautoctrl/test_e2e -count=1 and go test ./pkg/instautoctrl/....

@copilot little linting issue still
https://github.com/netgroup-polito/CrownLabs/actions/runs/30111903747/job/89543205232?pr=1168

Fixed in 1290f07: applied the required gofmt alignment in operators/pkg/instautoctrl/test_e2e/instautoctrl_inactivity_test.go (the line flagged by lint). I also re-ran lint locally with the same golangci-lint version used in CI and it now reports 0 issues.
