Cannot to the OpenShift API during training excercise DO378

[Mark05]

Hi,

I'm following the "Red Hat Cloud-Native Microservices Development with Quarkus (DO378)" Course

and when running the "lab deploy-microserviceapp start" command to prepare for the excercise this error is displayed:

Checking prerequisites for Describing a MicroService Application
 Verifying the Openshift Cluster is running:
 . Log in to OpenShift as developer.........FAIL

Cannot connect to the OpenShift API. Please check your network connectivity.

 Since this is running inside VMs, I have no idea where to look.

I am able to open the OpenShift Admin Webconsole, so OpenShift is running.

Any ideas?

Thank you

Mark

To answer my question:

edit the /usr/local/etc/ocp4.config

add the info from the Lab Environment to these vars

RHT_OCP4_DEV_USER

RHT_OCP4_DEV_PASSWORD

RHT_OCP4_MASTER_API

and save.

run the lab script again

Enjoy

Hi Mark,

I tried to reproduce the issue you mentioned and here are the findings:

1) I first directly ran the command "lab deploy-microservicesapp start" and the result is it was failing for me.
2) I followed a different approach.

   2.1) I completed the "lab-configure" guided exercise. 

   2.2) Run the "lab deploy-microservicesapp start" command again and this time it was successful for me.

One more thing which I noticed is that Mark you are missing an alphabet 's' in the command and trying to run "lab deploy-microserviceapp start" instead of "lab deploy-microservicesapp start".

Can you follow the above steps and reply about the same?

Hi Shajain,

Thank you for your solution as it looks more appropiate than mine.

It also updates the /usr/local/etc/ocp4.config file.

So yes that works good, thank you.

the missing s is just a typo, did not copy and paste the command.

Thank you

Mark
