CKA-Bashrc

bashrc

alias k="kubectl"
alias v="vim"

function ns () {
  kubectl config set-context --current --namespace=$1
}

export drc="--dry-run=client -oyaml"
export drs="--dry-run=server -oyaml"

When I run

echo $drc

it print out this
--dry-run=client -o yaml
but When I run

k run nginx --image=nginx $drc

It throw an error
error: Invalid dry-run value (client -o yaml). Must be "none", "server", or "client".
Note: I'm doing all this on Mac M1 Chip with zsh using ~/.bashrc

Hey Zia, yes variable expansion in zsh behaves a little bit differently to how it behaves in bash. This post explains how you can workaround: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6715388/variable-expansion-is-different-in-zsh-from-that-in-bash

In the exam the shell will always be bash so you won't need to worry about this problem.

hello @ZiaUrRehman786,
did you try "-oyaml" but not "-o yaml" ?

@kk-mm I tried both and in zsh. nothing work for me. no problem because in cka exam the will be sh
