Fixes: #9788

Description
The creation of skaffold-overrides.yaml was handled inside the Helm template arguments generation function. The deferto delete this file was also performed inside the same function. As a result the outer function requiring the skaffold-overrides.yaml while executing Helm rendering threw open skaffold-overrides.yaml: no such file or directory.

This fix moves the skaffold-overrides.yaml file deletion to the caller function.

Summary of Changes

Hello @vellotis, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request addresses a critical bug where the skaffold-overrides.yaml file was prematurely deleted, leading to 'no such file or directory' errors during Helm rendering. The fix involves refactoring the file creation and deletion logic, moving the responsibility for cleanup to the calling function (generateHelmManifest). This ensures the temporary overrides file is available for the entire duration it's needed by Helm, and then correctly removed. The changes also include new unit tests to validate the corrected behavior and new test utility functions.

Highlights

  • File Handling Refactor: The logic for creating and managing the lifecycle of the skaffold-overrides.yaml file has been extracted from the templateArgs function in args.go and moved to the higher-level generateHelmManifest function in helm.go.
  • Deferred File Deletion: The deletion of skaffold-overrides.yaml is now properly deferred within the generateHelmManifest function. This ensures the file exists for the duration of Helm rendering and is cleaned up afterwards, resolving the 'no such file or directory' error.
  • New Helper Function: A new helper function, generateSkaffoldOverrides, was introduced in helm.go to encapsulate the creation of the skaffold-overrides.yaml file and return a cleanup function (closure) to its caller.
  • Improved Test Coverage: Comprehensive unit tests have been added in a new file (helm_test.go) for the generateSkaffoldOverrides function, covering scenarios for no overrides, successful file creation and deletion, and error handling during file operations or YAML marshaling.
  • Test Utilities: New utility functions (CheckFileNotExist, CheckFileExist) were added to the testutil package to facilitate more robust file system assertions in tests.

Code Review

This pull request correctly fixes a bug where skaffold-overrides.yaml was deleted prematurely by moving the deferred file removal to the caller function. The addition of unit tests for the new generateSkaffoldOverrides function is a great improvement.

I've identified a few areas for improvement:

  • A minor simplification in the error handling and defer logic in helm.go.
  • A typo in a new test function name.
  • More importantly, the new test helper functions CheckFileExist and CheckFileNotExist in testutil/util.go have correctness issues in their error handling which could lead to incorrect test outcomes. I've provided suggestions to make them more robust.
