Go Operator : ObjectMeta struct in CRD spec leads to incorrect spec YAML generation #6558
Description
Bug Report
// WorkloadSpec defines the desired state of Workload
type FooSpec struct {
FooTemplate appsv1.DeploymentSpec `json:"fooTemplate,omitempty"`
}
type Foo struct {
metav1.TypeMeta `json:",inline"`
metav1.ObjectMeta `json:"metadata,omitempty"`
Spec FooSpec `json:"spec,omitempty"`
Status FooStatus `json:"status,omitempty"`
}
Here FooTemplate is of type DeploymentSpec which contains a ObjectMeta in its PodTemplateSpec.
In the generated CRD yaml, PodTemplateSpec.ObjectMeta is turned-out as type object
When the CR is applied of type Foo, with foo.Spec.fooTemplate.template.metadata.labels` set as follows
following error is seen
error when creating "foo-cr.yaml": Foo in version "v1alpha1" cannot be handled as a Foo: strict decoding error: unknown field "spec.fooTemplate.template.metadata.labels"
What did you do?
Performed as described above
What did you expect to see?
CR of type Foo with '"spec.fooTemplate.template.metadata.labels"applied to cluster without an issue
What did you see instead? Under which circumstances?
