Puppet Kubernetes Puppet resource command doesn t return the pod information

Question

I am using kubernetes with puppet with the help of puppet kubernetes module to manage pods of my kubernetes cluster as explained in this : https://github.com/garethr/garethr-kubernetes/blob/master/README.md

on executing the following command:

puppet resource kubernetes_pod

It doesn't return any pod information, instead it returns an empty line.

I am using a minikube k8s cluster to test the puppet module against : cat /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/kubernetes.conf

apiVersion: v1 clusters: - cluster: certificate-authority: /root/.minikube/ca.crt server: https://<ip address>:8443 name: minikube contexts: - context: cluster: minikube user: minikube name: minikube current-context: minikube kind: Config preferences: {} users: - name: minikube user: client-certificate: /root/.minikube/apiserver.crt client-key: /root/.minikube/apiserver.key

Communication with K8s REST API is successful on using curl command with the certs.

curl --cacert /root/.minikube/ca.crt --cert /root/.minikube/apiserver.crt --key /root/.minikube/apiserver.key https://<minikube ip>:844/api/v1/pods/

This could probably be a credentials issue or might be that you might have configured an empty namespace.

Make sure if kubectl get pods works fine, and that  ~/.puppetlabs/etc/puppet/kubernetes.conf file is generated as suggested:

mc0e@xxx:~$ kubectl config view --raw=true
apiVersion: v1
clusters:
- cluster:
server: http://localhost:8080
  name: test-doc
contexts:
- context:
cluster: test-doc
user: ""
  name: test-doc
current-context: test-doc
kind: Config
preferences: {}
users: []

There might be some version issues too..the module that you are using might not be updated, compatible with kubeclient gem version.
