gain an understanding of the problem.

> kubectl apply --validate=false -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jetstack/cert-manager/release-0.12/deploy/manifests/00-crds.yaml

> helm install \
  --name cert-manager \
  --namespace istio-system \
  --version v0.12.0 \
  jetstack/cert-manager

> helm install certificates . 
... 
> helm status certificates
LAST DEPLOYED: Thu Dec 12 17:16:16 2019
NAMESPACE: istio-system
STATUS: DEPLOYED

RESOURCES:
==> v1alpha2/Certificate
NAME                     AGE
xxxxxxx-cert  14h
xxxxxxx-cert    15h
telemetry-cert           44h

==> v1alpha2/Issuer
NAME                    AGE
certificate-dns-issuer  44h

Environment details::

• Kubernetes version (e.g. v1.10.2): v1.14.8-gke.12
• Cloud-provider/provisioner (e.g. GKE, kops AWS, etc): GKE
• cert-manager version (e.g. v0.4.0): 0.12.0
• Install method (e.g. helm or static manifests): Helm

When I try to:

> kubectl get certificates --all-namespaces
No resources found.

I do not see anything, but the certificates are correctly generated, so everything seems to work, but I do not have visibility.

The CustomResourceDefinitions:

kubectl get CustomResourceDefinition --all-namespaces | grep cert

Any idea?

Thanks!

Why did you close this? As the same thing is happening with me as well.

[Sergo007]

Try it
kubectl get certificate.cert-manager.io --all-namespaces
full name for crd certificate.cert-manager.io for v0.11+
for work kubectl get certificates --all-namespaces remove old crd with group 'certmanager.k8s.io' if you dont need old version cert-manager.
If the same resource is in different groups. kubernetes picks up by default from the group that deployed earlier.
