[pandu-bhojaraj-mf]

Hi All,

I created terratest go language script for validating kubernetees pods and services
I am using below functions in script for fetching services and pods

1. func ListPods - ListPods(t, options, metav1.ListOptions{})
2. func ListServices - ListServices(t, options, metav1.ListOptions{})

I am using below import statement for utlizing/invoking ListPods and ListServices functions

metav1 "k8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/apis/meta/v1"

When i run below command then go.mod file is getting generated successfully without any error

go mod init <module-name>

But when i run ANY of below command then i am getting error as k8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/util/clock: module k8s.io/apimachinery@latest found (v0.25.4), but does not contain package k8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/util/clock

go mod tidy
Or
go mod tidy -compat=1.17

Below is my go version

go version go1.17.8 linux/amd64

Link and screenshot mentioned here

Please help me at earliset as it is blocked for my Hackfest project accomplishment

This was working earlier around couple of months back but NOT working now :(

hi,
usually, I fix this by locking dependencies versions, apimachinery in this case(maybe k8s api and client-go too):

• remove go.sum
• in go.mod set the same versions as in terratest https://github.com/gruntwork-io/terratest/blob/master/go.mod#L47
• go mod tidy -compat=1.17
• may appear different errors in the code which will require fixing because of version downgrade

Hi @denis256

Thank you

Above solution is working fine

But i have one concern ,

Step #2 mentioned below is always manual , Is there any option to override this ?

in go.mod set the same versions as in terratest https://github.com/gruntwork-io/terratest/blob/master/go.mod#L47

[denis256]

Hi,
AFAIK there is no automatic option for this, in my projects, I use "template" repositories with copy/pasted go.mod from terratest and simply clone for each specific project

Thanks Denis , Let see , i will do manual copy for the time being
