Changes

There may be use cases when a Task should initiate a PipelineRun or TaskRun.
It can be beneficial to use the same PVC in the PipelineRun or TaskRun
that is initiated, e.g. populated with cached data or a cloned git repository.

When using a workspace with a PersistentVolumeClaim as volume source, the name
of the PVC is known, and can be set in the new PipelineRun or
TaskRun. But when a VolumeClaimTemplate is used as a volume source, the name
is generated. In such use cases, it is useful to be able to "look up" the PVC
name using variable substitution.

This commit introduces $(workspaces.ws-name.claim) so that it is possible to get the PVC name. This is similar to how it is possible to get the volume name with $(workspaces.ws-name.volume)

Fixes #2505

Release Notes

New substitution variable for PersistentVolumeClaim name.

There may be use cases when a Task should initiate a PipelineRun or TaskRun.
It can be beneficial to use the **same PVC** in the PipelineRun or TaskRun
that is initiated, e.g. populated with cached data or a cloned git repository.

When using a workspace with a PersistentVolumeClaim as volume source, the name
of the PVC is known, and can be passed as a _param_ in the PipelineRun or
TaskRun. But when a VolumeClaimTemplate is used as a volume source, the name
is generated. In such use cases, it is useful to be able to "look up" the PVC
name using variable substitution.

Hi @jlpettersson. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a tektoncd member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work. Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

Instructions for interacting with me using PR comments are available here. If you have questions or suggestions related to my behavior, please file an issue against the kubernetes/test-infra repository.

jlpettersson added a commit to jlpettersson/pipeline that referenced this pull request May 1, 2020
The access mode configured for a PVC that is used as a workspace volume source
may affect how a pipeline is executed, this is not well documented. This commit
intend to improve the documentation about this and also provide an example
on how to run parallel tasks when using PVC with ReadWriteOnce access mode.

- Document how access mode affect task ordering in pipeline under "Specifying Workspace order in a Pipeline"
- Provide a full pipeline example of how to use parallel tasks when using a PVC with access mode ReadWriteOnce
- We we did provide a "PipelineRun example" under "Example PipelineRun definitions using Workspaces".
  This commit provide a full PipelineRun example using a workspace. Instead of providing examples of
  different volume sources here, examples on how to use different VolumeSources is moved to
  "Specifying VolumeSources in Workspaces"
- The VolumeSources persistentVolumeClaim and volumeClaimTemplate both is a PVC, and PVCs has its own
  peculiarities, e.g. access mode that we document. Both PVC volume sources is moved to a section
  so we can document the common peculiarities in a single place
- Add the workspace variable introduced in tektoncd#2506

Jonas has recently become a regularly contributor. He started with adding a minor [_missing_ `omitempty`](tektoncd/pipeline#2301) and then [proposed some ideas](tektoncd/pipeline#1986 (comment)) around workspaces and PersistentVolumeClaim creation and continued to [elaborate around those ideas](tektoncd/pipeline#1986 (comment)). A sunny day a few days later, he also submitted an [extensive implementation for volumeClaimTemplate](tektoncd/pipeline#2326), corresponding to the idea discussions.

A few days later submitted a [small refactoring PR](tektoncd/pipeline#2392), and he also listened to community members that [proposed changes](tektoncd/pipeline#2450) to his implementation about volumeClaimTemplates and did an [implementation for that proposal](tektoncd/pipeline#2453).

A rainy day, he also wrote [technical documentation about PVCs](tektoncd/pipeline#2521) including adding an example that caused _flaky_ integration tests for the whole community during multiple days. When he understood his mistake, he submitted a [removal of the example](tektoncd/pipeline#2546) that caused flaky tests.

He has also put his toe into Tekton Catalog and [contributed to the buildah task](tektoncd/pipeline#2546).

This has followed, mostly with more PRs to the Pipeline project:

- tektoncd/pipeline#2460
- tektoncd/pipeline#2491
- tektoncd/pipeline#2502
- tektoncd/pipeline#2506
- tektoncd/pipeline#2632
- tektoncd/pipeline#2633
- tektoncd/pipeline#2634
- tektoncd/pipeline#2636
- tektoncd/pipeline#2601
- tektoncd/pipeline#2630

Jonas is excited about the great community around Tekton and the project! He now would like to join the org.
