edited May 2018 in LFS258 Class Forum

As stated in the subject, I'm working through excersice 13.1 and on step 5.

"5. Create the new object and view he resource using short and long name."

I have been successful in previous steps to show both the long and short names. Step 3 worked without issue.

I am receive data back when I use the long name "CronTab".

Please advise,

    Hi Sean, 

    I believe your issue is again yaml whitespace. If all is good in your crd.yaml, describe crd should also show you the Short Names: ct, like below:


    ​...
Spec:
  Group:  training.lfs258.com
  Names:
    Kind:       CronTab
    List Kind:  CronTabList
    Plural:     crontabs
    Short Names:
      ct
...

     

    If in your crd.yaml, the "- ct" is not properly alligned, you will not get an error during the create -f crd.yaml, and you will receive the error of unfound resource type. I am not exactly sure why there is no error at create. However, I did notice this before too, and it was also the last line that was giving me headaches. 

    If all whitespace is correct in crd.yaml, you should be able to obtain successful outputs for all attempts at get ct, get crontab, get crontabs, get CronTab. 

    If you downloaded the solutions tar file, you should have a good crd.yaml which works. 

    If not, try this:


    apiVersion: apiextensions.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: CustomResourceDefinition
metadata:
  name: crontabs.training.lfs458.com
         # This name must match names below.
         # <plural>.<group> syntax
spec:
  scope: Cluster    #Could also be Namespaced
  group: training.lfs458.com
  version: v1
  names:
    kind: CronTab      #Typically CamelCased for resource manifest
    plural: crontabs   #Shown in URL
    singular: crontab  #Short name for CLI alias
    shortNames:
    - ct               #CLI short name

     

    Have fun with YAML :))

    -Chris

    Thanks Chris,

    I found a couple of typos in my YAML files that were the cause of my issues with this exercise.

    Thank you again for you help.
