Tekton is an open-source framework for creating CI/CD systems. It provides Kubernetes-style resources for declaring CI/CD-style pipelines. Tekton allows developers to build, test, and deploy across cloud providers and on-premise systems. By leveraging Kubernetes, Tekton offers a cloud-native way to manage and execute pipelines.
When working with Tekton, you might encounter an error message stating: PipelineRun workspace not found. This error typically occurs when a workspace specified in a PipelineRun is not properly defined or bound, leading to execution failures.
The error arises when a PipelineRun is configured to use a workspace that hasn't been defined or bound correctly. Workspaces in Tekton are used to share data between tasks and persist data across pipeline executions. If a workspace is not properly set up, tasks that rely on it will fail to execute.
The root cause of this issue is typically a misconfiguration in the PipelineRun specification. This can happen if:
Pipeline or PipelineRun spec.Pipeline and PipelineRun.To resolve the PipelineRun workspace not found error, follow these steps:
Ensure that the workspace is declared in both the Pipeline and PipelineRun specifications. Check for any typos or mismatches in the workspace names.
apiVersion: tekton.dev/v1beta1
kind: Pipeline
metadata:
name: example-pipeline
spec:
workspaces:
- name: shared-workspace
tasks:
- name: example-task
workspaces:
- name: shared-workspace
Ensure that the PipelineRun binds the workspace to a valid volume or PVC. This binding allows the workspace to be used during the pipeline execution.
apiVersion: tekton.dev/v1beta1
kind: PipelineRun
metadata:
name: example-pipelinerun
spec:
pipelineRef:
name: example-pipeline
workspaces:
- name: shared-workspace
persistentVolumeClaim:
claimName: my-pvc
After making changes, validate your configuration by applying the updated Pipeline and PipelineRun resources. Use the following command:
kubectl apply -f pipeline.yaml
kubectl apply -f pipelinerun.yaml
