Updating deployment.yaml doesn't reflect into openshift

[surnandi-git]

Type: Bug

Describe the bug

Since Auto Deploy is not happening, I was copying the image id and putting it into deplyment yaml to get the app refreshed. Performing the same in through code, isn't working.

Expected Behavior

Saving the deployment yaml file should be reflected into the OpenShift deployment. And a new pod should be created (terminating existing)

Current Behavior

It doesn't reflect change made into OpenShift, although it shows save. Upon relaod it brings the older file from server

Steps to Reproduce

1. Have a application created through using deployment from git
2. Estiblish webhook for auto build
3. Make some code change and observe the build
4. Capture the new image id from VSCode -> Image Stream -> Select your image and copy the image id
5. Go to VSCode -> Deployments -> Select your deployment (yaml opens up)
6. Update the image id in the deployment yaml
7. Save the file.

@datho7561 can you please look into this ?

We don't currently support this. The feature of loading the YAML for a resource on the cluster is intended to be read-only.

However, I think it's a good idea to apply the changes to the cluster when the document is saved.

@adietish how does intellij-kubernetes handle this? If I recall correctly, when the user saves the document, there used to be a pop up that asked if they wanted to apply the changes, but you changed it at some point? I can't seem to get intellij-kubernetes running on my computer right now.

yes, intellij-kubernetes notifies the user that the changes in the editor are not present in the resource that exists on the cluster. You can then "push" it to the cluster. Some users find this notification distracting though.
Saving to the cluster is a bit tricky. The cluster may have updates (ex. resource version, UUID, etc.) that you dont have in your local document yet. The way to avoid conflicts is by doing so called server-side-apply. You send the document to the cluser and it'll merge it: https://kubernetes.io/docs/reference/using-api/server-side-apply/
