Description Ed Seymour 2016-03-21 20:49:35 UTC 
Description of problem:
Create a template to provision a new Job (extensions/v1beta1) reports an "unknown type Job" error message when used. 
Use case was to create templates to run one-time jobs on demand with parallelism and completion, such as a bench mark test. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
CDK version beta5


How reproducible: easy


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a template for a Job
2. Use 'Add to Project' to request an instance of Job

Actual results:
Reported error 'unknown type Job'

Expected results:
It should create Job. Note: Jobs can be successfully created without using templates.

Apologies in advance if I'm triaging this incorrectly.
Comment 2 Andy Goldstein 2016-03-21 21:03:09 UTC 
Could you please attach your template?
Comment 3 Ed Seymour 2016-03-22 13:03:55 UTC

Example template using a Job

Attached is an example template that attempts to create a new resource of typeJob
Comment 4 Andy Goldstein 2016-03-22 13:19:34 UTC 
What openshift version are you running? I tested the latest master and it worked for me, albeit with a couple of required changes to your template. I had to set parallelism and completions to hard-coded int values instead of parameters, because the parameters turn into strings, and these values must be ints.
Comment 5 Ed Seymour 2016-03-22 15:30:34 UTC 
It was latest CDK beta - that may be why it didn't work, perhaps?
Comment 6 Andy Goldstein 2016-03-22 15:33:03 UTC 
What is the output of running this command? `openshift version`
Comment 7 Ed Seymour 2016-03-22 17:00:17 UTC 
openshift v3.1.0.4-16-g112fcc4
kubernetes v1.1.0-origin-1107-g4c8e6f4
etcd 2.1.2
Comment 8 Andy Goldstein 2016-03-22 20:38:22 UTC 
Maciej, are jobs supposed to work in 3.1.0.4? I know they work in 3.2...
Comment 9 Ed Seymour 2016-03-23 16:57:55 UTC 
To be clear, the Job works when not part of a template, it's only when I tried to template the Job that I hit this issue.
Comment 10 Maciej Szulik 2016-03-23 21:43:53 UTC 
Ed, that might be crucial information. Will look into this tomorrow morning.
Comment 11 Maciej Szulik 2016-03-24 14:02:57 UTC 
Jobs in 3.1 where only available if you specified to enable experimental API, but since you're mentioning plain Jobs work ok I assume you have that on, on the other hand 'unknown type Job' suggests it's not on.
Additionally between 3.1 and 3.2 there were more significant changes in how API is registered, it might be that templates don't work well with those, or rather didn't work well with experimental APIs. Can you verify if running cli version works for you:

oc process -f template.yaml -v URL=google.pl | oc create -f -
Comment 12 Maciej Szulik 2016-06-28 14:08:19 UTC 
Checked against latest master, it's working correctly. Moving to QA.
Comment 13 Weihua Meng 2016-06-29 08:19:00 UTC 
Jobs can be successfully created using templates. 
# oc process -f template.yaml -v URL=google.pl | oc create -f -
job "ab" created
# oc get job
NAME      DESIRED   SUCCESSFUL   AGE
ab        1         0            40s

# openshift version
openshift v3.2.1.3-1-gcbaf600
kubernetes v1.2.0-36-g4a3f9c5
etcd 2.2.5
Comment 14 Trevor McKay 2016-07-14 16:02:27 UTC 
fyi, I can verify that this was broken in 3.1 but appears to have been fixed later.

# oc version
oc v3.1.0.4-5-gebe80f5
kubernetes v1.1.0-origin-1107-g4c8e6f4

In my case, a yaml template containing a job could be launched from the CLI using oc process and running oc create on the resulting json.

However, if I uploaded the yaml template to a project via oc create and then tried to launch from the console via "Add to project", it failed with an unknown kind error.

note, using origin image tags from https://hub.docker.com/r/openshift/origin/tags/ and running allinone containers, this appears to have been fixed in v1.1.2 but was broken previously.
