Accessing a cluster with no access namespace resource

[almarzn]

Hello,

our cluster does not allow developer to access namespaces.

Sofka does not seem to support that very well, I am forced to use sofka -n everytime.

I tried adding namespaces to favorites/default ns in config.toml but it does not help.

Could you provide these details so we can identify the cause?

• Your Sofka version (sofka --version).
• The exact error and where it appears: at startup, when you press n, or when you open the Namespaces resource list.
• The relevant default_namespace and favorite_namespaces settings, including any cluster or context overrides. You can use :config to check which config files Sofka loaded. Please remove private information.
• Whether your favorites appear when you press n, and whether you can select one.

Please also try :ns <your-namespace> inside Sofka, then close it and start it again without -n. Does it keep that namespace, and can you view resources there?

The saved namespace for a context takes priority over default_namespace, so a previous selection of all namespaces could explain why the config default has no effect.

Thanks for your quick answer.

❯ sofka --version
sofka 0.28.0

The exact error and where it appears: at startup, when you press n, or when you open the Namespaces resource list.

Pressing n only shows the current namespace.

Opening :ns directly shows error: watch stream failed: ApiError: User XXX cannot watch resource "name...

Config

~/.config/sofka/config.toml

default_namespace = "vop-integration"

favority_namespaces = ["vop-integration", "vop-demo", "vop-platform", "flux-system"]

Please also try :ns inside Sofka, then close it and start it again without -n. Does it keep that namespace, and can you view resources there?

Yes, actually it worked :)

You have a typo in config :) It is favorite_namespaces, not favority_namespaces.

Oh silly me! Thanks :)
