unable to run the tests scaffold for the projects without the kb bin in /usr/local/kubebuilder/bin

[camilamacedo86]

The following error is faced when the KB is installed from master or its bin be added in another place when the tests are executed via the makefile targets:

  Unexpected error:
      <*fmt.wrapError | 0xc000109ec0>: {
          msg: "failed to start the controlplane. retried 5 times: fork/exec /usr/local/kubebuilder/bin/etcd: no such file or directory",
          err: {
              Op: "fork/exec",
              Path: "/usr/local/kubebuilder/bin/etcd",
              Err: 0x2,
          },
      }

An possible solution is to setup the bins as:

OS=$(uname -s | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')
ARCH=$(uname -m | sed 's/x86_64/amd64/')
curl -fsL "https://storage.googleapis.com/kubebuilder-tools/kubebuilder-tools-1.16.4-${OS}-${ARCH}.tar.gz" -o kubebuilder-tools
tar -zvxf kubebuilder-tools
sudo mv kubebuilder/ /usr/local/kubebuilder

if these files are required, integrating into brew is also helpful

[camilamacedo86]

Hi @georgettica,

If you run brew install kubebuilder it will install the binaries because they are shipped with Kubebuilder currently. The goal here is in the long term we do not need to ship them.

It was solved for v3+. See: #1626

So, when we are able to removed the support for v2 and removed it from the projects as was done for v1 it will be solved.

@camilamacedo86 I installed kubebuilder and they were not installed
