Enhancement: Added argument spec and assert role spec validation to the cockpit role. Also wrote tests for it found in tests/tests_invalid_input.

Reason: Because it is a good addition to the linux-system-roles project.

Result: Successfully added it and prepared tests for it. I used AI during this implementation.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added documented configuration options for Cockpit packages, service startup, port selection, firewall and SELinux management, certificates, and transactional update reboots.
    • Added support for validating certificate configuration fields and their accepted values.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Invalid role settings are now detected before Cockpit setup begins, with clearer error messages identifying the problematic values.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for valid defaults and invalid package, port, certificate, boolean, DNS, and reboot-related settings.

Cockpit input validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Define role argument contracts
meta/argument_specs.yml
The role declares parameter types, defaults, choices, and certificate sub-options.
Validate parameters before role tasks
tasks/assert_role_vars.yml, tasks/main.yml
The role validates parameter types and certificate fields before executing subsequent tasks.
Exercise accepted and rejected inputs
tests/tests_invalid_input.yml
Tests cover valid defaults, argument-spec failures, runtime assertion failures, and cleanup.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 08d8a

The PR adds role argument validation and invalid-input tests, but the current tests bypass the required fact-reset wrapper and can pass without confirming the expected validation error. This can produce false-positive test results, so the PR is not merge-ready until the test harness and failure assertions are corrected.

Use the required role test wrapper.

Direct ansible.builtin.include_role calls bypass the centrally managed fact-reset flow. Replace every invocation with ansible.builtin.include_tasks: tasks/run_role_with_clear_facts.yml and pass each test value through vars.

  • tests/tests_invalid_input.yml#L12-L13: run the default case through the wrapper.
  • tests/tests_invalid_input.yml#L25-L26: run the missing-name case through the wrapper.
  • tests/tests_invalid_input.yml#L49-L50: run the missing-CA case through the wrapper.
  • tests/tests_invalid_input.yml#L74-L75: run the invalid cockpit_enabled case through the wrapper.
  • tests/tests_invalid_input.yml#L94-L95: run the invalid cockpit_manage_firewall case through the wrapper.
  • tests/tests_invalid_input.yml#L116-L117: run the invalid key_usage case through the wrapper.
  • tests/tests_invalid_input.yml#L144-L145: run the invalid cockpit_packages case through the wrapper.
  • tests/tests_invalid_input.yml#L166-L167: run the invalid cockpit_port case through the wrapper.
  • tests/tests_invalid_input.yml#L188-L189: run the invalid reboot-approval case through the wrapper.
  • tests/tests_invalid_input.yml#L210-L211: run the invalid certificate DNS case through the wrapper.

As per path instructions, “ALWAYS use the centrally managed wrapper.”

Verify the expected validation failure before marking the case as passed.

Each listed rescue block sets its success fact after any role failure. An unrelated role error can therefore make the following assertion pass. Match the expected validation error in ansible_failed_result before setting the fact. Let the following assertion fail when the error does not match.

  • tests/tests_invalid_input.yml#L78-L81: verify the cockpit_enabled type-validation error.
  • tests/tests_invalid_input.yml#L98-L101: verify the cockpit_manage_firewall type-validation error.
  • tests/tests_invalid_input.yml#L124-L127: verify the key_usage choice-validation error.
  • tests/tests_invalid_input.yml#L148-L151: verify the cockpit_packages assertion error.
  • tests/tests_invalid_input.yml#L170-L173: verify the cockpit_port assertion error.
  • tests/tests_invalid_input.yml#L192-L195: verify the transactional-reboot assertion error.
  • tests/tests_invalid_input.yml#L217-L220: verify the certificate DNS assertion error.
