Conftest

These tasks make it possible to use Conftest within your Tekton pipelines. Conftest is a tool for testing configuration files using Open Policy Agent.

Installation

In order to use Conftest with Tekton you need to first install the task.

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tektoncd/catalog/v1beta1/conftest/conftest.yaml

Conftest also has a Helm plugin, which redners the Helm chart before applying the policy. For that task use:

kubectl apply -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tektoncd/catalog/v1beta1/conftest/helm-conftest.yaml

Usage

Once installed, the task can be used as follows:

apiVersion: tekton.dev/v1beta1
kind: TaskRun
metadata:
  name: conftest-example
spec:
  taskRef:
    name: conftest
  workspaces:
  - name: source
    persistentVolumeClaim:
      claimName: my-source
  params:
  - name: files
    value: examples/kubernetes/deployment.yaml
  - name: policy
    value: examples/kubernetes/policy

Note that the above respository contains both a configuration file we want to test (examples/kubernetes/deployment.yaml) and a directory (examples/kubernetes/policy) containing OPA policy files. When using the task you would provide the details of the repository you want to test.

If you apply the above TaskRun you can see the output in the taskrun logs. For example:

$ tkn taskrun logs conftest-example -f
