DO288: Cannot finish first lab (ch01s10) of do288-4.10 using the web-console

[MSCHMEL]

Hi everyone,

yesterday I wanted to finish the lab ch01s10 only using the web-console for practice. I think deploying the app from git is very simple. In the end, I get my pod, my service and my route and the pods logs show that it is running fine.

However, when I then run the "lab grade" command, it says that there is no pod named "greet" running. When I then do "oc get pod", I see that there is a pod named "greet-<random numbers>". I assume that there is some field in the form that I did not fill out correctly. I think maybe the problem are the fields "Application name" and "Name". I entered "greet" as "Name" and tried "greet" as well as "do-288-apps" as "Application Name". However, the grading script always says that my pod does not exist.

I think I do not understand the meaning of those two fields. Can you explain their meaning to me and what exactly they do?

@MSCHMEL apologies for replying late, were you able to figure this out ?

[MSCHMEL]

@Chetan_Tiwary_ Unfortunately, I could not figure it out. I decided to just stick to creating applications via console commands in order to satisfy the algorithm. It would be nice to know what the problem is, though.

ok @MSCHMEL I will too check it from my side and will let you know if I can dig anything.

[Chetan_Tiwary_]

@MSCHMEL   did you check the project in which you created the pod ? app name, deployment, service, bc all should be  showing as "greet" .

[Chetan_Tiwary_ · Accepted solution]

ok I got your issue now : You did all correct It seems. Use name parameter only as it is mandatory : Application name grouping can be anything.

The lab grading script is definitely having an issue here but recall that this is a legacy course ( v 4.10 ) and is going to be removed from our catalogue on 30th September 2024. I guess this must have been fixed in the later version of the course, especially the latest one ( v4.14).

Thank you for checking this. That is good to know. I will move to a newer version of the labs.
