feat : Add support to add Service annotations from DevWorkspaceRouting configuration (#1293)

[rohanKanojia]

What does this PR do?

Add support for adding Service annotations from DevWorkspace component configuration to actual Service created by DevWorkspace operator

• Add new field service that contains annotation field for storing annotations in DevWorkspaceRouting CustomResourceDefinition
• Update code to read DevWorkspace component service annotation to DevWorkspaceRouting service configuration and apply these annotations while creating routing objects in DevWorkspaceRouting controller
• Removes references to service annotations from the unsupported Devfile API documentation
• Remove the webhook warning when applying service annotations

What issues does this PR fix or reference?

Fix#1293

Is it tested? How?

• Make sure CRC cluster is running
• Install DWO on cluster based on changes added in this PR. You'd need to create new container image and install operator

export DWO_IMG=quay.io/rokumar/devworkspace-controller:dev
make docker
make install

• Apply the following DevWorkspace object, that adds one endpoint exposes by a Service. There is also configuration for adding annotations in Service:

• Once the workspace has started, check the created Service, annotations specified in should be applied there

oc get svc workspaceaf104799e6fb4633-service -ojsonpath='{.metadata.annotations}'
{"first-service-annotation":"test","second-service-annotation":"test2"}

If possible, it would be best if this function signature (and also GetServiceForEndpoints) are not changed so that function consumers are not affected. For example for che-operator, we use solver.GetServiceForEndpoints in che_routing.go

[dkwon17]

Or, if we want to change the function signature, maybe we can refactor it to use "Functional Options Pattern" so that new fields can be easily added without breaking consumer code: https://golang.cafe/blog/golang-functional-options-pattern.html ?

For example something similar to:

solver.GetDiscoverableServicesForEndpoints(
solver.WithEndpoints(endpoints),
solver.WithMetadata(metadata),
solver.WithAnnotations(annotations),
)

[rohanKanojia]

hmm, good point. I wasn't aware about this. Let me think if it's possible to do it without changing method signature.

[rohanKanojia]

Looking closely at the changes, Currently Service generation is closely tied to Endpoints, We're going over component to endpoint map and creating Service accordingly. At this point we know for which component we're creating Service, so we can add appropriate annotations for appropriate component.

However, if we want to move this logic outside and set annotations after creating the Service; it would be uncertain which Service belongs to which component. If we decide to mutate Service with a marker label containing component, it should become possible:

I mean replacing this

devworkspace-operator/controllers/controller/devworkspacerouting/solvers/common.go

Lines 60 to 63 in 492c050

	Namespace: meta.Namespace,
	Labels: map[string]string{
	constants.DevWorkspaceIDLabel: meta.DevWorkspaceId,
	},

 Labels: map[string]string{
constants.DevWorkspaceIDLabel: meta.DevWorkspaceId,
+ "workspace.dev/component": componentName,
},

We can then iterate over generated Services and apply annotations by reading component label (that can be deleted after processing). If you think this approach is okay then I can make changes to keep original method signature.

[dkwon17]

IMHO it should be the DWO that provides the API that conforms with the Devfile spec, therefore, it makes more sense to apply annotations within the functions provided by DWO

[rohanKanojia]

Umm, Not 100% sure I understand but do you mean it's okay to keep these changes?

[dkwon17]

Since infrastructure.IsOpenShift() is commonly used in the codebase, I don't think this fcuntion is necessary

[rohanKanojia]

Actually, I had exposed this for testing. I wanted to mock the behavior of infrastructure.IsOpenShift() method.

Let me think on how I can do it without adding this function.

[rohanKanojia]

Thanks, I see there is already a method created for mocking behavior of this method for tests

devworkspace-operator/pkg/infrastructure/cluster.go

Lines 57 to 60 in cf4c38d

	// InitializeForTesting is used to mock running on a specific type of cluster (Kubernetes, OpenShift) in testing code.
	funcInitializeForTesting(currentInfrastructureType) {
	current=currentInfrastructure
	initialized=true

I'll use already provided method instead of what I added.

