The dynamic client example, kubernetes.client.ApiClient(...) takes in the result of kubernetes.config.load_kube_config(...), which is empty

@fabianvf could you help take a look? |

@tonur you're correct, the client is being instatiated there oddly. To create the dynamic client, you instantiate an API client and pass it in, so the proper series of calls would be: from kubernetes import config, dynamic
from kubernetes.client import api_client
configuration = client.Configuration()
config.load_kube_config()
api_client = api_client.ApiClient(configuration=configuration)
dynamic_client = dynamic.DynamicClient(api_client) |

Is it okay that I make a Pull Request to change this in the example? Or is it something you'd rather do? |
|
@tonur absolutely! A PR would be appreciated |
Hey there @fabianvf. I found that this is not working for me at the moment... I have no idea what is going on, but somehow this is not working: from kubernetes import client
from kubernetes import config as k8sconfig
cluster_namespace = "test-cluster-namespace"
cluster_name = "test-cluster-name"
kubeconfig_file = "/tmp/k8s_config"
configuration = client.Configuration()
k8sconfig.load_kube_config(config_file=kubeconfig_file, context=f"{cluster_name}-admin@{cluster_name}")
cluster_client = client.ApiClient(configuration)This ends up trying to connect to "localhost:80" instead of the correct IP and Port for the Kubernetes cluster, outlined in the kubeconfig_file. But this is somehow working: from kubernetes import client
from kubernetes import config as k8sconfig
cluster_namespace = "test-cluster-namespace"
cluster_name = "test-cluster-name"
kubeconfig_file = "/tmp/k8s_config"
cluster_client = client.ApiClient(configuration=k8sconfig.load_kube_config(config_file=kubeconfig_file, context=f"{cluster_name}-admin@{cluster_name}"))I don't know what strange magic that the I would propose to document this in the example to discourage future optimists (like me) from spending hours trying to make a more "clean" and "clear" syntax work... 🤦 |

Example where
client.ApiClient(configuration=config.load_kube_config())is used:https://github.com/kubernetes-client/python/blob/master/examples/dynamic-client/configmap.py#L27
Link to where config function
load_kube_config()does not return anything:https://github.com/kubernetes-client/python/blob/master/kubernetes/base/config/kube_config.py#L799
Description of the issue (please include outputs or screenshots if possible):
I would assume that when configuring an ApiClient, I should send the argument of the configuration object. However, since the
config.load_kube_config()does not return anything, I feel that this example is wrong.I would assume I should do the following:
Since the
config.load_kube_config()has this in the description:"Loads authentication and cluster information from kube-config file and stores them in kubernetes.client.configuration."
So that the
client.Configuration()returned value is updated after being instantiated and thus can be passed to theapi_client.ApiClient(...)function.Can anyone please correct me if I am wrong? I am unsure of what the correct way to get an ApiClient.
Thanks in advance!
