Witout TTY docker on CI

[albertoig]

I am triying to use kubeval on docker without TTY to validate YML on CI but give me this error "The document stdin appears to be empty". How i can use it without TTY?

[garethr]

Hi @albertoig could you post an example of the command you're running? I'll try and recreate.

Hi!

I am using Gitlab CI with some pipelines to deploy a project. I think is interesting to validate my YML kubernetes files with Kubeval. I execute on a pipeline this thing like this:

yaml-validator: stage: doctor image: garethr/kubeval tags:

• linux
• docker script:
• kubeval -v 1.8.1 ./deploy/*

If a execute on terminal it work because the docker commmand use TTY, but gitlab CI does not. Why the kubeval have to be TTY?

@albertoig I solved this issue by running kubeval with script e.g.script -q -e -c "kubeval -v 1.8.1 ./deploy/*"

@albertoig @johscheuer You can also redirect stdin from /dev/null: kubeval *.yaml < /dev/null

FTR the same thing happens when using kubeval in the context of an ansible template validation

    - name: setup-k8s | template image pull secret
      template:
        src: k8s/image-pull-secret.yml.j2
        dest: "{{ deploy_dir }}/010-image-pull-secret.yml"
        validate: '/usr/bin/kubeval %s'
      tags: k8s-tasks

TASK [setup-k8s | template image pull secret] ****************************************************************************************************************

stdout: The document stdin appears to be empty

the script -q -e -c workaround seems to work only for some cases where the < /dev/null doesn't work in any scenario

Having the same trouble here.... :/ can't find a way around so far...

I am using kubeval like this:

unalias kubeval 2> /dev/null > /dev/null || true
kubeval() {
    docker run \
        --rm \
        -v "${CURRENT_DIR}/.fixtures:/temp_kubeval/.fixtures" \
        -w "/temp_kubeval" \
        garethr/kubeval $*
}
export -f kubeval

then:

kubeval "./.fixtures/${PROJECT_NAME}/*" --strict

@garethr : Hi, we greatly appreciate your work on this. It helps us a lot when debugging helm on local with no access to a kubernetes cluster. We'd like to use it in our CI as well (gitlab-ci) (see the above post). Do you have any news on this bug ?

Hi, I am having the same issue here, we are using TeamCity CI to spin up a linux box and I pass a list of paths to kubeval: kubeval -v $K8S_VERSION -f $FILES_LIST_DEV it works locally on my machine but on the build agent I get: The document 01_deploy.yml appears to be empty

None of the workarounds above works for my case unfortunately.

Might come useful to specify that I copy the app from source and I install the binary while on #40 seems to imply that it might work when building from docker?

This is an issue with how kubeval decides to use STDIN vs reading files from arguments. You can very easily reproduce with the docker image provided

docker run --rm=true --entrypoint=/bin/sh -v `pwd`/fixtures:/fixtures garethr/kubeval:0.7.1 -c 'find /fixtures | xargs /kubeval'

I don't know why kubeval checks stdin's mode to decide to use stdin. Every other tool I know of just uses stdin if no args are provided or have - mean stdin.
