Follow-up to #2343, as discussed there.

#2343 checks inline contents against compression: gzip. Contents from local and from trees are only read during translation, so they were not checked: a plain local file with compression: gzip still transpiles cleanly and fails at first boot with gzip: invalid header.

They are now checked in translation, right after the file is read: in translateResource for local, and in walkTree for tree files, which get their compression from a storage.files entry for the same path. The mismatch is reported with AddOnError and translation continues, for the same reason the inline check lives in Resource.Validate: returning an error would hide the other diagnostics.

I mentioned the tree case on #2343 and kept it in this PR; I can split it out if you'd prefer.

This applies to the same base specs as #2343. base/v0_1 has no local or trees, so it is unaffected. The release note for #2343 now covers local and tree contents too.

Tested:

  • New cases in TestTranslateFile (a gzipped local file passes, a plain one with compression: gzip is reported) and TestTranslateTree (a plain tree file that gets compression: gzip from storage.files is reported), for each spec.
  • go test ./butane/... passes.
  • The Butane CLI, on a config with a plain local file, a gzipped local file and a plain tree file, all with compression: gzip: both plain files are reported in the same run, and the gzipped one is accepted.

Walkthrough

Butane now reports compression-format errors for local resource contents and files loaded from storage trees across base versions v0_2 through v0_8_exp. The checks continue translation, and tests cover valid gzip data and mismatches.

Changes: Compression validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Local resource compression validation
butane/base/v0_*/translate.go, butane/base/v0_*/translate_test.go
Local resource contents are checked against the declared compression format. Mismatches add an error at the local-resource path without stopping translation. Tests cover gzip data and uncompressed data declared as gzip.
Storage-tree compression validation
butane/base/v0_*/translate.go, butane/base/v0_*/translate_test.go, docs/release-notes.d/butane-local-tree-gzip-validation.bugfix.md
Tree files are checked against the matching storage-file compression setting. Mismatches add an error at the contents-compression path. Tests cover this case, and the release note describes the validation.

Commit Message Convention Passed The PR contains one non-merge commit: butane: check local and tree file compression. It uses the butane subsystem, has a lowercase imperative description (check), and has no trailing period.
Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title "butane: check local and tree file compression" names the subsystem and describes the main change: translation-time checks for compression on local and tree files. It uses lowercase after the colon and has no trailing period. The title format requirement asks for imperative mood, and "check" is imperative, so the title meets the format rules.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description explains the change. It says local files and tree files with compression: gzip were not checked, and it describes the new checks in translateResource and walkTree, the AddOnError reporting, and the tests run. It also covers the related #2343 follow-up and the release note. It is specific and matches the changeset.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

Docstring coverage is 66.67% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff with cyclomatic complexity of at least 2. Documentation-only edits and deletions within surviving functions are included; unchanged diff context and fully deleted functions are excluded. Analyzed 21 functions across 14 files. (1 skipped: 1 unsupported.)

Resolution

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

Learning: In coreos/ignition's Go Butane resource pipeline, Resource.Validate runs before local files are read, so local contents are unavailable there. Returning a validation error from MakeDataURL through the translation path aborts translation and suppresses other diagnostics. Validation of local contents must use a mechanism that preserves diagnostic aggregation; do not recommend moving inline gzip validation into MakeDataURL without accounting for this behavior.

@angelcerveraroldan the tmt-tests failure looks unrelated to this change: the smoke test passes, and the job then fails in tmt's cleanup when stopping the podman container (podman container stop returns 125). Both runs here landed on the ubuntu-26.04 runner image. On my fork, the same job passes on ubuntu-24.04 for both main and this branch, and fails the same way for unmodified main with runs-on: ubuntu-26.04.

The changes look good, I just have one small nit:

$ ./ignition/bin/butane --pretty --strict -d . tree-test.bu 

error[$.storage.trees.0]:
  --> tree-test.bu:5:7
   |
 3 | storage:
 4 |   trees:
 5 |     - local: tree
   |       ^^^^^^ contents are not gzip-compressed but compression is set to gzip
 6 |       path: /etc/trees
 7 |   files:
   |
Error translating config: source config is invalid

The error message could be a little more informative, right now it just tells us that some file is wrong, but not which one.

We could leave it as is, or we could make it so that for trees, the error is reported under storage.files rather than storage.trees, this way the error would point to the exact file that has the issue. What do you think ?

Good idea, done. A tree file can only get compression from a storage.files entry for its path, so the error now points at that entry:

error[$.storage.files.1.contents.compression]:
  --> t.bu:13:22
 11 |     - path: /etc/trees/b
 12 |       contents:
 13 |         compression: gzip
    |                      ^^^^ contents are not gzip-compressed but compression is set to gzip

@w453y We have changed the way that we handle release notes, see the new way here.

The reason for this change is that we were seeing a lot of conflicts due to many PRs editing the same release notes file. Would you be able to rebase and make a new file in release-notes.d ?

Other than this, the changes look good to me!

Since coreos#2343, Butane reports inline contents that are not gzip-compressed
although `compression: gzip` is set. Contents from `local` and from
`trees` are not checked, so such a config still translates cleanly and
fails at first boot.

Their contents are only read during translation, so check them there,
after the file is read. Report the mismatch and continue instead of
returning, so the other translation diagnostics are still reported. A
tree file gets its compression from a storage.files entry for the same
path, and the mismatch is reported at that entry's `compression` field.
