K9s: EKS resource names are truncated so as to be unusable

Created on 10 Nov 2019  路  10Comments  路  Source: derailed/k9s

Describe the bug
EKS names are prefixed so have long arns of the form arn:aws:eks:<region>:<account>:name. When using k9s, we can only see the prefix.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Open an EKS cluster.
  2. See the problem as in screenshot.

Expected behavior
The left header column should be much wider to show the whole name. We could trim the prefix, but even removing arn:aws:eks: probably won't be enough. Any further suggestions appreciated!

Versions (please complete the following information):

  • OS: all

  • K8s all

@dperetti @hlascelles Thank you for reporting this! I'll take a pass at the header layout to make sure we can display your information optimally.

@hlascelles Thank you for this report! I see the issue and space is limited here. You can always change these names in your kubeconfig to something likely more useful to you than the aws generated names?

I was about to fill in a similar issue for namespaces:

I wish they were displayed in lieu of the logo ;-)
Seriously, there is plenty of space here so they should not be truncated. Some extra width would be great !

Agree with @dperetti, our screens give plenty of room up to the logo which can be used. :+1:

@dperetti @hlascelles Thank you for reporting this! I'll take a pass at the header layout to make sure we can display your information optimally.

@hlascelles @dperetti Made some improvements (or so I think) in 0.10.1. Please give it a rinse and report back if still not right. Thank you!!

Sorry don't see the change. I cannot differentiate between namespaces 4 and 5 (even though there is plenty of room on the right ;-))

@dperetti - Indeed Thank you for reporting back! Let's see if 0.10.2 cuts the cake.

Perfect now! 馃槏

Still no joy, can this be reopened please? The namespace work may be done, but the original issue is for the contexts. Here we still the first half of the long EKS context:

I'll open a new PR to explicitly focus on the the context / cluster / user. https://github.com/derailed/k9s/issues/473
