Prepending $HOME to the path fix the issue.

Following is the error you see:

~ % ocm-container
Error: statfs /.config/backplane/config.json: no such file or directory

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Backplane configuration is now loaded from the standard configuration directory in the user’s home folder, improving reliability across working directories.

Walkthrough

The default backplane configuration path changed from a relative path to $HOME/.config/backplane/config.json.

Changes

Backplane configuration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Default configuration path
pkg/features/backplane/backplane.go
The defaultBackplaneConfig constant now points to the home-directory configuration path.

Estimated code review effort: 1 (Trivial) | ~2 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to c5610

The default configuration path is still constructed incorrectly, causing the command to look in a nonexistent location and fail to start as intended. This bounded correctness issue should be fixed before merge.

Full details: Docstring Coverage

Explanation

No functions found in the changed files to evaluate docstring coverage. Skipping docstring coverage check. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 0 functions across 1 files.

Full details: Stable And Deterministic Test Names

Explanation

The pull request changes only pkg/features/backplane/backplane.go; it does not add or modify any Ginkgo test title. The existing backplane Describe, Context, and It titles are static descriptive strings and contain no generated identifiers, timestamps, node or namespace names, IP addresses, or interpolated values.

Full details: Test Structure And Quality

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes only pkg/features/backplane/backplane.go, replacing one configuration-path constant. git diff master...HEAD -- '*_test.go' returns no changed test files, and the changed file contains no Ginkgo tests, cluster operations, Eventually, or Consistently calls. The stated test-quality conditions are therefore not applicable to this pull request.

Full details: Microshift Test Compatibility

Explanation

The pull request changes only a configuration-path constant in pkg/features/backplane/backplane.go. No new or modified Ginkgo e2e tests were added, and the existing backplane test file is present in both the parent and current revisions. The MicroShift Test Compatibility check is therefore not applicable.

Full details: Single Node Openshift (Sno) Test Compatibility

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes only pkg/features/backplane/backplane.go, replacing the default path string. git diff HEAD^..HEAD shows one insertion and one deletion, with no added Ginkgo tests. The SNO compatibility check is therefore not applicable.

Full details: Topology-Aware Scheduling Compatibility

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes only defaultBackplaneConfig in pkg/features/backplane/backplane.go, from .config/backplane/config.json to $HOME/.config/backplane/config.json. The diff adds no deployment manifest, operator scheduling code, controller logic, replica setting, affinity, topology spread, node selector, toleration, or PDB. The topology-aware scheduling check is therefore not applicable.

Full details: Ote Binary Stdout Contract

Explanation

PASS. The diff has one change in one file: it replaces the defaultBackplaneConfig string literal. The changed top-level constant performs no output. The pull request does not modify main(), init(), RunSpecs() setup, suite hooks, or logging configuration, and it introduces no stdout API call. Existing stdout calls elsewhere are unchanged and therefore are not pull-request-caused failures under this check.

Full details: Ipv6 And Disconnected Network Test Compatibility

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes only pkg/features/backplane/backplane.go, replacing one configuration path string. It adds no Ginkgo e2e tests and introduces no IPv4 assumptions or external connectivity requirements.

Full details: No-Weak-Crypto

Explanation

PASS. The pull request changes only defaultBackplaneConfig from a relative path to $HOME/.config/backplane/config.json. The complete diff contains no MD5, SHA1, DES, RC4, 3DES, Blowfish, ECB, custom crypto, or secret-comparison usage.

Full details: Container-Privileges

Explanation

PASS: The pull request changes only defaultBackplaneConfig in pkg/features/backplane/backplane.go, from a relative path to $HOME/.config/backplane/config.json. The added line does not introduce privileged: true, host PID/network/IPC access, SYS_ADMIN, allowPrivilegeEscalation: true, or a root runtime setting. No explicit privilege-condition matches exist in the repository's container-related files.

Full details: No-Sensitive-Data-In-Logs

Explanation

PASS: The commit changes only the defaultBackplaneConfig string in pkg/features/backplane/backplane.go. It adds no logging calls and does not add passwords, tokens, API keys, PII, session IDs, hostnames, or customer data to logs. Existing path-related debug and error messages are unchanged, so this check has no pull-request-caused failure.

Do not store an unexpanded $HOME token in defaultBackplaneConfig.

statFileLocation passes the value directly to f.afs.Stat and then prepends HOME without expansion. The fallback therefore checks <HOME>/$HOME/.config/backplane/config.json, not <HOME>/.config/backplane/config.json. Keep the constant relative:

Proposed fix
-	defaultBackplaneConfig   = "$HOME/.config/backplane/config.json"
+	defaultBackplaneConfig   = ".config/backplane/config.json"

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Suggested change
defaultBackplaneConfig = "$HOME/.config/backplane/config.json"
defaultBackplaneConfig = ".config/backplane/config.json"
