Description of problem: - Garbage values accepted for `--reference-policy` in `oc import-image` without any error. - Command 'oc import-image' has an option '--reference-policy' that sets a value of the resulting ImageStreamTag (JSON path tag.referencePolicy.type). '--reference-policy=sources' results in 'tag.referencePolicy:type: Source' whereas '--reference-policy=local' results in 'tag.referencePolicy.type: Local'. Ommitting the option results in 'tag.referencePolicy.type: Source', i.e. 'source' is the default value. So far as documented. So far so good. - Now the interesting part: Specifying '--reference-policy' with any other value than 'source' or 'local' results in 'tag.referencePolicy.type: Source' - without any warning or error message. - This is not acceptable. Specifying '--reference-policy' with any other value than 'source' or 'local' must result in an appropriate error message and abort the 'oc import-image' command completely. - I additionally suggested to also make the command option '--reference-policy' a bit more lenient, i.e. treat the lower and upper case in the given values equally. (E.g. 'local' = 'Local') This is due to the different use of lower case values and upper case values with the command option '--reference-policy' on the one hand and 'tag.referencePolicy.type' in the resource ImageStreamTag on the other hand. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): - OC Client Client Version: 4.9.12 How reproducible: Easily reproducible using the following steps Steps to Reproduce: 1. oc import-image registry.redhat.io/openshift3/jenkins-2-rhel7 --reference-policy=sdfsdfds --confirm Actual results: - We don't get any error msg and we get `Source` as the default `reference-policy` ~~~ [quicklab@upi-0 ~]$ oc get is jenkins-2-rhel7 -o yaml | grep -A1 referencePolicy referencePolicy: type: Source ~~~ Expected results: We should get an error msg when we pass garbage values to `--reference-policy=sdfsdfds` other than `source` and `local` and import should fail. Additional info: You can do this test with any image.
checked with latest oc client, the issue has fixed: [root@localhost ~]# oc version --client Client Version: 4.11.0-202204122151.p0.ge88515d.assembly.stream-e88515d oc import-image registry.redhat.io/openshift3/jenkins-2-rhel7 --reference-policy=sdfsdfds --confirm error: valid reference policy values are source or local
