Unable to use CRDs imported as modules

[nixx]

Describe the bug
When automating the configuration for NGINX Ingress Controller, we need access to the CRDs. Importing them as a golang module, is preferrable.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Running " go get -u github.com/nginxinc/kubernetes-ingress" will fail with " require github.com/nginxinc/kubernetes-ingress: version "v3.1.0" invalid: should be v0 or v1, not v3"

This is fixable with adding /v3 in the module name in go.mod.

Expected behavior
Expecting to be able to import the module.
I do get around it with psedo-versions (go get -u github.com/nginxinc/[email protected])

Your environment
v3.1.0
Kubernetes: N/A

Hi @nixx thanks for reporting!

Be sure to check out the docs and the Contributing Guidelines while you wait for a human to take a look at this 🙂

Cheers!

Hi @nixx the Ingress Controller is not really designed to be imported as a module. Can you share more info about your workflow and how you use it as a module? I think it's the first time we hear about this use case 🙂

Hi @nixx,
Thanks for reporting the issue. We are planning to make the module importable, so packages could be used by referencing v3.

reopening as merging #4152 is causing local build issue as described in #4324

@nixx which packages do you want to import to your module?

for the ref

Work on this item can be resumed when we get more information from @nixx, and possible target V4 (version 4.0.0) of the Kubernetes-ingress module.
