Kiali installation fails with No module named 'kubernetes.dynamic'

[FilipB]

Installation of current Kiali master fails with:

An unhandled exception occurred while running the lookup plugin
'kubernetes.core.k8s'. Error was a <class 'Exception'>, original
message: Requires the Kubernetes Python client. Try `pip install
kubernetes`. Detail: No module named 'kubernetes.dynamic'

Tested in OCP 4.8 and 4.9.

Kiali operator log attached:
kiali-operator-7c55cd898d-q5q2b-operator.log

This issue is not visible when using Kiali operator build '11575aa' so it's probably caused by kiali/kiali-operator#460

Did you rebuild the operator? This should be working - I suspect your internal processes are not building this correctly. You need to build with the new base image and you need to install the correct requirements now.

Where did you get your operator image?

(i.e. i don't think this is a bug)

this is the important part you are missing in your build:

Starting collection install process
Installing 'kubernetes.core:2.1.1' to '/opt/ansible/.ansible/collections/ansible_collections/kubernetes/core'
Installing 'operator_sdk.util:0.2.0' to '/opt/ansible/.ansible/collections/ansible_collections/operator_sdk/util'

Of course it's our internal process. We have OPERATOR_SDK_VERSION hardcoded in our job for some reason. Sorry, closing.
