Operator catalog is created but now shown in the OLM UI

[ldimaggi]

Steps to recreate:
Start up an OS4 cluster

Create a CatalogSource:

cat devconsole.operatorsource.catalog.yamlapiVersion: operators.coreos.com/v1
kind: CatalogSourceConfig
metadata:
  name: devconsole-operator-catalog
  namespace: openshift-operators
spec:
  targetNamespace: local-operators
  packages: devconsole-operator
  displayName: Red Hat Devconsole Operator
  publisher: Red Hat

Apply the CatalogSource:

kubectl apply -f devconsole.operatorsource.catalog.yamlcatalogsourceconfig "devconsole-operator-catalog" configured

Verify the CatalogSource in the CLI:

kubectl get CatalogSourceConfig devconsole-operator-catalog -n openshift-operators -o=yaml
apiVersion: operators.coreos.com/v1
kind: CatalogSourceConfig
metadata:
  annotations:
    kubectl.kubernetes.io/last-applied-configuration: |
      {"apiVersion":"operators.coreos.com/v1","kind":"CatalogSourceConfig","metadata":{"annotations":{},"name":"devconsole-operator-catalog","namespace":"openshift-operators"},"spec":{"displayName":"Red Hat Devconsole Operator","packages":"devconsole-operator","publisher":"Red Hat","targetNamespace":"local-operators"}}
  creationTimestamp: 2019-04-25T17:19:11Z
  generation: 1
  name: devconsole-operator-catalog
  namespace: openshift-operators
  resourceVersion: "41007"
  selfLink: /apis/operators.coreos.com/v1/namespaces/openshift-operators/catalogsourceconfigs/devconsole-operator-catalog
  uid: 3e1a55ff-677e-11e9-8124-06472ef5fc02
spec:
  displayName: Red Hat Devconsole Operator
  packages: devconsole-operator
  publisher: Red Hat
  targetNamespace: local-operators

But - the CatalogSource is not displayed in the UI:

@ldimaggi According to https://github.com/operator-framework/operator-marketplace#catalogsourceconfig, a CatalogSource instance is supposed to be created behind the scenes from the CataloSourceConfig.
I cannot see that happen, see the following sequence:

(operator-test-env)➜  oc project openshift-operators
Already on project "openshift-operators" on server "https://api.pmacik.devcluster.openshift.com:6443".

Verify that no CatalogSoruce is not present:

(operator-test-env)➜  oc get catsrc
No resources found.

Verify that no CatalogSourceConfig is not present:

(operator-test-env)➜  oc get csc
No resources found.

Create a CatalogSourceConfig:

(operator-test-env)➜  cat devconsole.operatorsource.catalog.yaml 

apiVersion: operators.coreos.com/v1
kind: CatalogSourceConfig
metadata:
  name: devconsole-operator-catalog
  namespace: openshift-operators
spec:
  targetNamespace: local-operators
  packages: devconsole-operator
  csDisplayName: "Red Hat Devconsole Operator"
  csPublisher: "Red Hat"

(operator-test-env)➜  oc apply -f devconsole.operatorsource.catalog.yaml 
catalogsourceconfig.operators.coreos.com/devconsole-operator-catalog created

Verify that the CatalogSourceConfig is present:

(operator-test-env)➜  oc get csc -o=yaml

apiVersion: v1
items:
- apiVersion: operators.coreos.com/v1
  kind: CatalogSourceConfig
  metadata:
    annotations:
      kubectl.kubernetes.io/last-applied-configuration: |
        {"apiVersion":"operators.coreos.com/v1","kind":"CatalogSourceConfig","metadata":{"annotations":{},"name":"devconsole-operator-catalog","namespace":"openshift-operators"},"spec":{"csDisplayName":"Red Hat Devconsole Operator","csPublisher":"Red Hat","packages":"devconsole-operator","targetNamespace":"local-operators"}}
    creationTimestamp: "2019-04-26T07:47:48Z"
    generation: 1
    name: devconsole-operator-catalog
    namespace: openshift-operators
    resourceVersion: "440021"
    selfLink: /apis/operators.coreos.com/v1/namespaces/openshift-operators/catalogsourceconfigs/devconsole-operator-catalog
    uid: 96467ced-67f7-11e9-b95f-02c0b0e73e24
  spec:
    csDisplayName: Red Hat Devconsole Operator
    csPublisher: Red Hat
    packages: devconsole-operator
    targetNamespace: local-operators
kind: List
metadata:
  resourceVersion: ""
  selfLink: ""

Check for the CatalogSource:

(operator-test-env)➜  oc get catsrc --all-namespaces
NAMESPACE                              NAME                  NAME                  TYPE       PUBLISHER   AGE
openshift-marketplace                  certified-operators   Certified Operators   grpc       Red Hat     24h
openshift-marketplace                  community-operators   Community Operators   grpc       Red Hat     24h
openshift-marketplace                  redhat-operators      Red Hat Operators     grpc       Red Hat     24h
openshift-operator-lifecycle-manager   olm-operators         OLM Operators         internal   Red Hat     24h

So CatalogSourceConfig is created, but CatalogSource (which is supposed to be created from the CatalogSourceConfig) is not.

I just realized, that the CatalogSourceConfig should probably be placed in the openshift-marketplace namespace:

(operator-test-env)➜   oc get csc --all-namespaces
NAMESPACE               NAME                  STATUS      MESSAGE                                       AGE

openshift-marketplace   community-operators   Succeeded   The object has been successfully reconciled   29h
openshift-marketplace   redhat-operators      Succeeded   The object has been successfully reconciled   29h

(operator-test-env)➜   oc get catsrc --all-namespaces
NAMESPACE                              NAME                  NAME                  TYPE       PUBLISHER   AGE

Closing as not a bug - the approach followed was not correct.