[dkwon17]

Suggested change

	funcserviceAnnotations(sourceAnnotationsmap[string]string, isDiscoverablebool, serviceRoutingConfig controllerv1alpha1.Service) map[string]string {
	funcmergeServiceAnnotations(sourceAnnotationsmap[string]string, serviceRoutingConfig controllerv1alpha1.Service) map[string]string {

I suggest "merge" for more clarity.

Also, for readability and simplicity I think it would be best to avoid boolean flags and instead call the function like:

serviceAnnotations := map[string]string{
constants.DevWorkspaceDiscoverableServiceAnnotation: "true",
}
mergeServiceAnnotations(serviceAnnotations, routingSpec.Service[componentName]),

WDYT?

[rohanKanojia]

Okay, I'll update it as per your comments.

[akurinnoy]

I followed the "Is it tested? How?" steps and got the expected result.

PR Readiness Assessment: PR #1439 — feat : Add support to add Service annotations from DevWorkspaceRouting configuration (#1293)

Repository: devfile/devworkspace-operator
Linked Issue: #1293 — Add Service Annotations to the DevWorkspaceRouting CRD

---

#	Criterion	Verdict	Notes
1	Problem Statement	PASS	Clear description of the feature: adding support for Service annotations from DevWorkspace component configuration. Linked issue #1293 provides additional context about resolving container-level service annotations.
2	Reproduction Steps	PASS	Comprehensive testing instructions provided: setup CRC cluster, build custom operator image, install DWO, apply test DevWorkspace YAML with service annotations, and verify the Service resource.
3	Expected Behavior After Fix	PASS	Clearly stated: service annotations specified in the DevWorkspace component config should appear on the created Kubernetes Service. Expected output shown: {"first-service-annotation":"test","second-service-annotation":"test2"}.
4	Scope of Changes	PASS	19 files changed with clear rationale. Core changes: new Service field in DevWorkspaceRouting CRD, updates to routing controllers to merge and apply annotations, removal of webhook warnings (now supported), comprehensive tests. Most file count is CRD manifests and generated code. Breaking changes documented in CHANGELOG.
5	Test Evidence	PASS	Strong test coverage: 247 lines of new unit tests in basic_solver_test.go covering annotation merging, Kubernetes ingress generation, and OpenShift route generation. Existing controller tests updated to verify service annotations. Manual testing guidance with specific commands and expected output.
6	Deployment & Verification Notes	PASS	Complete verification guidance: specific commands to build operator image (make docker), install (make install), apply test DevWorkspace, and verify with oc get svc using JSONPath to inspect annotations.

Overall: READY

Missing Information

While the PR is comprehensive, these minor items could be added:

• E2E test results: The PR checklist shows E2E tests haven't been triggered yet. Comment /test v8-devworkspace-operator-e2e, v8-che-happy-path to run them as indicated in the checklist.
• Target version/milestone: Consider mentioning which operator version this targets (appears to be v0.37.0 based on CHANGELOG structure).

What's Good

• Excellent testing instructions: Step-by-step manual verification with exact commands, sample YAML, and expected output makes this trivial to reproduce and verify.
• Comprehensive test coverage: New unit tests cover both Kubernetes (Ingress) and OpenShift (Route) platforms, plus annotation merging logic.
• API changes well-documented: Breaking changes in method signatures clearly documented in CHANGELOG with specific methods and parameter changes listed.
• Feature completion: Removed service annotations from unsupported features documentation and webhook warnings, showing the feature is fully integrated.
• Clear example configuration: Sample DevWorkspace YAML demonstrates both endpoint-level and service-level annotations, making the feature easy to understand.
• Generated code properly updated: All necessary generated files (deepcopy, CRD manifests for multiple platforms) have been regenerated.
