Summary

Fixes DPTP-5143: the pipeline controller re-triggers protected second-stage tests when /lgtm is applied after /pipeline required has already triggered them at the same HEAD.

Root Cause

In sendCommentWithMode(), /test commands for protected presubmits are generated unconditionally — without checking if ProwJobs for those tests already exist at the current SHA. The deduplication logic in acquireConditionalContexts() only covers pipelineConditionallyRequired tests, not protected tests.

Fix

  • Extract a shared prowJobExistsForSHA() helper that lists ProwJobs by label selector (org, repo, pull, type=presubmit, job_name) and checks if any match the current HEAD SHA.
  • Refactor acquireConditionalContexts() to use the shared helper (unchanged behavior).
  • In sendCommentWithMode(), before generating /test commands for protected presubmits, call prowJobExistsForSHA() for each one. Skip the /test command if a ProwJob already exists at the same SHA.
  • When ALL tests (both protected and conditional) already exist and isExplicitCommand is false, return an informational message instead of posting an empty comment.
  • The isExplicitCommand bypass is preserved — /pipeline required always triggers tests unconditionally.

Test Coverage

14 tests across 3 test functions:

  • TestSendCommentWithMode_ProtectedDedup (6 cases): no existing PJs; protected PJ at same SHA skipped; all PJs exist → no comment; explicit command bypasses dedup; PJ at different SHA → triggers; conditional PJ skipped while protected triggered.
  • TestProwJobExistsForSHA (4 cases): no PJs; matching SHA; different SHA; different job name.
  • TestAcquireConditionalContexts (3 cases): no existing PJs; one exists; all exist.
  • TestSendCommentWithMode_NoRefs (1 case): error handling for missing refs.

AI-generated. Review for accuracy.

Summary

The pipeline controller now prevents duplicate protected second-stage tests when /lgtm follows /pipeline required at the same HEAD SHA.

The controller:

  • Matches existing presubmit ProwJobs by pull request and HEAD SHA.
  • Deduplicates protected and conditional presubmits.
  • Preserves explicit /pipeline required retriggers.
  • Reports when all required tests already exist.
  • Validates missing pull request references.
  • Handles ProwJob listing and GitHub comment errors.

The change includes 14 test cases for deduplication, SHA matching, conditional presubmits, explicit commands, and missing references.

Pipeline controller notification
This repo is configured to use the pipeline controller. Second-stage tests will be triggered either automatically or after lgtm label is added, depending on the repository configuration. The pipeline controller will automatically detect which contexts are required and will utilize /test Prow commands to trigger the second stage.

For optional jobs, comment /test ? to see a list of all defined jobs. To trigger manually all jobs from second stage use /pipeline required command.

This repository is configured in: automatic mode

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Added pipeline-controller helpers for test command generation, ProwJob deduplication, GitHub comments, and error handling. Added unit tests and a placeholder executable entry point.

Changes

Pipeline controller

Layer / File(s) Summary
Comment orchestration and controller entry point
cmd/pipeline-controller/helpers.go, cmd/pipeline-controller/main.go
Defines client interfaces and adds pull-request validation, test command generation, trigger handling, GitHub comments, status reporting, and a placeholder executable.
Conditional ProwJob deduplication
cmd/pipeline-controller/helpers.go
Checks ProwJobs by namespace, labels, pull request identity, job name, and HEAD SHA. Returns listing errors and skip information.
Helper behavior validation
cmd/pipeline-controller/helpers_test.go
Tests command generation, explicit commands, ProwJob matching, conditional acquisition, informational messages, and missing pull-request references.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to f79d4

The change prevents repeated protected tests in normal sequential flows, but concurrent requests can still create duplicate /test commands and duplicate test runs, and invalid ProwJob input may cause a controller panic. These bounded correctness issues should be fixed before merging.

Wire the controller into the executable.

main exits without creating a controller-runtime manager or registering event handlers. The new helper flow is never invoked, so this binary cannot prevent duplicate pipeline tests in production.

The pipeline controller re-triggers second-stage protected tests when
/lgtm is applied after /pipeline required has already triggered them at
the same HEAD SHA. This causes unnecessary duplicate ProwJobs.

Add a ProwJob existence check for protected presubmits in
sendCommentWithMode, following the same label-based lookup pattern
already used by acquireConditionalContexts for conditionally-required
tests. When a protected ProwJob already exists at the current HEAD SHA,
skip generating the /test command for it. Explicit /pipeline required
commands bypass this dedup to allow intentional re-triggers.

When isExplicitCommand is true (triggered via /pipeline required),
skip acquireConditionalContexts entirely and generate /test commands
directly for all conditional presubmits. This ensures explicit
commands bypass deduplication for both protected and conditional
presubmits, not just protected ones.

Update tests to verify that explicit commands trigger conditional
tests even when ProwJobs already exist at the same SHA.

🌐 Web query:

Prow GitHub /test comment command creates a ProwJob asynchronously prow-controller

💡 Result:

When a user posts a /test comment on a GitHub pull request, Prow processes this interaction through several components in an asynchronous manner, but the prow-controller-manager is not the component that interprets the command [1][2]. The flow operates as follows: 1. GitHub sends the comment event to Prow's Hook component via a webhook [1][2]. 2. Hook translates the webhook payload into a generic event and delivers it to the appropriate plugin—in this case, the Trigger plugin [1][2]. 3. The Trigger plugin performs the logic of parsing the /test command, validating the user's permissions, and determining which jobs should be run [1][2]. 4. If valid, the Trigger plugin directly communicates with the Kubernetes API server to create the ProwJob custom resource [1][2][3]. 5. The prow-controller-manager then observes the creation of this new ProwJob object, identifies that it needs to be executed, and subsequently creates the corresponding Kubernetes pod to run the actual test [1][2][3]. Therefore, the prow-controller-manager does not create the ProwJob in response to the comment; rather, it acts on the ProwJob resource after it has been created by the Trigger plugin [1][2].
