Migrating Tekton Task Bundles: Common_mce_2.6.yaml Update

Sep 13, 2025 by Square 58 views

Hey guys! It looks like some Tekton task bundles need your attention! Our automated system detected that a version update is required for certain task bundles in common_mce_2.6.yaml. Let's dive into the details and get this sorted out.

Tekton Task Bundle Migration Required

The automated Tekton task bundle update process has flagged that 1 task bundle requires migration to a newer version in common_mce_2.6.yaml. To prevent any potential hiccups, the automated process has been paused, and your manual intervention is needed. Think of it as a safety net ensuring nothing breaks during the update.

Understanding Tekton Task Bundles

Before we go any further, let's clarify what Tekton Task Bundles actually are. Essentially, Tekton Task Bundles are pre-packaged sets of instructions and configurations that define a specific task to be executed within a Tekton pipeline. Tekton is a powerful open-source framework for creating CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery) systems. These bundles promote reusability, consistency, and simplify pipeline definitions. Imagine them as reusable building blocks for your CI/CD processes.

When these bundles need updating, it's crucial to manage the changes carefully to ensure compatibility and stability. This guide walks you through the necessary steps to migrate your task bundles safely. Ignoring these updates could potentially lead to compatibility issues, failed pipeline executions, or even security vulnerabilities. Regular updates ensure you're leveraging the latest improvements and security patches.

Why manual intervention, you ask? Well, automated processes can sometimes miss subtle breaking changes or configuration adjustments that require a human touch. By manually reviewing and updating the task bundles, you retain full control over the update process, minimizing the risk of unexpected issues. Plus, it allows you to learn about the changes being introduced and adapt your pipelines accordingly.

Migration Details:

Here’s the bundle that needs your attention:

quay.io/konflux-ci/tekton-catalog/task-clair-scan: 0.2 → 0.3
- Link: https://github.com/konflux-ci/build-definitions/tree/main/task/clair-scan
- Package File: pipelines/common_mce_2.6.yaml

This means the task-clair-scan task bundle, currently at version 0.2, needs to be updated to version 0.3. Click the provided link to check out the specific changes in the build-definitions repository. Knowing exactly what's changed between versions is super important before you update. Always review the changelog or commit history to understand the implications of the update.

The package file pipelines/common_mce_2.6.yaml indicates where this task bundle is being used within your configurations. Make a note of this location, as you'll need to modify this file to reflect the updated version. Being organized will help you keep track of the changes you're making. The link to the GitHub repository provides additional context, allowing you to examine the modifications in detail and understand the rationale behind them.

Action Required:

Okay, it’s action time! Please review the migration details provided above and manually update the task bundles. We've halted the automated update process because we don't want to introduce any breaking changes without you knowing about them first. Your careful review and update are essential to maintain stability.

Reviewing the Changes

Take a close look at the changes between version 0.2 and 0.3 of the task-clair-scan task bundle. Pay special attention to any modifications in input parameters, output formats, or dependencies. Understanding these changes will help you anticipate any potential issues in your pipelines. Check for deprecated features or significant changes in functionality. These can often be the source of compatibility problems if not addressed properly.

Testing in a Development Environment

Before you roll out the changes to your production environment, it's strongly recommended to test the new version in a development or staging environment. This allows you to identify and resolve any compatibility issues or unexpected behavior without affecting your live systems. Deploy the updated task bundle to a non-production environment and run your pipelines to ensure everything functions as expected.

Manual Update

Once you’re confident that the new version is working correctly, manually update the task bundle references in your pipelines/common_mce_2.6.yaml file. This involves changing the version number or tag associated with the task-clair-scan task bundle. Ensure that you update the correct reference and double-check your changes before committing them. Consider using a version control system like Git to manage your changes, allowing you to easily revert to a previous state if necessary.

Migration Data (JSON):

    "packageFile": "pipelines/common_mce_2.6.yaml",
    "parentDir": ".",
    "depTypes": [
      "tekton-bundle"
    ]
  }
]

This JSON block provides all the nitty-gritty details you need for the migration. It includes the dependency name (depName), the link to the source code (link), the current and new values (currentValue, newValue), and the digests (currentDigest, newDigest) for verification. The packageFile field tells you exactly where to make the changes. This data is your friend – use it wisely!

Breaking Down the JSON

Let's break down each of these fields so you know exactly what you're looking at:

depName: This is the full name of the Tekton task bundle. It tells you exactly which bundle needs to be updated.
link: Clicking this URL will take you directly to the source code of the task, so you can review any changes.
currentValue: This is the version number currently used in your common_mce_2.6.yaml file.
currentDigest: This is a unique identifier for the current version of the bundle. It can be used for extra verification.
newValue: This is the version number you need to update to.
newDigest: This is the unique identifier for the new version of the bundle.
packageFile: This tells you which file needs to be modified.
parentDir: Specifies the parent directory where the package file is located.
depTypes: Indicates the type of dependency, in this case, a tekton-bundle.

Next Steps:

Here’s a quick recap of what you need to do:

Review the changes required for the task-clair-scan task bundle.
Test the new version (0.3) in a development environment. This is a must to avoid surprises in production!
Manually update the task bundle references in your pipelines/common_mce_2.6.yaml file.
Close this issue once the migration is complete. This helps us keep track of what's been done.

Wrapping Up the Migration

Once you've updated the task bundle references, tested the changes, and verified that everything is working as expected, you're all set. Remember to thoroughly test your pipelines after the update to ensure that everything continues to function correctly. Keep an eye out for any unexpected behavior or error messages. If you encounter any issues, consult the documentation or seek assistance from the community.

By following these steps, you can ensure a smooth and successful migration of your Tekton task bundles. Keeping your bundles up-to-date is crucial for maintaining the stability, security, and performance of your CI/CD pipelines. Your diligence in this process helps ensure that your systems continue to operate reliably and efficiently.
