Description Sergio G. 2020-06-03 12:28:06 UTC
Description of problem:
Creating a custom project request template with a group definition makes the new-project command fail.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.4.4


How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add the next YAML to the default project request template in order to create a new group for each project:
  - apiVersion: user.openshift.io/v1
    kind: Group
    metadata:
      name: ${PROJECT_NAME}
    users: []

2. Create a new project:
  $ oc new-project sgarcia-test5

Actual results:
- Error from "oc new-project" command with --loglevel 10

F0603 14:23:07.412169  137744 helpers.go:114] Error from server (InternalError): Internal error occurred: the server could not find the requested resource


- Error from apiserver pods:
E0603 12:23:00.213738       1 delegated.go:241] error creating items in requested project "sgarcia-test5": the server could not find the requested resource



Expected results:
- The project and a group with the same name is created.

Comment 1 Stefan Schimanski 2020-06-03 13:11:35 UTC
Cluster-scoped objects are intentionally not supported in project templates, only those to be created in the new project/namespace. Admittedly, the error message is bad. Have retitled the BZ.

Comment 2 Sergio G. 2020-06-03 13:14:52 UTC
Thanks for confirming Stefan.
If besides changing the message to be more clear we add a note in the documentation explaining it that would be awesome.

Comment 5 Xingxing Xia 2020-07-06 06:55:04 UTC
Verified in 4.6.0-0.nightly-2020-07-05-234845:
$ oc adm create-bootstrap-project-template -o yaml > template.yaml
$ vi template.yaml # insert below before "parameters:"
- apiVersion: user.openshift.io/v1
  kind: Group
  metadata:
    name: ${PROJECT_NAME}
  users: []
- apiVersion: v1
  kind: ResourceQuota
  metadata:
    name: pre-defined-quota
  spec:
    hard:
      pods: "20"
$ oc create -f template.yaml -n openshift-config
$ oc edit project.config.openshift.io/cluster
spec:
  projectRequestTemplate:
    name: <template_name>
Wait OAS pods to be restarted. Then:
$ oc new-project sgarcia-test5 # the message is clearer now
Error from server (InternalError): Internal error occurred: user.openshift.io/v1, Kind=Group specified in project template is not namespace scoped
