Summary

Fixes the bug where container extraction fails with "No such image" error when exportToCache=true (SLSA enabled) and the Docker package has no image: config.

Part of https://linear.app/ona-team/issue/CLC-2009/docker-export-mode-for-slsa-l3-compliance-leeway

Problem

When a Docker package:

  • Has no image: config (not pushed to registry)
  • Is built with exportToCache=true (SLSA L3 enabled)

The build creates image.tar with OCI layout but extraction tries to get the image from Docker daemon, which fails because the image was never loaded into the daemon.

Error:

post-processing failed: failed to extract container files: 
getting image from daemon: Error response from daemon: 
No such image: f00a44ef28da84380925beafb6dd01fa318fd36f:latest

Affected: monorepo CI - runner/shared/openssh:docker package build

Solution

Modified extractImageWithOCILibsImpl() to:

  1. Check if image.tar exists (created when exportToCache=true)
  2. If yes: Extract OCI layout from tar → load image → extract container files
  3. If no: Fall back to Docker daemon (original behavior)

Changes

pkg/leeway/container_image.go

  • Added import: github.com/google/go-containerregistry/pkg/v1/layout
  • Modified extractImageWithOCILibsImpl() to handle OCI tar extraction
  • Added extractTar() helper function

pkg/leeway/build_test.go

  • Removed global mock in init() that was hiding bugs
  • Created setupMockForUnitTests() helper for explicit mocking
  • Integration tests now use real extraction code

pkg/leeway/build_integration_test.go

  • Added TestDockerPackage_OCIExtraction_NoImage_Integration
  • Reproduces the exact bug scenario
  • Verifies the fix works

Testing

New Integration Test

go test -tags=integration -v ./pkg/leeway \
  -run TestDockerPackage_OCIExtraction_NoImage_Integration

✅ PASS - Verifies extraction works from OCI tar

Existing Tests

  • TestDockerPackage_ContainerExtraction_Integration - PASS
  • TestDockerPackage_OCILayout_Determinism_Integration - PASS (determinism preserved)
  • ✅ All unit tests - PASS

Manual Testing

Tested with monorepo runner/shared/openssh:docker:

  • ✅ Extraction succeeds (no "No such image" error)
  • ✅ Container files extracted correctly
  • ✅ SLSA provenance generation works

SLSA L3 Compatibility

Determinism preserved - OCI layout is unchanged
Cache structure unchanged - Only affects extraction
Provenance unaffected - Generated before extraction
Backward compatible - Falls back to daemon when OCI tar doesn't exist

Why This Wasn't Caught Before

The integration tests on main use a global mock in init() that intercepts ALL extraction calls, including in integration tests. This means tests passed but the real extraction code was never tested.

Evidence: Test output shows msg="Mock: Extracting container filesystem"

This PR removes the global mock and makes it opt-in, so integration tests now test real code.

Checklist

  • Fix implements the solution correctly
  • Integration test reproduces and verifies the fix
  • Existing tests pass
  • Determinism test passes (SLSA L3 requirement)
  • Backward compatible (falls back to daemon)
  • No cache structure changes
  • Documentation updated (commit messages)

When exportToCache=true, Docker images are built with `--output type=oci,dest=image.tar`
which exports to a tar file but does NOT load the image into the Docker daemon.

The extraction code was always trying to get the image from the Docker daemon using
`daemon.Image()`, which failed with "No such image" error.

This fix:
1. Checks if an OCI tar file exists (image.tar in the build directory)
2. If yes, extracts the OCI layout from the tar and loads the image from it
3. If no, falls back to the Docker daemon (existing behavior)

Also removes the global mock in build_test.go that was preventing integration tests
from testing the real extraction code. The mock is now a helper function that tests
can explicitly call if needed.

Fixes the production failure in gitpod-next where runner/shared/openssh:docker
package build was failing with "No such image" error.

Adds TestDockerPackage_OCIExtraction_NoImage_Integration which reproduces
and verifies the fix for the bug where container extraction fails with
'No such image' error when exportToCache=true and no image: config.

The test:
1. Creates a Docker package with NO image: config (not pushed to registry)
2. Builds with exportToCache=true (creates OCI layout)
3. Verifies build succeeds without 'No such image' error
4. Confirms extraction works from OCI tar instead of Docker daemon

This test would fail on main branch (uses mock) but passes on fix branch
(uses real extraction from OCI tar).

Unit tests that use dummy docker (not real Docker) need the mock enabled
because dummy docker doesn't create real images or OCI tars.

Without the mock, container extraction fails with 'No such image' error
when the test package has no image: config (which triggers extraction).

Tests fixed:
- TestBuildDockerDeps
- TestDockerPostProcessing

This resolves the CI unit test failures while keeping integration tests
using real extraction code.
