fix(test): take the registry keychain from the caller, not the host - #283

Three unit tests resolve registry credentials through
authn.DefaultKeychain, which reads the host's ~/.docker/config.json. A
developer whose config sets a credsStore sends that lookup to
docker-credential-<store>, and nix/apps.nix runs the test app with
inheritPath = false, so the helper is not on PATH:
error getting credentials - err: exec: "docker-credential-desktop":
executable file not found in $PATH
CI never hits it because the runner has no docker config, so the tests
fail only on developer machines: TestFindImageTagForVersionConstraint,
TestKCLBuild and TestGoTemplatingBuild.
The keychain is now supplied by the caller wherever a test drives the
pull, defaulting to authn.DefaultKeychain at each construction site so
production behaviour is unchanged:
* kclBuilder, goTemplatingBuilder, pythonBuilder and goBuilder gain a
keychain field alongside the transport field they already had, and
baseImageForArch takes it as an argument.
* findImageTagForVersionConstraint accepts crane options and passes
them to crane.ListTags.
The tests inject an anonymous keychain, following the anonymousKeychain
helper internal/project/push_test.go already uses on the push path. It
records whether it was consulted and the tests assert that it was, so a
future fall back to authn.DefaultKeychain fails on any host rather than
only on one with a docker config.
Setting DOCKER_CONFIG in the tests was the smaller change but is not
available: t.Setenv panics in TestKCLBuild and TestGoTemplatingBuild
because they call t.Parallel, and the variable is process-global while
those tests run alongside others.
Also report the error in TestFindImageTagForVersionConstraint. The
assertion printed only the empty result, so a credential lookup that
never reached the registry read as an unreachable registry.

Align the changed table-driven assertions with the repository test pattern.
The new switch still validates a boolean and an image through separate t.Errorf branches. Model each case with args and want fields and use cmp.Diff for the expected image and error result. Use cmpopts.EquateErrors() when the table compares concrete errors. Keep the added %v output because it exposes the underlying registry error.
As per path instructions, **/*_test.go requires the args/want pattern and cmp.Diff with cmpopts.EquateErrors() for error testing.

Description of your changes
Fixes #282
authn.DefaultKeychainreads the host's~/.docker/config.json. Three unit testsresolve registry credentials through it, so a
credsStorein that config sends thelookup to
docker-credential-<store>— whichnix/apps.nixguarantees is absent,since the test app runs with
inheritPath = false.Reproduced here on
b2a5e3c, usingDOCKER_CONFIGpointed at a directory holding{"credsStore":"desktop"}(equivalent to the reported~/.docker/config.json, andusable without touching the machine's own docker config):
go test ./...credsStore: desktopTestFindImageTagForVersionConstraint(all 5 constraint subtests),TestKCLBuild,TestGoTemplatingBuildThat is exactly the three tests the issue names and nothing else, so the blast radius
is bounded — no other test in the tree reaches a registry through the default keychain.
The change
The keychain is supplied by the caller wherever a test drives the pull, defaulting to
authn.DefaultKeychainat each construction site, so production behaviour is byte-for-byteunchanged:
kclBuilder,goTemplatingBuilder,pythonBuilderandgoBuildergain akeychainfield next to the
transportfield they already had for exactly this reason, andbaseImageForArchtakes it as an argument.pythonBuilderandgoBuilderhave notest today; they share
baseImageForArch/ the same hardcode, and leaving them outwould reopen this the moment one gets a test.
findImageTagForVersionConstraintacceptscrane.Options and passes them tocrane.ListTags.The tests inject an anonymous keychain. That is not a new pattern here —
internal/project/push_test.goalready carries ananonymousKeychainwith a commentsaying why, and
xpkg.WithKeychain/project.PushWithAuthKeychainalready exist. Thisjust extends it to the pull paths.
After the change, every remaining
authn.DefaultKeychainin the tree is either a defaultat a construction site or top-level command wiring. The one inline use left is
cmd/crossplane/xpkg/push.go(lines 132 and 153); nothing tests it and it looked likecommand wiring rather than a defect, so I left it — happy to thread it too if you'd rather
have the rule be uniform.
The alternative, and why not
t.Setenv("DOCKER_CONFIG", t.TempDir())is the smaller diff and doesn't work here.TestKCLBuildandTestGoTemplatingBuildcallt.Parallel(), and Go refuses thecombination — measured, not assumed:
DOCKER_CONFIGis also process-global, so setting it in one test while others run inparallel is a race even where the panic doesn't apply.
The assertion
The issue's second point — the test never surfaces the error, so
got:is empty and itreads like an unreachable registry.
TestFindImageTagForVersionConstraintnow reports it:What stops this coming back
The injected keychain records whether it was consulted, and each test asserts it was. Both
assertions were proved non-vacuous by mutation, on a clean host with no docker config —
so CI catches a regression without needing to reproduce anyone's local setup:
kcl.gotoremote.WithAuthFromKeychain(authn.DefaultKeychain)→TestKCLBuildandTestGoTemplatingBuildboth fail with "base image was pulled withoutthe injected keychain; the builder fell back to the host's docker config"
opts...fromcrane.ListTags→TestFindImageTagForVersionConstraintfails withthe same shape
Without that flag, both tests would pass on CI whether or not the fix were still in place.
