Unable to find kustomization.yaml file

[msnelling]

I have the following error

Error: buildKustomizeOverlay: Kustomizer Run for path '.' failed: unable to find one of 'kustomization.yaml', 'kustomization.yml' or 'Kustomization' in directory '/mnt/c/Code/terraform/aws-infra'
   with module.kafka.data.kustomization_overlay.schema_registry,
   on modules/kafka/kustomize_schema_registry.tf line 1, in data "kustomization_overlay" "schema_registry":
    1: data "kustomization_overlay" "schema_registry" {

I am trying to deploy the Kafka schema registry using terraform. My codebase has the following layout

/
+-- main.tf
+-- ...
+-- modules/
    +-- kafka/
        +-- main.tf
        +-- ...
        +-- kustomize/
            +-- schema-registry/
                +-- base/
                    +-- kustomization.yaml
                    +-- deployment.yaml
                    +-- ...
                +-- overlays/
                    +-- dev/
                        +-- schema-registry.env
                        +-- ingress.yaml
                    +-- uat/
                        ...

My kafka module main.tf has the following kustomization_overlay

data "kustomization_overlay" "schema_registry" {
  namespace          = var.namespace
  common_annotations = local.standard_annotations
  resources = [
    "${path.module}/kustomize/schema-registry/base/"
  ]

  patches {
    path = "${path.module}/kustomize/schema-registry/overlays/${terraform.workspace}/ingress.yaml"
  }

  config_map_generator {
    name     = "schema-registry-config"
    behavior = "create"
    envs = [
      "${path.module}/kustomize/schema-registry/overlays/${terraform.workspace}/schema-registry.env"
    ]
  }
}

According to your code snippet it should probably be kustomize/base/schema-registry not kustomize/schema-registry/base

@pst Sorry, that's a mistake in my hand-crafted dir listing! I'll edit that now.

I see, that was the only thing that came to mind after reading the issue.

If it's not that, you can try and run the tests in your (I'm assuming) Windows/WSL environment and see if they fail. There's some code in the provider to fake a path for the kustomization_overlay and I can't of course rule out that there may be a bug there.

[msnelling]

I'm running the make test from my WSL environment and already seeing some tests fail. Would you like me to post the test output here or somewhere else?

[pst]

If the output is very verbose, it may be easier to put it in a Gist and just link that here.

Gist of test output https://gist.github.com/msnelling/7841d8af55957298942f66103e3d0b0b

The root cause is probably this: https://gist.github.com/msnelling/7841d8af55957298942f66103e3d0b0b#file-output-log-L43-L58 Not sure why though. I have a busy launch coming up. So I won't be able to jump on this. If you want to take a stab at it, I can review PRs after Monday (assuming all goes well). Just trying to play with open cards here.

[msnelling]

I'm not a go developer I'm afraid (more C++ and C#). The test was run from a directory that was symlinked to a dir outside of WSL. When I moved the dir to sit within WSL the tests run fine.

[msnelling]

To add a bit more info, I ran the following and the tests failed

ln -s terraform-provider-kustomization test
cd test
make test

So it seems it doesn't handle symlinks well, it's probably not a WSL specific issue.

I've hit this same error message after removing the .terraform directory and running init and plan again.

EDIT: I should add that I'm using remote Terraform state.

I'm using the data resource to modify a set of remote manifests - there was never a kustomization.yaml file anywhere, but it was working fine until I removed the .terraform dir.

data "kustomization_overlay" "argocd" {
  resources = [
    "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/argoproj/argo-cd/v${local.argocd_version}/manifests/install.yaml"
  ]
  namespace = local.argocd_namespace

  patches {
    target {
      kind = "ConfigMap"
      name = "argocd-cmd-params-cm"
    }
    patch = <<-EOF
      kind: ConfigMap
      metadata:
        name: argocd-cmd-params-cm
      data:
        server.insecure: "true"
    EOF
  }
}

If I add a blank kustomization.yml file in that directory, I get the following instead:

Error: buildKustomizeOverlay: Can not build dynamic overlay, found "kustomization.yml" in working directory.

So it seems it doesn't handle symlinks well

This is actually what's causing my issue as well.

The full path to this terraform project on my local filesystem is:

/home/flyte/dev/mycompany/clients/myclient/theirclient/infra/terraform-30-infra/prod

But I've shortened it as follows, using a symlink:

ln -s /home/flyte/dev/mycompany/clients/myclient/theirclient /home/flyte/dev/theirclient

And so:

# This works
cd /home/flyte/dev/mycompany/clients/myclient/theirclient/infra/terraform-30-infra/prod
terraform plan

# This does not work
cd /home/flyte/dev/theirclient/infra/terraform-30-infra/prod
terraform plan

it's probably not a WSL specific issue

I'm on Ubuntu 20.04

It's probably an issue with this code or the upstream code it relies on. If somebody wants to take a stab at sending a PR to fix this.
