Kube API Test dependency not resolvable

[ivanchuchulski]

Describe the bug

Hello, I'm trying to use the Kube API Test artifact in a project, but Maven is unable to resolve the dependency.

I see that in the New Features section of the release notes of 6.11.0 the Kube API Test is mentioned, but nonetheless the artifact isn't available in the Maven central repositoty. I've found this issue in which it was also mentioned the the feature should come in 6.11.0.

I also tried to use the 6.12.0 version, but the same problematic behavior is observed.

Fabric8 Kubernetes Client version

6.12.0

Steps to reproduce

1. Add the following dependency to a pom.xml file:

        <dependency>
            <groupId>io.fabric8</groupId>
            <artifactId>kube-api-test</artifactId>
            <version>6.12.0</version>
            <scope>test</scope>
        </dependency>

2. Run mvn clean install
3. The following error is observed from the command output:

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project kube-api-server-test: Could not resolve dependencies for project org.example:kube-api-server-test:jar:1.0-SNAPSHOT: Could not find artifact io.fabric8:kube-api-test:jar:
6.12.0 in central (https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2) -> [Help 1]

You're right, the release pipelines were not modified and the module has not been released 😞.

[ivanchuchulski]

Hello, thank you for the fast reply!

In the previous issue I've linked it was mentioned that somewhere you also have nightly builds I suppose from the current state of main branch. How those could be referenced/used?

[manusa]

Yes, I suggested that, but despite asking for feedback, apparently nobody tested the nightly build because the SNAPSHOT module isn't released either.

I'll try to merge #5898 today which should allow the nightly build pipeline to release the module in a few hours.

[ivanchuchulski]

Alright, thank you for the effort. I'm just asking again how can I use this nightly build, what you be put as artifact version? Maybe just 6.13.0-SNAPSHOT or something else?

Thanks and regards.

[manusa]

You need to add this to your project's pom.xml or m2 settings.xml

      <repositories>
        <repository>
          <id>sonatype-snapshots</id>
          <url>https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots</url>
          <releases><enabled>false</enabled></releases>
          <snapshots><enabled>true</enabled></snapshots>
        </repository>
      </repositories>

Then, set the Kubernetes Client version to the latest SNAPSHOT ---> 6.13-SNAPSHOT

[ivanchuchulski]

Hello, I added the settings you've mentioned, but the dependency is still not resolvable:
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project kube-api-test-tryout: Could not resolve dependencies for project org.example:kube-api-test-tryout:jar:1.0-SNAPSHOT: The following artifacts could not be resolved: io.fabric8:kube-api-test:jar:6.13-SNAPSHOT (absent): Could not find artifact io.fabric8:kube-api-test:jar:6.13-SNAPSHOT in sonatype-snapshots (https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots) -> [Help 1]

[rohanKanojia]

something is odd... I only see kube-api-test-parent being uploaded here https://oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/io/fabric8/kube-api-test-parent/

[manusa]

Yes, I was worried about that.
We need to manually add the child repositories too.

[manusa]

I have just released the SNAPSHOTS manually with the updated CI pipeline fix, could you please confirm if it's working now?

[ivanchuchulski]

Yes, now I've managed to resolve it. Thank you very much!

[manusa]

Awesome, I'll try to release a 6.12.1 patch version to make the module GA.
