🌐 Web query:

RFC 6902 JSON Patch add operation parent object must exist path

💡 Result:

According to RFC 6902, the JSON Patch "add" operation requires that the parent object or array containing the target location must exist [1][2]. While the target location itself is not required to exist—in which case the "add" operation will create it—it remains an error if the container (the parent object or array) does not exist [1][3]. For example, if you are attempting to add a member to an object: - If you have an existing object {"a": {"foo": 1}} and use path "/a/b", the operation succeeds because the parent object "a" exists [1][4]. - If you have an object {"q": {"bar": 2}} and attempt to add a member at path "/a/b", the operation will fail because the parent object "a" does not exist in the document [1][3]. Similarly, you cannot add an element to an array that does not exist; the array itself must already be present in the document for the "add" operation to succeed at a specific index within that array [3][5].

Citations:

Handle namespaces without an existing metadata.labels map.

storage.NewModelCacheInitNamespace() sets labels only on the create path. When creation returns AlreadyExists, ensureModelCacheNamespaceLabel calls Namespaces().Patch with JSON Patch add; this can fail when metadata.labels is absent, causing startup to return an error. Use a patch that creates metadata.labels while preserving existing labels. Add tests for nil labels and existing labels.

Exercise ensureModelCacheNamespaceLabel with a real Kubernetes client.

alreadyLabelled is only the mocked return value. The test never applies the JSON Patch to an input namespace. Add a table-driven envtest that patches an existing namespace through CoreV1().Namespaces() and reads it back. Do not model the newly created path as label-less because storage.NewModelCacheInitNamespace initializes Labels before Create. Test an existing namespace with Labels == nil instead, because /metadata/labels/<key> has no parent in that state and the patch can be rejected. Use nvcaenvtest.SetupEnvtest, which requires KUBEBUILDER_ASSETS.
