Running multiple postStart events is not allowed.

[MazArslan]

Describe the bug

When I try to use multiple post start events, i get an error saying that Error processing devfile: component tools has multiple postStart events attached to it. As per the devfile 2 schema validation, this is a valid syntax, since both, postStart and commands are accepting array of elements.

Che version

7.58@latest

Steps to reproduce

schemaVersion: 2.1.0
metadata:
  name: demo-project
components:
  - name: tools
    container:
      image: quay.io/devfile/universal-developer-image:ubi8-f5ffca8
      memoryRequest: 1Gi
      memoryLimit: 3Gi
      cpuLimit: 1000m
      cpuRequest: 500m
commands:
  - id: second-command
    exec:
      component: tools
      commandLine: "echo second command"
  - id: install
    exec:
      component: tools
      commandLine: "/home/user/.sdkman/candidates/jbang/current/bin/jbang trust add -o --fresh --quiet https://github.com/apache/camel/blob/HEAD/dsl/camel-jbang/camel-jbang-main/dist/CamelJBang.java"
events:
  postStart:
    - install
    - second-command

create 2 commands and use both on a post start

when trying to run use the devfile getting this issue when trying to create workspace
Error processing devfile: component tools has multiple postStart events attached to it

Expected behavior

to apply the both/multiple post start events.

I guess the issue that you want to run two postStart events for one component.
If you want to run two (or more) postStart events for the one component you can try to split commands by ";". For example:

schemaVersion: 2.1.0
metadata:
  name: demo-project
components:
  - name: tools
    container:
      image: quay.io/devfile/universal-developer-image:ubi8-f5ffca8
      memoryRequest: 1Gi
      memoryLimit: 3Gi
      cpuLimit: 1000m
      cpuRequest: 500m
commands:
  - id: two-commands
    exec:
      component: tools
      commandLine: "/home/user/.sdkman/candidates/jbang/current/bin/jbang trust add -o --fresh --quiet https://github.com/apache/camel/blob/HEAD/dsl/camel-jbang/camel-jbang-main/dist/CamelJBang.java; echo second command"
events:
  postStart:
    - two-commands

That just a workaround, and I have done that. But my issue is in the documentation both command and postStart are Array<string> . This suggests to me that I should be able to have multiple events for one component.

ok, I got you point. You are reporting the issue with devfile processing. Outcome should be either code fix to allow multiple post events per one component processing or documentation update to add proper wording. Sounds reasonable to me.

The only one thing that I want to recommend you - is to use Devfile project to report the issue. Obviously, it's not a Eclipse Che issue. Probably Devworkspace-operator is a good repository to start.
