Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented here.

The format is based on Keep a Changelog, and this project adheres to semantic versioning.

Unreleased

Added

  • Implemented kele-deployment-restart for restarting Deployments.
  • kele-resource now has a dedicated section for kind-specific actions that populates based on the resource kind you selected.

Fixed

  • Fixed a bug where kubeconfig cluster entries with uppercase letters in the server address erroneously cause resource kind completion to silently fail and show no kinds present in cluster

Changed

  • Added dependency memoize
  • The kele-resource suffixes now disable themselves if you don’t have the required permissions. For example, if you don’t have permission to list Pods, the l keybinding will be grayed out and inaccessible.

0.5.0

Added

  • Menu bar integration. Now you can access common tasks via the Kubernetes section on the menu bar
  • Added ability to switch contexts from within the menu bar; available contexts are shown as a sub-menu
  • Added ability to switch the default namespace of the current context from within the menu bar; available namespaces are shown as a sub-menu
  • Added ability to specify that cached names of a specific resource should never expire

Fixed

  • Fixed a bug where a proxy server is sometimes initialized on a privileged port, resulting in TCP permission denied errors

Changed

  • Changed the default cache expiration time for namespaces from 600 seconds to never, since the set of namespaces in a cluster rarely if ever change. You can use kele-cache-namespaces to force-refresh them as needed.
  • Namespace selection now checks whether or not you have permission to list namespaces from the cluster and falls back to verbatim string when you don’t

0.4.2

Fixed

  • Fixed a bug where kele-mode errors out when the kubeconfig file does not exist yet
  • Fixed a bug where curl errors are not properly caught, resulting in attempts to query the kubectl proxy server before it is ready

Changed

  • Bumped dependency plz from 0.3 to 0.7.3

Removed

0.4.1

Fixed

  • Fixed an issue where Kele can exhaust the number of file descriptors available for Emacs to use.
  • Fixed an issue where command families that require proxy servers, e.g. kele-resource, result in false-positive timeout errors when starting up the proxy server.

Changed

  • Discovery cache polling is now timer-based instead of “dynamic,” i.e. in response to filesystem changes.

0.4.0

Lots of fun stuff in this release.

Most importantly, Kele 0.4.0 introduces kele-list (s-k <resource type> l) and – with it – the ability to list all resources of a given type in tabulated form. Before, you could only fetch single resources. Now, with kele-list, you can create ad-hoc “overviews” of specific resource types within a given context and namespace; hitting Enter on any entry in this list brings up the resource’s full manifest.

Kele 0.4.0 also introduces the kele-proxy command palette (s-k p) for starting/stopping proxy servers for contexts. It also fleshes out the Kubeconfig management command palette (s-k c).

For more details, see: How-Tos > Usage.

Added

  • Added a kele-proxy command prefix for managing proxy servers
  • Added a keybinding to kele-context to enable/disable the proxy server for the current context
  • Added a keybinding to kele-context for deleting a context
  • Added a keybinding to open kele-kubeconfig-path in a buffer
  • Added a keybinding to kele-resource to support listing out all resources of a given type (kele-list)

Fixed

  • kele-context and kele-resource now wait on kubeconfig sync completion to finish if one is currently in progress
  • Fixed a bug where force-enabling or force-disabling kele-mode (via either (kele-mode 1) or (kele-mode -1)) when kele-mode is already active or inactive (respectively) resulted in errors
  • Fixed an issue where attempting to invoke s-k <resource name> g sometimes results in the following error: transient-setup: Suffix transient:kele-resource::command is not defined or autoloaded as a command

Changed

  • Renamed kele-context to kele-config
  • Increased the default value of kele-proxy-ttl from 60 to 180
  • Binding for kele-get in kele-get-mode changed from U to g

0.3.0

This release focuses on providing Kele’s command palette and user interface with a scalable foundation for future growth. As Kele’s spread of user-facing commands grows, it becomes less and less reasonable to expect users to M-x everything.

