Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: Operator status display values did not account for manual approval strategy. Consequence: The 'upgrade available' status was displayed, which did not convey that further action was required in order to upgrade. Fix: Add a new status message/action for Operators which are waiting for manual approval to upgrade. Result: User can clearly tell when an operator upgrade requires further action.

Description bpeterse 2020-04-21 18:56:56 UTC
Bug migrated from Jira & Github Issue:
- https://issues.redhat.com/browse/CONSOLE-2195
- https://github.com/openshift/console/issues/5063

Problem:
When an Operator has a manual approval strategy and is able to be installed or upgraded, this isn't particularly apparent to the user since the Installed Operator list view for that operator:

    "Initial installation" case:
    The "Installed Operators" list view shows "UpgradePending" status
    "New Operator version available" case:
    The "Installed Operators" list view shows "Upgrading" status

It needs to be more apparent in the list view that "user intervention is needed" to upgrade this Operator.

Background:
The console could be displaying "UpgradeAvailable" instead of "UpgradePending" (<-- the current Subscription object `status.state`) when the `spec.installPlanApproval` is set to `Manual`.

We can consider backporting this one.

Comment 3 Jon Jackson 2020-05-07 19:17:57 UTC
Still looking into this. Will address in an upcoming sprint.

UX design for this bug seen here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SGS314oxVigBbx8V_sp6MvIO_s5KBOEFNEYjpjtIFTo/edit?usp=sharing

Comment 5 bpeterse 2020-05-18 15:23:33 UTC
Can we make this clearer without needing redesign?  Perhaps we can come back on the design elements in 4.6.

Comment 6 Peter Kreuser 2020-05-18 18:51:47 UTC
The "UX design" is really just changing two statuses (one on the list view and one in subscription details) from "UpgradePending"/"Upgrading" -> "Upgrade Available", with that status also being a link to the InstallPlan. Let me know if we need to rework that for 4.5.

Comment 7 bpeterse 2020-05-26 15:21:24 UTC
PR is open, but this is not a new issue, I don't believe it should be a 4.5 blocker.

Comment 12 Yanping Zhang 2020-06-04 09:10:04 UTC
Checked on ocp 4.6 cluster with payload 4.6.0-0.ci-2020-06-04-011434
Install a operator in project, eg "Akka Cluster Operator", when install, choose "Manual" Approval Strategy, click "Install".
On installed operator page, could see status "Upgrade available", click on it, will go to intall plan detail page, click "Preview Install Plan", user could choose "Approve" or "Deny".
The bug is fixed.
