[Bug]: Unused variable warning in mutating_webhook.go

Checklist

• I've searched for similar issues and couldn't find anything matching
• I've included steps to reproduce the behavior

Affected Components

• K8sGPT (CLI)
• K8sGPT Operator

K8sGPT Version

v0.3.26

Kubernetes Version

v1.29.1

Host OS and its Version

Linux

Steps to reproduce

1. Go to 'mutating_webhook.go'
2. Scroll down to the code block where failures is appended for first time when service is not found case
3. Notice the warning "this value of failures is never used"

Expected behaviour

The failures variable should be used after being declared and appended to, or it should be removed if it's not needed.

Actual behaviour

In the file mutating_webhook.go, there's a warning indicating that the variable failures is declared but never used. This implies that in the current code structure, if an error occurs while creating services, we append the failure but continue the loop without storing it. As a result, this failure is never accounted for.

Additional Information

This warning could potentially indicate dead code or a bug where the failures variable should be used but isn't. It's also a code quality issue as unused variables can lead to confusion and make the code harder to understand. If this issue is valid then I want to fix this.

I'm assuming that you're talking about https://github.com/k8sgpt-ai/k8sgpt/blob/main/pkg/analyzer/mutating_webhook.go.
In that case,failures is not an unused variable, it is being used at:

k8sgpt/pkg/analyzer/mutating_webhook.go

Line 133 in 60853fe

if len(failures) > 0 {

Due to the continue statement, the code exits the inner for loop prematurely, causing line 133 to never execute. I also tested it in cases where no service is defined, and in such instances, it does not return any result.

continue

Ahh, now I get it. Great analysis!

Also, there is same bug on validating_webhook.go

k8sgpt/pkg/analyzer/validating_webhook.go

Lines 59 to 78 in 60853fe

	service, err := a.Client.GetClient().CoreV1().Services(svc.Namespace).Get(context.Background(), svc.Name, v1.GetOptions{})
	if err != nil {
	// If the service is not found, we can't check the pods
	failures = append(failures, common.Failure{
	Text: fmt.Sprintf("Service %s not found as mapped to by Validating Webhook %s", svc.Name, webhook.Name),
	KubernetesDoc: apiDoc.GetApiDocV2("spec.webhook.clientConfig.service"),
	Sensitive: []common.Sensitive{
	{
	Unmasked: webhookConfig.Namespace,
	Masked: util.MaskString(webhookConfig.Namespace),
	},
	{
	Unmasked: svc.Name,
	Masked: util.MaskString(svc.Name),
	},
	},
	})
	continue
	}

Yepp. I noticed this too in https://github.com/k8sgpt-ai/k8sgpt/actions/runs/7746749007/job/21166974081
