TL;DR

Add live Helm-backed function lifecycles to the single-cluster and multi-cluster self-managed BDD suites so ReVal chart-rendering failures are observed through the public API.

Additional Details

Why

The BDD suite installed ReVal and exercised container-backed HTTP, gRPC, and LLM functions, but no scenario supplied helmChart. A healthy ReVal pod was therefore enough for the stack checks even when every authenticated render request failed.

Several layers missed the regression for different reasons:

  • Helm lint and template checks validated Kubernetes and YAML syntax, not whether embedded config.yaml keys matched the ReVal runtime schema.
  • ReVal unit tests used application-native configuration rather than the deployed chart output.
  • BDD function scenarios used only container images, so NVCA never called ReVal to render a workload chart.
  • BDD wiring tests use a fake command runner. They prove step registration and command construction, not live service behavior.
  • Live BDD entry points are skipped by go test -short and are not run by the public premerge workflow.

The focused chart contract test merged in #1862 now protects the configuration shape during premerge validation. This PR adds the missing live product behavior coverage.

What changed

  • Add single-cluster and multi-cluster Helmfile scenarios that create Helm-backed functions through nvcf-cli.
  • In the multi-cluster case, render on the control plane and deploy to the separate ncp-local-compute-1 backend.
  • Wait for each deployment, invoke /echo, assert the response, and remove the deployment.
  • Require the chart reference through SAMPLE_HELM_FUNCTION_CHART so the features do not hard-code a released artifact version.
  • Verify the chart reference, service contract, deployment, and invocation commands in the short wiring tests.
  • Document the sample chart contract and both live-run prerequisites.

Customer Release Notes

Not customer visible.

Plan Summary

Not applicable.

Usage

Set SAMPLE_HELM_FUNCTION_CHART to a chart that ReVal can fetch without credentials. The chart must expose an entrypoint Service on port 8000, answer /health, and echo request messages from /echo.

Testing

Passed:

  • cd tests/bdd && go test -short ./...
  • tests/bdd/scripts/lint.sh
  • ./tools/ci/check-docs
  • git diff --check

The live scenarios were not run locally because they require registry credentials, a published sample chart, and disposable k3d environments. QA should run the live commands described below.

Notes

No architecture diagram update is needed. The tests cover the existing function creation, ReVal rendering, NVCA deployment, and invocation flow in both supported Helmfile topologies.

Issue #1871 tracks replacing the raw Helm function-create commands with a table-backed BDD step.

Dependencies

None. No license review or NOTICE update is required.

For the Reviewer

Please verify that the scenarios remain outside-in: all product actions use nvcf-cli, and the assertions check invocation responses instead of internal Kubernetes or service state.

For QA

QA is required. Provide a compatible public chart and run each topology independently:

cd tests/bdd
NGC_API_KEY=<key> SAMPLE_NGC_ORG=<org> SAMPLE_NGC_TEAM=<team> \
  SAMPLE_HELM_FUNCTION_CHART=<chart-url-or-oci-reference> \
  go test -run '^TestSingleClusterHelmfile$' -timeout 90m -v

NGC_API_KEY=<key> SAMPLE_NGC_ORG=<org> SAMPLE_NGC_TEAM=<team> \
  SAMPLE_HELM_FUNCTION_CHART=<chart-url-or-oci-reference> \
  go test -run '^TestMultiClusterHelmfile$' -timeout 90m -v

Each Helm function scenario must fail when ReVal rejects the render request and pass only after the deployment becomes invokable.

Closes #1863

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Documentation

    • Documented Helm chart requirements for single- and multi-cluster Helmfile tests, including public access, service, health, and echo behavior.
    • Updated live-run commands to accept the sample chart reference.
  • Tests

    • Added single- and multi-cluster coverage for creating, deploying, invoking, and undeploying functions from Helm charts.
    • Expanded validation of Helm-based function commands, HTTP responses, deployment counts, and cleanup operations.

Exercise the ReVal chart-rendering boundary through a live Helm-backed function lifecycle. Document the public sample chart contract and verify the feature wiring passes the chart reference to nvcf-cli.

The Helm lifecycle scenarios retain the required health configuration, but the short wiring tests do not protect it in either cluster mode. Add those assertions to prevent silent regressions.

Explanation

Issue #1863 requires live single- and multi-cluster Helm lifecycles and short wiring coverage for the chart and service contract. Both feature scenarios pass SAMPLE_HELM_FUNCTION_CHART, select the entrypoint service, pass /echo on port 8000, pass /health on port 8000, deploy, invoke, and undeploy. The multi-cluster scenario deploys to ncp-local-compute-1. However, both wiring tests assert the chart, entrypoint, and /echo --inference-port 8000 only. They do not assert --health-uri /health --health-port 8000. The wiring tests can therefore pass when the health contract is missing.

573-577: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

The single-cluster feature configures the required /health endpoint, but this wiring assertion only checks the chart, entrypoint service, and inference flags. Removing or changing --health-uri /health --health-port 8000 --health-timeout PT30S would still pass this test, leaving that part of the chart service contract unprotected. Include all three options in commandRanThatContainsAll.
