TL;DR

Adds a table-driven required-environment-variable step so feature prerequisites remain explicit but are easier to scan. Migrates the four observability profile workflows without changing their required variables.

Additional Details

Why

Repeated one-line environment checks obscure the prerequisite list in live feature backgrounds.

What changed

  • Validate a name table, reject empty names, and report the first missing variable.
  • Share the helper with the existing singular step.
  • Add helper, handler, and registration coverage.
  • Document the step and use it in the disabled, control, compute, and all observability profiles.

Customer release notes: Not customer visible.

Plan summary: Not applicable.

Usage:

Given these environment variables are set:
  | name            |
  | NGC_API_KEY     |
  | SAMPLE_NGC_ORG  |
  | SAMPLE_NGC_TEAM |

Dependencies: None. No license or NOTICE changes.

Related Pull Requests: #898

For the Reviewer

Please focus on the table validation and whether the migrated backgrounds preserve the visible operator prerequisites.

For QA

Passed on rebased commit 0c2fbfb5:

  • go test -short -count=1 ./... from tests/bdd
  • tests/bdd/scripts/lint.sh
  • TestObservabilityDisabled: 1 scenario, 14 steps, 45 seconds
  • TestObservabilityControl: 1 scenario, 27 steps, 11 minutes 28 seconds
  • TestObservabilityAll: 1 scenario, 41 steps, 13 minutes 50 seconds
  • TestObservabilityCompute: 1 scenario, 54 steps, 12 minutes 8 seconds

The live install runs required a temporary uncommitted Cassandra repository/tag correction because current main requests the unpublished bitnami-cassandra:5.0.8-nv-0. The correction used the published multi-arch cassandra:5.0.8-nv-2.0.1, consistent with the repository fix in #898, and was removed before commit. A cluster-only RuntimeClass adjustment was also needed for the local k3s fake-GPU prerequisite. The render-only test and all BDD code gates passed on the exact committed tree.

QA needed: No separate DSL QA.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added a table-based validation step for checking multiple required environment variables at once.
    • Reports the first missing variable clearly and rejects invalid or blank variable names.
  • Documentation

    • Updated environment setup guidance and examples to use the new table-based format.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for successful validation, missing variables, invalid tables, and empty variable names.
    • Updated observability scenarios to use consolidated environment checks.

Add a table-driven prerequisite step that keeps every variable visible while reporting the first missing name. Migrate the four observability profile workflows without changing their required variables.

Review Change Stack

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The BDD DSL now validates multiple environment variables from a table. The step validates table structure, rejects blank names, reports the first missing variable, and replaces repeated prerequisite steps in observability features.

Changes

Environment-variable validation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Environment validation helper
tests/bdd/dsl/env.go, tests/bdd/dsl/env_test.go
Added RequireEnvironmentVariables with ordered checks, blank-name validation, missing-variable errors, and unit tests.
Table step wiring and coverage
tests/bdd/steps/file_steps.go, tests/bdd/steps/steps_test.go
Added and registered the table-based step. The handler validates the name column and delegates checks to the DSL helper.
Feature and DSL documentation migration
tests/bdd/PLAN.md, tests/bdd/features/observability-*.feature
Documented the new step and replaced repeated environment-variable checks while preserving the required variable names.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 0c2fb

The change reorganizes BDD environment prerequisites without changing the required variables or production behavior. Merge readiness is low risk, with a bounded follow-up to isolate missing-variable tests from inherited environment values so they cannot pass for the wrong reason.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Make missing-variable tests independent of the inherited environment.

Both tests assume that the named variable is absent. If a caller exports either name, the validation succeeds and the test no longer verifies the missing-variable path. Set each expected missing variable to an empty value before calling the helper or handler.

  • tests/bdd/dsl/env_test.go#L33-L41: call t.Setenv("BDD_ENV_MISSING_EXACT", "") before RequireEnvironmentVariables.
  • tests/bdd/steps/steps_test.go#L174-L188: call t.Setenv("BDD_TMP_REQUIRED_MISSING", "") before environmentVariablesAreSet.
