Add new function readNamespacedJobLog in the BatchV1Api

[dalejo96]

I want to get the logs from a certain job, but I am not sure about the right API to use, since on the terminal I do:

kubectl logs job.batch/my-job

I was expecting to find the function readNamespacedJobLog but it is not present in the BatchV1Api

How could I achieve this?

I can work on the PR if you provide some guidance.

Let me know what do you think

In general this client tries to stay true to the Kubernetes RESTful API, and the logs call is associated with a Pod, not a Job.

The kubectl command is a short cut which looks up the Job and then finds the right pod (and then finds the logs)

We do have a hand-written logs client here:

https://github.com/kubernetes-client/javascript/blob/master/src/log.ts

If you wanted to add additional functionality there which got logs for Jobs (and other resources if you feel like it) that would be the best place to add it.

Thanks!

Here is my workaroud using "@kubernetes/client-node": "^0.18.1"

    const labelSelector = `${JOB_NAME}=${name}`;
    const podList = await k8sCoreApi.listNamespacedPod(
      namespace,
      undefined,
      undefined,
      undefined,
      undefined,
      labelSelector
    );

    if (!podList.body.items[0]) {
      throw new CustomError('Error getting pod', 404);
    }
    const podName = podList.body.items[0].metadata.name;
    const podRes = await k8sCoreApi.readNamespacedPodLog(podName, namespace);

Where name is the jobName
