| 68 | + |
| 69 | +## Usage Examples Based on Real Controllers |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | +The tests are modeled after actual usage patterns found in the codebase: |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | +### DesignateProducer Pattern |
| 74 | +```go |
| 75 | +watchFields := []string{ |
| 76 | + ".spec.secret", |
| 77 | + ".spec.tls.caBundleSecretName", |
| 78 | + ".spec.topologyRef.Name", |
| 79 | +} |
| 80 | +``` |
| 81 | +*Used in*: `designateproducer_controller.go`, `designatecentral_controller.go`, `designateworker_controller.go`, `designatemdns_controller.go` |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | +### DesignateAPI Pattern |
| 84 | +```go |
| 85 | +watchFields := []string{ |
| 86 | + ".spec.secret", |
| 87 | + ".spec.tls.api.internal.secretName", |
| 88 | + ".spec.tls.api.public.secretName", |
| 89 | + ".spec.tls.caBundleSecretName", |
| 90 | + ".spec.topologyRef.Name", |
| 91 | +} |
| 92 | +``` |
| 93 | +*Used in*: `designateapi_controller.go` |
| 94 | + |
| 95 | +### DesignateUnbound Pattern |
| 96 | +```go |
| 97 | +watchFields := []string{ |
| 98 | + ".spec.secret", |
| 99 | + ".spec.tls.caBundleSecretName", |
| 100 | + ".spec.topologyRef.Name", |
| 101 | +} |
| 102 | +``` |
| 103 | +*Used in*: `designateunbound_controller.go`, `designatebackendbind9_controller.go` |
| 104 | + |
| 105 | +## Test Implementation Approach |
| 106 | + |
| 107 | +### Mock Strategy |
| 108 | +Tests use mock implementations of `ObjectListFunc`: |
| 109 | +```go |
| 110 | +mockListFunc := func(ctx context.Context, cl client.Client, field string, |
| 111 | + src client.Object, log *logr.Logger) ([]metav1.ObjectMeta, error) { |
| 112 | + switch field { |
| 113 | + case ".spec.secret": |
| 114 | + return []metav1.ObjectMeta{{Name: "obj1", Namespace: "ns1"}}, nil |
| 115 | + case ".spec.tls.caBundleSecretName": |
| 116 | + return []metav1.ObjectMeta{{Name: "obj2", Namespace: "ns2"}}, nil |
| 117 | + } |
| 118 | + return []metav1.ObjectMeta{}, nil |
| 119 | +} |
| 120 | +``` |
| 121 | + |
| 122 | +### No External Dependencies |
| 123 | +The tests are completely self-contained and do not require: |
| 124 | +- Kubernetes cluster |
| 125 | +- etcd |
| 126 | +- kubebuilder test environment |
| 127 | +- Actual CRD installations |
| 128 | +- Real Kubernetes API calls |
| 129 | + |
| 130 | +This makes them fast, reliable, and easy to run in any environment. |
| 131 | + |
| 132 | +## Running the Tests |
| 133 | + |
| 134 | +### Basic Test Run |
