Viewing arbitrary resources

[brandonw]

I am trying to view resources available in api-resources for my cluster but not among the typical ones supported via numbered hotkeys.

I tried :Kubectl get datadogmetrics and it returned View not found in cache: datadogmetrics
I tried C-a datadogmetrics for aliases and it ignored my input and defaulted to returning all pods.

If I execute :Kubectl api-resources I see many rows with nils across the board which makes me think there is some sort of parsing issue for resources that causes them to be unrecognized.

#444 sounds as if this is supported, so I feel as if I am probably doing something obvious wrong but haven't been able to determine what that is. Anyone have any ideas?

Hi!

Yeah that sounds like a bug, we do have a log that hopefully can shed some light, the location is shown if you run this cmd: :lua print(vim.fn.stdpath("log")).

We also have a health check but that's in early development so will probably not show a lot but worth a try, just run check kubectl

One other thing you can try is to refresh the alias C-a view by hitting gr in normal mode while the float is open.

The log path contains a file kubectl which is empty after listing api-resources and trying :Kubectl get datadoghq.com/v1alpha1/datadogmetrics

:checkhealth kubectl returned green across the board.

Refreshing the aliases did not seem to have any effect.

Of note is datadogmetrics do not technically have an alias assigned. datadogpodautoscalers do have an alias of dpa and do show up in the alias view. Understandable if the aliases view is strictly only aliases, but I think ideally it tries aliases and falls back to fully qualified names?

That probably doesn't affect the generic :Kubectl get foo path, though, which presumably would support the fully qualified name?

Also maybe important is datadogmetrics are under a different (older) namespace than the (working) datadogpodautoscalers:

datadogmetrics                                                                      datadoghq.com/v1alpha1                    true         DatadogMetric
datadogpodautoscalers               dpa                                             datadoghq.com/v1alpha2                    true         DatadogPodAutoscaler

Just throwing random observations out now 😁 . Kubectl api-resources not only lists a bunch of nil rows, but does not list any SHORTNAMES even for resources that do have them specified.

[Ramilito]

Yeah we seem to have a bug in the api-versions view that might be related to the original issue.
I've started to fix the api-version nil rows (it's breaking the lineage feature currently so need to fix that before merging) but what do you see in the dropdown list in the C-a view?

If you try and press tab in that view you should get fuzzy autocompletion and you should be able to see what we have indexed datadogmetrics as.

This should be fixed now! Were some weirdness going on!
