Debug Kubernetes Operator-sdk v1.0.0 locally using Vscode

#operatorsdk #vscode #kubernetes #debug

Wrote this some time ago debug-kubernetes-operator-sdk-locally-using-vscode but due to changes in the Operator-sdk it's not valid for version v1.0.0 and greater.

here are the Steps to get debug running with v1.0.0

Go to Run\Add Configuration
Select Go from environments
Select Go Launch package

You should get the following launch.json

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "Launch Package",
            "type": "go",
            "request": "launch",
            "mode": "debug",
            "program": "${workspaceFolder}"
        }
    ]
}

Add an env for WATCH_NAMESPACE in the configuration so it looks like

{
    "version": "0.2.0",
    "configurations": [
        {
            "name": "Launch Package",
            "type": "go",
            "request": "launch",
            "mode": "debug",
            "program": "${workspaceFolder}",
            "env": {
                "WATCH_NAMESPACE": "your-operator-namespace",                
            }
        }
    ]
}
