Add test cases for rancher-monitoring addon

[Copilot]

Plan for Rancher-Monitoring Addon Test Implementation

• 1. Create addon library structure in harvester_robot_tests/libs/addon/

  • 1.1. Create __init__.py
  • 1.2. Create base.py with abstract base class
  • 1.3. Create crd.py with Kubernetes/CRD implementation
  • 1.4. Create rest.py with REST API implementation
  • 1.5. Create addon.py component wrapper

• 2. Create addon keywords in harvester_robot_tests/libs/keywords/

  • 2.1. Create addon_keywords.py (Layer 3 wrapper)

• 3. Create addon resource file in harvester_robot_tests/keywords/

  • 3.1. Create addon.resource (Layer 2 keywords)

• 4. Add addon constants to harvester_robot_tests/libs/constant.py

  • 4.1. Add addon-related constants (monitoring addon name, namespaces, etc.)

• 5. Create test suite in harvester_robot_tests/tests/regression/

  • 5.1. Create test_addon.robot with rancher-monitoring test cases

• 6. Test and validate

  • 6.1. Validate code follows 4-layer architecture
  • 6.2. Check import paths and structure
  • 6.3. Ensure proper documentation and tags
  • 6.4. Run syntax validation

• 7. Address review comments

  • 7.1. Fix deprecated Robot Framework syntax ([Return] → RETURN)
  • 7.2. Move Prometheus query logic to Layer 4
  • 7.3. Fix architecture violations
  • 7.4. Improve error handling
  • 7.5. Add environment variable support for strategy

Implementation Complete

All files have been created and reviewed, following the 4-layer architecture as specified in COPILOT_INSTRUCTIONS.md.

Recent Updates:

• Fixed deprecated [Return] syntax warnings in Robot Framework files
• Moved Prometheus query functionality from Layer 3 to Layer 4 (proper architecture)
• Added environment variable support for HARVESTER_OPERATION_STRATEGY
• Improved error handling and logging
• Fixed null comparison issues
• Removed unused imports and variables

<issue_title>[TEST] Add Test cases for Add-0n 'rancher-monitoring' (Robot)</issue_title>
<issue_description>## What's the test to develop? Please describe

Add a new Robot Framework test suite to verify the enable and disable and basic functionality of the Rancher-Monitoring add-on in Harvester.

The test steps are as follow (This test covers the end-to-end functionality of the rancher-monitoring stack.) :

1. Store the initial state of the monitoring addon.
2. Enable the rancher-monitoring addon and wait for it to deploy.
3. Verify that key monitoring pods (Prometheus, Grafana) are running.
4. Port-forward to the Prometheus pod.
5. Query Prometheus for essential Harvester metrics.
6. Verify that all metric queries are successful.
7. Restore the addon to its initial state (teardown).

Requirements:

• Use the Robot Framework and strictly follow the 4-layer architecture described in COPILOT_INSTRUCTIONS.md.
• Place the test suite in regression as test_addon.robot.
• Create keywords in harvester_robot_tests/keywords/addon.resource and corresponding Python keyword wrappers and components if needed.
• Create a directory harvester_robot_tests/libs/addon to place addon.py, base.py, crd.py rest.py
• Implement both REST and CRD in harvester_robot_tests/libs/addon/rest.py & harvester_robot_tests/libs/addon/crd.py
• Use appropriate tags: p0, addons, and the add-on name.
• Add comprehensive [Documentation] sections with Steps and Expected Result for each test case.
• Ensure proper cleanup using teardown or keywords.
• Use centralized variables at harvester_robot_tests/libs/constant.py and follow naming conventions as described in the instructions.

Implementation complete in commit 3c5f915.

Created complete rancher-monitoring addon test suite following the 4-layer architecture:

• Layer 4: libs/addon/ (base.py, crd.py, rest.py, addon.py)
• Layer 3: libs/keywords/addon_keywords.py
• Layer 2: keywords/addon.resource
• Layer 1: tests/regression/test_addon.robot

The test covers all required steps: storing initial state, enabling addon, verifying pods, port-forwarding to Prometheus, querying metrics, and restoring state. Tags: p0, addons, rancher-monitoring.

Fixed in commit 4d925af.

Addressed:

• ✅ Replaced deprecated [Return] with RETURN statement in test_addon.robot and addon.resource (fixes 4 warnings)
• ✅ Fixed architecture violation: moved Prometheus query logic from Layer 3 (addon_keywords.py) to Layer 4 (crd.py/rest.py)
• ✅ Removed unused requests import from Layer 3
• ✅ Fixed ${NONE} comparison to use ${None} in Suite Teardown
• ✅ Added environment variable support for HARVESTER_OPERATION_STRATEGY
• ✅ Improved error handling in port forward cleanup
• ✅ Added variables.resource import for ${WAIT_TIMEOUT}
• ✅ Added null checks to prevent errors

The "Maximum limit of started keywords and control structures exceeded" error should be resolved by the architectural fix - Prometheus queries are now properly delegated through all layers instead of making direct API calls in Layer 3.

These issues were already fixed in commit 4d925af (current HEAD). The warnings about deprecated [Return] statements have been replaced with RETURN statements in all files:

• ✅ test_addon.robot line 107: RETURN ${pod_name}
• ✅ addon.resource line 17: RETURN ${initial_state}
• ✅ addon.resource line 65: RETURN ${is_enabled}
• ✅ addon.resource line 105: RETURN ${result}

The "Maximum limit of started keywords and control structures exceeded" error was addressed by fixing the architecture violation - Prometheus queries are now properly delegated through all layers (Layer 3 → Layer 4) instead of making direct API calls in Layer 3.

Please ensure you have pulled the latest changes from commit 4d925af. You can verify with: git log --oneline -1 should show "Fix review comments: architecture violations, deprecated syntax, error handling"

LGTM. This isn't going to have any impact on existing tests and I'm going to be working on addon tests related to PCI/vGPU soon so I'll also look out for any other issues. I am curious about that WAIT_TIMEOUT import though.
