Adjust the dockercompose plugin matchingRule implementation such that it returns true if any of the matching rules matches.

This matches the current documentation:

a container image is ignored when it matches at least one rule.

ref:

// "ignore" defines rules to exclude matching container images from the autodiscovery.
//
// remark:
// * a container image is ignored when it matches at least one rule.
//
Ignore MatchingRules `yaml:",omitempty"`
// "only" defines rules to restrict the autodiscovery to matching container images.
//
// remark:
// * a container image is kept only when it matches at least one rule.
//
Only MatchingRules `yaml:",omitempty"`

Test

To test this pull request, you can run the following commands:

 go test -v ./pkg/plugins/autodiscovery/dockercompose/matchingRule_test.go ./pkg/plugins/autodiscovery/dockercompose/matchingRule.go

Additional Information

The specific configuration I'm using looks like this:

      ignore:
        - path: "applications/clickhouse.yaml"
        - path: "applications/postgres.yaml"
        - images:
            - "docker.internal.example.com"
            - "<account-number>.dkr.ecr.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com"

After this change:

  • My private registries are excluded
  • The clickhouse and postgres files are excluded.

Checklist

  • (N/A, docs already match) I have updated the documentation via pull request in website repository.
  • I have tested this pull request manually with a custom Updatecli build and it works as expected.

Tradeoff

This is arguably a breaking change, as it may result in more/less pipelines running. However it brings the behavior inline with the documentation, and IMO intuition - so I think this is acceptable.

Potential improvement

It looks like the same bug applies to other plugins - I'd be inclined to make this change to all.

dockerfile and woodpecker were fine, nomad had the same bug. Added tests to each, and refactored to make the implementation more consistent

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Matching rules for Docker Compose, Dockerfile, and Nomad are now evaluated independently. All applicable conditions within a single rule must match, while a match from any one rule is sufficient. This corrects cases where conditions from separate rules could combine to produce an incorrect result.

Walkthrough

Docker Compose, Dockerfile, and Nomad matching methods now evaluate each rule independently. Tests cover cases where an image condition matches after path conditions fail. The Woodpecker comment now describes matching any defined rule.

pkg/plugins/autodiscovery/dockercompose/matchingRule.go:67-75
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Keep the discovered path unchanged across rules.

compose.go passes a relative path to isMatchingRule. If a nonmatching absolute Path rule runs first, isMatchingRule rewrites the shared filePath to an absolute path. A later matching relative Path rule then fails. Only skips the valid Compose file, while Ignore fails to exclude it.

 				var ruleResults []bool
 				var match bool
 				var err error
+				ruleFilePath := filePath
 
 				// Only check if path rule defined
 				if matchingRule.Path != "" && filePath != "" {
 					if filepath.IsAbs(matchingRule.Path) {
-						filePath = filepath.Join(rootDir, filePath)
+						ruleFilePath = filepath.Join(rootDir, ruleFilePath)
 					}

Hi @mnahkies ,
Thanks for the pullrequest, this is one of those technical decision where I get confused over time.
I think it makes sense but I am wondering how to prevent this over time

Hi @mnahkies , Thanks for the pullrequest, this is one of those technical decision where I get confused over time. I think it makes sense but I am wondering how to prevent this over time

I'd be inclined to apply the same fix + test additions to the docker and nomad plugins:

It seems the woodpecker implementation is already correct:

In terms of preventing it overtime - I think the additional tests should go a long way. One approach could be to try and refactor the matching rules to be more abstract / a shared concept across plugins. There are slight differences between each though, so I'm unsure if it's worthwhile.

Minor · Do not treat an empty result set as a match. · matchingRule.go:65-67

pkg/plugins/autodiscovery/dockercompose/matchingRule.go:65-67
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Do not treat an empty result set as a match.

YAML permits an empty mapping key, and this parser copies that key into svc.Name without validation. A nonempty image then reaches both production matching calls.

For a later Services-only rule, service == "" skips the service comparison. The reset ruleResults slice stays empty, so the rule returns true even though its configured service name does not match. This can incorrectly affect both Ignore and Only.

Suggested fix
 			allMatchingRule := true
+			if len(ruleResults) == 0 {
+				continue
+			}
 			for i := range ruleResults {

That's something I wondered the first time I introduced this concept but every ecosystem comes with slightly modification so I don't think it 's worth doing

You were correct, gitlab api reduced the api limit for un-authenticated request so the gitlab integration tests executed from CI now exhaust the api limit very quicky. I disabled the tests
