Description of your changes

render.LoadCredentials reads every document in --function-credentials straight into a corev1.Secret without checking its kind. A document that isn't a Secret causes one of two problems:

• ConfigMap with plain-text data: the whole load fails with cannot parse YAML secret manifest: illegal base64 data .... The error names a Secret, even though the bad document isn't one.
• Document without data (for example a Deployment): it's loaded as an empty Secret with that name and passed to functions as a credential. Nothing warns about it.

Function credentials are always Secrets (a step's credentials[].source: Secret). So this change reads each document's apiVersion/kind first, and rejects anything that isn't v1/Secret with an error that names it, such as ConfigMap/foo is not a v1 Secret. That also means a document with no apiVersion/kind at all is now rejected.

This affects render xr and render op. #436 switches project simulate to the same loader. TestLoadCredentials is new, with three cases: Secrets only, a Secret plus a ConfigMap, and a Deployment.

Related: #436, #452.

I have:

• Read and followed Crossplane's contribution process.
• Run ./nix.sh flake check to ensure this PR is ready for review. (./nix.sh run .#test and ./nix.sh run .#lint pass.)
• Added or updated unit tests.
• Linked a PR or a docs tracking issue to document this change. (bug fix, no docs change)
• Added backport release-x.y labels to auto-backport this PR.

Walkthrough

LoadCredentials now rejects documents that are not v1/Secret. It reports the kind and name when metadata identifies a non-Secret document. Tests cover valid Secrets and error cases.

Changes: Credential manifest validation

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Secret validation and test coverage pkg/render/load.go, pkg/render/load_test.go	LoadCredentials checks the document kind after Secret decoding. If decoding fails, it checks metadata for a non-Secret kind and name; other failures retain the wrapped parse error. Tests cover two valid Secrets, ConfigMap and Deployment manifests, and invalid base64 data.

Priority: Normal

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: Low · previous review 89434

Invalid credential manifests are rejected, but users may have difficulty identifying the missing field. The remaining risk is low.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title is under 72 characters (64) and names the change and its scope. It states that non-Secret documents are rejected in function credentials, which matches the changeset in pkg/render/load.go and its tests. It meets the descriptive-title requirement.

Full details: Description check

Explanation

The description covers the problem, the fix, the affected commands (render xr and render op), the new TestLoadCredentials cases, and the related PRs. It matches the changeset closely, so it is not off-topic.

Full details: Feature Gate Requirement

Explanation

The pull request changes only pkg/render/load.go, its unit test, and test fixtures. It does not modify apis/** or add an experimental feature. The behavior change rejects invalid non-Secret credential documents in an existing loader, which is a bug fix rather than a new experimental feature. No feature flag is required by this check.

Any reason not to do this check on s below? That would avoid unmarshaling twice, which can be expensive.

[jcogilvie]

Done. Now it only tries to decode a second time in case of failure (to get the metadata for the error message).

Compare errors as errors.

This conversion tests only error text. The invalid-base64 case also fixes the assertion to the decoder’s complete diagnostic. Could you use cmp.Diff with cmpopts.EquateErrors() to check the error result, then check the actionable non-Secret messages separately? That would preserve the message coverage without making the parse-error test depend on every word of the decoder diagnostic. Thank you. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

As per path instructions, tests must “use cmp.Diff with cmpopts.EquateErrors() for error testing.”

Cover missing apiVersion and kind separately.

TestLoadCredentials has no fixture that omits either field. Add focused cases that assert any error with cmpopts.EquateErrors(), without depending on the current error text.
