policy

Rego policies related to the Conforma.

Getting started for developers

Makefile

The Makefile contains a lot of useful scripts and commands. Run make by itself to see the help.

Dependencies

Go is required for development. Tools like conftest and opa are executed with the Go binary - they do not need to be installed in your system. See the top of the go.mod file for the minimum version of Go required.

Most of the maintainers use asdf to seamlessly use the right version of Go.

Some, optional, make targets may require additional tooling. For example, make live-test requires entr to be installed.

Formatting

The rego files should be formatted using the standard format. To apply the standard format run this before committing:

make fmt 

Documentation

The documentation is built using Antora.

Those docs are published here.

When making changes to policy rules, the docs will likely need to be re-generated. To do so run:

make generate-docs 

Commit all of the modified files.

Running tests

From the top level directory you can run all tests and formatting checks, as well as check that the docs are up to date, like this:

make ci 

You can run a single test like this:

ec opa test ./policy -r <test_name_matcher> 

or

go run github.com/conforma/cli opa test ./policy -r <test_name_matcher> 

The <test_name_matcher> is a regex, so you can use it to run more than one test.

See Makefile for other ways to run the tests.

Writing tests

Policies must have unit tests validating them. All test files must adhere to the naming convention:

file.rego file_test.rego 

Refer to the policy testing docs for more information.

The CI also enforces that there is 100% test coverage. If you're not at 100% you can use this to show what lines of code are not covered:

make coverage 

Running policies against real pipline run image build attestations

Fetch an image attestation from a registry:

make fetch-att more input/input.json # to look at it 

or:

make fetch-att IMAGE=<some-image-with-an-attestation-ref> 

Create a dummy policy config file:

make dummy-config cat data/config.json # to look at it 

Then to verify the build using the defined policies:

make check-release 

Running policies against real pipeline definitions

For example to fetch a pipeline definition from your local cluster:

make fetch-pipeline make fetch-pipeline PIPELINE=<some-pipeline-name> more input/input.json # to look at it 

For a realistic Konflux pipeline definition that doesn't require cluster access, if you have the build-definitions repo checked out nearby you can do something like this:

( cd ../build-definitions && kustomize build pipelines/hacbs | yq 'select(document_index == 2)' -o json ) > input/input.json 

Then to verify the pipeline definition using the defined policies:

make check-pipeline 

Running policies against local ec build

Build a local version of ec in your local cli repo:

make build 

Create a policy.yaml file in your local cli repo with something like:

--- sources: - policy: - <path-to>/policy/policy/lib - <path-to>/policy/policy/release data: - oci::quay.io/konflux-ci/tekton-catalog/data-acceptable-bundles:latest - github.com/release-engineering/rhtap-ec-policy//data 

Run the locally built ec command

dist/ec_<arch> validate image --verbose --images '{"components": [{"containerImage": "<container-image>", "name":"my-image", "source":{"git":{"url":"<repository-url>","revision":"<commit-id>"}}}]}' --policy 'policy.yaml' --public-key <public-key-to-verify-the-image> --strict false --ignore-rekor --verbose --output=text 

Policy bundles

The policies defined here are bundled and pushed as OCI artifacts using conftest. There are three bundles, one for each of the release and pipeline policies, and one for the data which is used by both.

The push-bundles automates creating and pushing these bundles to quay.io, and generating a related PR in the infra-deployments repo so the latest bundles are used.

See also the policy bundle documentation.

Getting started for policy authors

See the Policy Authoring documentation for guidance on contributing to the definition of policy rules.
