Atlassian/kubectl-run by default runs with --dry-run enabled

[Jurgen Heeffer]

I'm using atlassian/kubectl-run:3.3.1 and trying to deploy resources in a namespace that doesn't exist yet but is created in the same apply. 

The namespace is defined like this:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Namespace
metadata:
  name: namespace-name

Due to the pipe running dry-run by default I'm unable to apply both the namespace resources and the to be deployed resources in a single apply. 

Is there a way around this (by disabling the dry-run by default) or am I stuck creating the namespaces and the resources in two separate applys?

Hi @Jurgen Heeffer . Thanks for your question. Please provide us your configuration details of how you use the pipe.

Maybe you use the pipe this way:

script:
  - pipe: atlassian/kubectl-run:3.3.1
    variables:
      KUBE_CONFIG: $KUBE_CONFIG
      KUBECTL_COMMAND: 'apply'
      RESOURCE_PATH: 'nginx.yml'
      KUBECTL_ARGS:
        - '--dry-run'

then you should remove '--dry-run' from KUBECTL_ARGS.

Hi @Igor Stoyanov

I'm currently using it like this. 

- pipe: atlassian/kubectl-run:3.3.1
  variables:
    KUBE_CONFIG: ${!kube_config}
    KUBECTL_COMMAND: 'apply'
    KUBECTL_APPLY_ARGS: '-k'
    RESOURCE_PATH: '.deploy/overlays/${ENVIRONMENT}/'

I'm not currently specifying dry-run. 

With regards,

Jurgen

@Jurgen Heeffer Thanks for your response. Please provide also your pipeline output.

--dry-run is used in validate spec file by default, and i guess you receive 

spec file validation failed error. Our team may think about disable validation with an option available for user, will be this solution ok for you?
