refs platform/#3231: enforce the set of the default namespace for the current context if the KUBE_NAMESPACE variable is not defined

[Monska85]

PR Type

Enhancement

---

Description

• Enhanced Kubernetes context setup to always set a namespace, using 'default' as fallback when KUBE_NAMESPACE is not defined
• Simplified code by removing conditional check and using parameter expansion with default value
• Improved robustness of GitLab agent setup by ensuring namespace is always configured

Category	Suggestion	Score
Best practice	Add error handling for kubectl commands to prevent silent failures and improve script reliability Add error handling to verify if the kubectl commands executed successfully, preventing silent failures in the context and namespace setup. scripts/src/functions.bash [200-203] -kubectl config use-context "${1}:${2}" +if ! kubectl config use-context "${1}:${2}"; then + echo "Error: Failed to switch kubectl context" >&2 + return 1 +fi echo "Setting the namespace to: ${KUBE_NAMESPACE:-default}" -kubectl config set-context --current --namespace="${KUBE_NAMESPACE:-default}" +if ! kubectl config set-context --current --namespace="${KUBE_NAMESPACE:-default}"; then + echo "Error: Failed to set namespace" >&2 + return 1 +fi Suggestion importance[1-10]: 8 Why: Adding error handling for kubectl commands is crucial for script reliability, as it prevents silent failures and provides clear error messages when context or namespace changes fail.	8
Enhancement	Add logging of the current context to improve observability and debugging capabilities Log the actual context name after switching to confirm the change was successful and provide better debugging information. scripts/src/functions.bash [200] kubectl config use-context "${1}:${2}" +echo "Successfully switched to context: $(kubectl config current-context)" Suggestion importance[1-10]: 5 Why: Adding confirmation logging of the actual context after switching would improve debugging capabilities, though it's a moderate enhancement since basic context information is already being echoed before the switch.	5
