make[1]: *** [generate-manifests] Error 2
make create-workload-cluster exited with exit code 2

What did you expect to happen: A Hivelocity k8s cluster to get created.

Anything else you would like to add: No

Environment:

• cluster-api-provider-hivelocity version: latest
• Kubernetes version: (use kubectl version) v1.29.3
• OS (e.g. from /etc/os-release): mac os

hey there--let me know if this isn't the best place to ask this question, or if there's anything I can do to provide more information. Would love to use this provider!

@rgarcia I am looking at your issue now. A panic should not happen, even if the config is invalid.

BTW I see you use vps.md.amd. At the moment our controller only uses the API for bare-metal servers. We use these API endpoints: https://developers.hivelocity.net/reference/bare-metal-devices

Do you want to use caphv for bare-metal servers or VPS servers?

[guettli]

We have not tested it on Mac yet.

Could you try the same commands on a Linux machine or VM?

The error does not happen in our code. We just use the controller-gen tool.

I bump the version from 0.13.0 to 0.14.0. Maybe this solves the issues for you.

Please switch to this branch: tg/upgrade-to-controller-tools-v0.14.0

Then:

rm hack/tools/bin/controller-gen 

make generate-manifests 

You don't need to start Tilt for that.

Please tell us if running on Linux or the version bump helped.

@rgarcia The update of controller-tools was merged into the main branch. If you fetch the latest main branch, the error should be gone. Please tell us if this worked for you. And feel free to create a new issue if something is not clear.
