ROX-34722: Add periodic Konflux retest - #104
Conversation
📝 WalkthroughSummary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughThe pull request replaces event-driven Konflux retesting with a reusable workflow that periodically scans eligible open pull requests, filters failed checks, cleans obsolete comments, and posts retest comments within configurable limits. ChangesKonflux retesting
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to The periodic workflow can miss eligible pull requests, exceed retry limits, act on stale commits, and behave incorrectly for non-integer inputs. These concrete automation and correctness risks mean the PR is not merge-ready until the workflow adds serialization, pagination, head revalidation, and strict input validation.

🌐 Web query:
Does GitHub Actions workflow_callinput typenumberaccept decimal values, and how is its value exposed through theinputs context?
💡 Result:
Yes, the GitHub Actions workflow_call input type 'number' accepts decimal (floating-point) values [1]. When you define an input with type 'number' in your on.workflow_call configuration, it is designed to handle both integers and floating-point numbers (e.g., 10, 3.14, -5) [1]. The value is exposed and accessed within the called workflow through the inputs context using the syntax ${{ inputs.input_id }} [1][2]. Key technical considerations include: - Strict Typing: workflow_call inputs are strictly typed [3]. When passing values from a caller workflow using the with keyword, it is recommended to pass the value as a literal number (e.g., retries: 3) rather than a quoted string to ensure it is treated correctly as a number [3]. - Expression Coercion: If the value you are passing comes from an expression (which typically yields a string), you should use the fromJSON function to explicitly convert the result into a numeric type before passing it, ensuring compatibility with the 'number' type definition [3]. - Default Values: If no value is provided and no default is specified in the workflow_call definition, the default value for an input of type 'number' is 0 [4][5].

Validate numeric inputs as integers.
workflow_call inputs with type: number accept decimal values. A decimal MAX_RETRIES makes the Bash comparison fail and selects the retry branch, which can post a comment on every scan. A decimal KONFLUX_APP_ID is invalid for the GraphQL Int! variable.
Reject negative and non-integer values before the query and retry logic.

Serialize retest scans for each repository.
Two overlapping runs can read the same RETRY_COUNT and both post a retest comment. This exceeds the effective retry limit even though Konflux ignores duplicate commands while a pipeline runs.
Add a repository-scoped concurrency group with cancel-in-progress: false.

This is legitimate. Instead of per job concurrency control, you could consider a workflow-level concurrency setting (not sure if this works in this re-usable workflow)

@tommartensen, workflow-level concurrency works in a reusable workflow.
The called workflow receives the caller’s github context. Therefore, github.repository scopes the group to the repository that invokes this workflow.
For this single-job workflow, workflow-level concurrency is preferable. It prevents a duplicate scan from starting a runner.
concurrency:
group: periodic-retest-konflux-${{ github.repository }}
cancel-in-progress: false

periodic-retest-failed-konflux-builds:
runs-on: ubuntu-latestcancel-in-progress: false preserves an active retest scan. GitHub can still replace a pending run in the same group with a newer pending run.

Paginate every GraphQL connection that affects eligibility.
This query only scans the first 100 matching PRs. It also truncates each PR at 10 Konflux check suites and 50 failed check runs. The workflow silently omits later results because it does not retrieve pageInfo.
Add cursor pagination, or define and document an explicit supported limit. The current implementation does not meet the stated all-open-PR scan behavior.

Revalidate the PR head before changing retest comments.
The query snapshot can become stale before this loop reaches a PR. If a new commit arrives, this run can post a retest command for a failed check from the previous commit. That new comment can then count against the new commit retry budget.
Query the head SHA and verify it is still current before deleting, counting, or posting comments.

Added a few comments to the Coderabbit ones.
I think the pagination is a valid concern, the rest are minor things.

Just from looking at this: What about create-custom-snapshot and checks? Are you suggesting to filter them out?

While it is true tha our Konflux App is called "Red Hat Konflux", not all of them are: For example, I recently used a staging Konflux cluster, where the GH app name was "Konflux Staging": https://github.com/st3penta/golden-container/runs/90574648533
Can we expose this as a workflow parameter, next to the app ID?
Or use GH API to find the name from the app ID?

I'm guessing you're suggesting to keep the suffix empty for our workflows?

It's an alternative workflow to
retest-konflux-builds.yml. The periodic version uses a single GraphQL query to efficiently fetch all open PRs with failures, avoiding per-PR API calls.Note:⚠️ An existing
retest-konflux-builds.ymlwill be removed in the separate PR after migrating all repos to the periodic workflowTesting
Tested on different pero on this PR https://github.com/stackrox/test-konflux-repo/pull/5
