Bug Report

Changes in the config/manifests/bases/.clusterserviceversion.yaml has been overwritten

What did you do?

1. Update spec.relatedImages in config/manifests/bases/<operator-name>.clusterserviceversion.yaml and described in the doc https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.7/operators/operator_sdk/osdk-generating-csvs.html.

...
spec:
  relatedImages: 
    - name: etcd-operator 
      image: quay.io/etcd-operator/operator@sha256:d134a9865524c29fcf75bbc4469013bc38d8a15cb5f41acfddb6b9e492f556e4 
    - name: etcd-image
      image: quay.io/etcd-operator/etcd@sha256:13348c15263bd8838ec1d5fc4550ede9860fcbb0f843e48cbccec07810eebb68
...

2. Run make bundle or operator-sdk generate kustomize manifests --interactive=false -q

What did you expect to see?

The bundle be generated using the updates for the CSV base

What did you see instead? Under which circumstances?

The changes made are lost:

Saw this behavior with operator-sdk 1.9.0 as well.

FWIW, the same commands (make bundle) also erase any comments that I make in config/manifests/bases/<operator-name>.clusterserviceversion.yaml file. While it's not an end of the world, it would be nice to preserve comments between executions.

[estroz]

relatedImages (and skips) were not a part of the official CSV spec in v1.5.0. It was added officially recently and is not overwritten in recent operator-sdk versions. See #4884.

@msugakov feel free to create a new issue for comment preservation.

Hi @msugakov,

Just to supplement the above comment: this scenario should not occur with the latest versions 1.8.0 and 1.9.0.

[msugakov]

Ok. I double-checked 1.9.0 and relatedImages are preserved in config/manifests/bases/*.clusterserviceversion.yaml. Looks like I did some mistake when trying to reproduce it earlier.
