can't create a namespace

[that-soda-pop]

I am unable to create a new namespace using the api, I assume this is due to a check request done, since the error received is: Unsuccessful: ErrorResponse { status: "Failure", message: "namespaces \"my-new-8402e3c0-c4a2-40b7-827a-ecc3371380a7\" not found", reason: "NotFound", code: 404

I was able to serialize the json into a string and apply it using kubectl, looking at -v=10 i can see that kubectl sends a request to /api/v1/namespaces/my-new-8402e3c0-c4a2-40b7-827a-ecc3371380a7 and get s 404, however a post message is sent afterwards to create the namespace regardless.

If there's a different way to create a namespace please let me know

and thank you for the hard work.

A pure k8s-openapi-using solution would've used the x returned by Namespace::create with an HTTP client. Instead you're throwing it away and using s (presumably kube::Api) in the commented-out code. So you need to ask the library you could your s from.

I see, thank you for the info
