API ApiextensionsV1API_deleteCustomResourceDefinition wrong return type

[hirishh]

Hello,

I know that in general with the generic api I can workaroud all the model-cjson converting issues, but I still think it's important to report all the bugs.

I was playing with ApiextensionsV1API.h apis, and in particular with ApiextensionsV1API_deleteCustomResourceDefinition (https://github.com/kubernetes-client/c/blob/master/kubernetes/api/ApiextensionsV1API.h#L31)

Every call to this method returns a NULL v1_status_t* so I started to dig deeper.
This call should return a v1_custom_resource_definition_t and not a v1_status_t. That's why parsing is failing.

Best

Unfortunately, this is expected behavior. The RESTful API has multiple return types, but for now the code generator only generates a single return type. It is possible that we could update the code generator to return a union or something like that, but until that happens you will need to work around this. It is a common problem across many clients.

For clarity, it returns a v1_status_t when it takes longer than a certain time (async) and the actual object when the delete happens quickly (sync)

Ohhh ok, I didn't know about that. It's good to know! Thanks!

fwiw, there are various discussions of this, eg kubernetes-client/java#86
