Origin: Openshift Client cant be used from outside

Created on 16 Sep 2016 · 9Comments · Source: openshift/origin

Openshift GoLang Client cant be used from outside. Even If I want to use openshift vendor folder still fails due compile errors.

Version

1.3+

Steps To Reproduce

package main

import (
    "github.com/openshift/origin/pkg/client"
    "k8s.io/kubernetes/pkg/client/restclient"
)

func main() {

    config := &restclient.Config{
        Host:     "localhost:8443",
        Username: "admin",
        Password: "admin",
        Insecure: true,
    }

    client.New(&config)

}

Current Result

cannot use &config (type **"k8s.io/kubernetes/pkg/client/restclient".Config) as type *"github.com/openshift/origin/vendor/k8s.io/kubernetes/pkg/client/restclient".Config in argument to client.New

Expected Result

Success

The near term plan is going to be expose openshift/client-go like Kubernetes exposes k8s.io/client-go. We are still waiting for that to be complete upstream before we switch though.

How far is "near term"? and do you have any work started in any sub-repo already?

We already have a RFE and a backlog story to track this, @smarterclayton can we close this one?

The goal would be to do it within the month.

Ok, thanks. Marking in my calendar to check this one in one month :)

@smarterclayton gentle reminder? Will we have something untill end of the month? We are working on AVI network integration for DNS + Virtual services. And now either we go for Java or Go :) and I want Go :)

We don't have any problem with using the existing go client outside of OpenShift - we use this in a number of utilities. For example, see https://github.com/fabric8io/exposecontroller/blob/master/exposecontroller.go#L49-L57 for the Kubernetes client & REST config creation & https://github.com/fabric8io/exposecontroller/blob/master/exposestrategy/strategy.go#L51-L55 for the creation of the OpenShift client from the specified REST config.

This works both in & out of cluster, using the standard rules for config file discovery (both user & service account).