To that end, this release adds the following:

  • A Kele command keymap that will allow keybinding-based access to all Kele-based functionality (see How-Tos > Customization and How-Tos > Usage for more details)
  • A spread of three Transient-based “prefix” commands – kele-context, kele-resource, and kele-dispatch – for nested command discovery and ad-hoc configuration, e.g. overriding the context and namespace to use for resource fetching. Again, see How-Tos > Usage for more details.

I’m optimistic that these two additions make Kele’s user interface much more pleasant and nimble, while also giving it ample room to grow in complexity and scope in the coming releases.

Added

  • kele-get resource name input now supports completion! 🔥
  • kele-get buffers now have keybindings for quitting and killing the resource display buffer
  • You can now press U in kele-get buffers to re-fetch and refresh the current resource
  • kele-get buffers’ front matter now outlines the available keybindings
  • Added a kele-dispatch command for when you forget the specific keybinding of what you’re trying to accomplish
  • Added a kele-context command prefix for context-related actions
  • Added a kele-resources command prefix for acting on specific resource kinds, e.g. getting, with support for selecting the context, namespace, and the group-version to use (in cases of ambiguity)

Changed

  • Added dependency: s
  • Removed dependency: requests
  • Increased minimum required Emacs version to 28.1

0.2.1

This release focuses on refining the kele-get experience – usability improvements and general bugfixes.

Added

  • kele-get buffers now have a dedicated minor mode, kele-get-mode.
  • kele-get buffers now print a header detailing, for the resource under display: the context it was fetched from; and the time of retrieval
  • Added a custom variable kele-filtered-fields with which you can routinely filter out resource fields from display in kele-get

Fixed

  • Fixed an issue where kele-get results buffer incorrectly prints namespace for un-namespaced resources as nil
  • Fixed an issue where kele-get refused to display the retrieved resource, if a buffer corresponding to that resource already exists

Changed

  • kele-get completion for the resource type now only returns resources that support the get verb

0.2.0

This release introduces kele-get – kubectl get, the Emacs way 🚀. With kele-get you can interactively specify the kind and name of the resource that you’d like to get and display its manifest in a separate buffer. What’s more, it supports custom resources right out the gate – a long-standing functionality gap in kubernetes-el.

See How-Tos > Usage > Working with Resources for details and a demo GIF. It’s very much an MVP so there are some rough edges. Please open an issue for any peculiar behavior that you notice.

Added

  • Implemented kele-get for interactively getting and displaying a given resource
  • Context annotations now display whether a proxy server is currently active for the given context
  • Implemented interactive functions for per-context proxy server management: kele-proxy-start, kele-proxy-stop, and kele-proxy-toggle

Fixed

  • Fixed an issue where disabling kele-mode resulted in an error reporting unbound slot filewatch-id on kele--discovery-cache
  • Fixed an issue where cluster servers with ports, e.g. https://127.0.0.1:51134, were not recognized properly
  • Fixed an issue where namespace completion candidates failed to populate on initial fetch of said namespaces from the Kubernetes API

Changed

  • Buffer for contexts’ proxy processes are now hidden
  • Default value for kele-cache-dir is now ~/.kube/cache; before it was relative to the value of kele-kubeconfig-path (and unreliably so)

0.1.1

Added

  • Kubeconfig file watching is now asynchronous and therefore non-blocking!
  • Kubeconfig file watching now prints a progress report denoting when changes were detected (and thus reading has begun asynchronously) and when reading has completed

Fixed

  • Fixed an issue where proxies were being created for the current context, regardless of which context it was actually requested for
  • Fixed an issue in kele-namespace-switch-for-context where the selection candidates were pulled for the current context rather than the argument context
  • Fixed an issue where attempting to pull completion candidates via queries to the proxy API server resulted in an error, as well as multiple proxy server processes being inadvertently spun up for the same context
  • Fixed an issue where custom kubeconfig path is not respected by kubectl invocations

Changed

  • Added dependency: plz
  • Added dependency: async

0.1.0

Kele is born!

This initial release of Kele has a very simple goal: “kubectx and kubens, but make it Emacs.” Its feature set is limited but lays the foundation – both in terms of implementation and “design philosophy” – for future enhancements.

Added

  • Added ability to switch and rename contexts, with completion and caching
  • Added ability to switch namespaces for any given context
