panic: lease controller system if not using token auth.

[ipochi]

I am getting an error in one of the test setup for lease controller system

panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference
[signal SIGSEGV: segmentation violation code=0x1 addr=0xc0 pc=0x18b0c80]

line 315 in `/client-go/kubernetes/clientset.go` is the return statement

// CoordinationV1 retrieves the CoordinationV1Client
func (c *Clientset) CoordinationV1() coordinationv1.CoordinationV1Interface {
    return c.coordinationV1
}

So far, I've checked the the RBAC, verified via

kubectl auth can-i list/get/watch/create/update leases --as=system:serviceaccount:<namespace>:<serviceaccountname> -n <namespace>

yes

I've also checked if automountServiceAccountToken: true

Not sure, what could be the problem, but still we wouldn't wanna panic and gracefully throw the error or try to fall back to server count with a warning or something else perhaps ?

Found out what the issue is:

Lease controller system makes an implicit assumption that the agent server authentication is token based auth which results in k8s clientset being initialized properly. However if thats not the case then k8s clientset isn't initialized and crashes with the above error.

[cheftako]

Did you fix this?

[ipochi]

working on it.
