feat(commands): improve rotate-ca with validation and better help #103
Conversation
Add validation to ensure rotate-ca command receives exactly one control-plane node. The command coordinates CA rotation across the entire cluster from a single node, so multiple endpoints/nodes would cause confusing errors. - Add rotate_ca_handler.go with PreRunE validation - Update command description with detailed usage explanation - Add examples showing common use cases - Provide clear error message when multiple nodes specified Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Andrei Kvapil <[email protected]>
- Remove unused code: readFirstLine, kubernetesFlag, pathAutoCompleteLimit - Remove entirely unused track.go file - Replace deprecated io/ioutil with os package - Fix unchecked error returns for Close() methods - Fix ineffectual assignments in init.go - Remove empty branches in age.go Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Andrei Kvapil <[email protected]>

Code Review
This pull request introduces valuable improvements to the rotate-ca command by adding input validation and more descriptive help text. Additionally, it addresses numerous golangci-lint issues throughout the codebase, enhancing overall code quality by removing unused code, fixing unchecked errors, and replacing deprecated packages. While the changes are largely positive, I've identified a flaw in the new validation logic for the rotate-ca command that could allow multiple nodes to be specified, contrary to the command's requirements. A suggestion to correct this has been provided.

pkg/commands/rotate_ca_handler.go (1)
73-80: Consider validating that at least one node/endpoint is provided.The validation correctly prevents multiple nodes/endpoints, but doesn't verify that at least one is specified. If a user runs
talm rotate-cawithout-eor-n, the validation passes, potentially leading to a less helpful error downstream.Additionally, consider whether having both
len(Endpoints)==1ANDlen(Nodes)==1simultaneously should be validated, as this could represent conflicting or redundant configuration.💡 Optional enhancement for stricter validation

Propagate decryption errors instead of ignoring them.
handleTalosconfigEncryption(false) already returns nil when the key is missing and decryption should be skipped. Ignoring all errors can hide corruption/invalid key issues and leave talosconfig.encrypted stale while a new plaintext is generated.
🛠️ Proposed fix
- // If decryption fails (e.g., no key), continue to generate
- _, _ = handleTalosconfigEncryption(false)
+ // If decryption fails for any reason other than missing key, return the error
+ if _, err := handleTalosconfigEncryption(false); err != nil {
+ return err

Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

🌐 Web query:
spf13/cobra pflag FlagSet.Set() error handling missing flags
💡 Result:
(*pflag.FlagSet).Set(name, value) does return an error when the flag doesn’t exist in that FlagSet; the concrete type is *pflag.NotExistError (“error returned when trying to access a flag that does not exist in the FlagSet”).[1][2]
Practical handling pattern
fs := cmd.Flags() // in Cobra: local + persistent from parents
if fs.Lookup("my-flag") == nil {
// flag not registered on this command (or its parents)
return nil // or return a custom error
}
if err := fs.Set("my-flag", "123"); err != nil {
var ne *pflag.NotExistError
if errors.As(err, &ne) {
// handle missing flag explicitly
return nil
}
return err // invalid value, etc.
}Cobra-specific “missing flag” gotcha
If you call Set() on the wrong flag set, you’ll get “flag accessed but not defined” even though you defined it elsewhere (e.g., as a persistent flag on a parent). In Cobra, cmd.Flags() is the combined set (“local and persistent declared here and by all parents”), so it’s usually the right one to use when setting/reading flags during execution.[3]

Check flag existence before calling Set() and handle errors.
Silently ignoring Set() errors masks failures: the flag might not exist, or Set() could fail for invalid values or type mismatches. Use the idiomatic pflag pattern—check with Lookup() first, then handle errors from Set().

- // Flag might not exist, ignore error
- _ = cmd.Flags().Set("force", "true")
+ if cmd.Flags().Lookup("force") != nil {
+ if err := cmd.Flags().Set("force", "true"); err != nil {
