Creating a service doesn't require context, but odo service list does...

[kind/bug]

What versions of software are you using?

• Operating System: Linux
• Output of odo version: Master branch

How did you run odo exactly?

See below:

~/nodejs-ex  master ✔                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 324d
▶ odo service create dh-postgresql-apb --plan dev -p postgresql_user=luke -p postgresql_password=secret -p postgresql_database=my_data -p postgresql_version=9.6 --context ~/nodejs-ex
 ✓  Creating service [12ms]
 ✓  Service 'dh-postgresql-apb' was created
Progress of the provisioning will not be reported and might take a long time.
You can see the current status by executing 'odo service list'

~/nodejs-ex  master ✔                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 324d
▶ odo service list
 ✗  Please specify the application name and project name
Or use the command from inside a directory containing an odo component.

Actual behavior

No .odo in the directory of nodejs-ex and I'm able to create a service. When listing a service however, I require context / an .odo directory :(

Expected behavior

Being able to use odo service list without having to create a component.

Any logs, error output, etc?

[dharmit]

odo service create works without --app or --project values because of https://github.com/openshift/odo/blob/bff81fcda46f7672c6d002b3e27f7789366677c1/pkg/odo/genericclioptions/context.go#L163-L166

It assumes the default values for --app and --project which are app and myproject respectively. However, that's not the case for odo service list and it requires the user to pass --app and --project values to list services when working from outside a context/component. #2001

We also have #2051 open to track related topic.

as mentioned by @dharmit this issues looks like a duplicate of #2051. hence closing this issue.
