Document URL: https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.6/operators/operator_sdk/osdk-getting-started.html#building-memcached-operator-using-osdk_osdk-getting-started Section Number and Name: Building a Go-based Operator using the Operator SDK Describe the issue: For 4.6, the operator-sdk version is v.0.19.x, But, it doesn't support the Golang type. [root@preserve-olm-env example-inc]# operator-sdk version operator-sdk version: "v0.19.4-5-gef0bc88", commit: "ef0bc885e40e6c86c0c079bea612b4eb908f6ec5", kubernetes version: "v1.18.2", go version: "go1.14 linux/amd64" [root@preserve-olm-env example-inc]# operator-sdk new memcached-operator Error: required flag(s) "type" not set ... ... --type string Type of operator to initialize (choices: "ansible" or "helm") FATA[0000] required flag(s) "type" not set Suggestions for improvement: We can use the Helm or the Ansible type instead, or still use the Golang type by using the "operator-sdk init", but the following steps are need to be updates bigly. You can refer to the steps for Golang type: https://v0-19-x.sdk.operatorframework.io/docs/golang/quickstart/ Additional information:
This issue is already fixed in PR https://github.com/openshift/openshift-docs/pull/31988 hence closing the bug.
