How to use field_selector

[TracyBin]

hi,I want to list service in specified namespace. I call list_namespaced_service,but output error.
This is my code:

field_selector = {'spec.selector': label}   //label:   {u'app': 'admin-test'}
service = v1.list_namespaced_service(namespace='default', pretty='true', field_selector=field_selector, watch=False)

error:

ApiException: (500)
Reason: Internal Server Error

  "apiVersion": "v1",

  "message": "invalid selector: '{'spec.selector': {u'app': 'admin-test'}}'; can't understand '{'spec.selector': {u'app': 'admin-test'}}'",
  "code": 500
}

If you know kubectl command to do this, just run the command with -v9 and you would see the format of selector kubectl sends to api server.

sorry,I can't find it. I have solve this problem by scanning all service to find specified service

[mbohlool]

I want to find service belong to the deployment,but failed depend on field_selector. The solution is that list all services to find specified one that match labels

@TracyBin Can you please reopen the issue? Looks like you have a snippet in the description that fails to work.

@dims ok, I have been reopened this issue

I ran into this as well.

Reading the docs shows it is a str, but doesn't give a good, valid, example of it anywhere.

This gets appended to a dictionary of items to pass into a raw request call down the line, in which kubernetes expects it in the form of 'key=value'. So, for example, if I'm trying to find a secret named star-cert, the following should return the object:

kube.list_namespaced_secret('default', field_selector='metadata.name=star-cert')

Dose field_selector support regex?

@YitongFeng I'm afraid not, https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/working-with-objects/field-selectors/#supported-operators
