Determine what resource was not found from “Error from server (NotFound): the server could not find the requested resource”

Question

I\'m running kubectl create -f notRelevantToThisQuestion.yml

The response I get is:

Error from server (NotFound): the server could no

Answer 1

The cause of problem in versions:

From documentation

a client should be skewed no more than one minor version from the master, but may lead the master by up to one minor version. For example, a v1.3 master should work with v1.1, v1.2, and v1.3 nodes, and should work with v1.2, v1.3, and v1.4 clients.

Answer 2

From http://words.yuvi.in/post/kubectl-rbac/

Running kubectl create -f notRelevantToThisQuestion.yml -v=8 will print all the HTTP traffic (requests and responses!) in an easy to read way. In this way, one can identify which resource is not available from the http responses.

Answer 3

I have the same error when trying to do a CD with Jenkins and Kubernetes. In the pipeline I excute kubectl create -f app-deployment.yml -v=8 This image show more information about the error:

Answer 4

To solve this downgrade the client or upgrade the server. In my case I've upgraded server (new minikube) but forget to upgrade client (kubectl) and end up with those versions.

$ kubectl version --short
Client Version: v1.9.0
Server Version: v1.14.1

When I'd upgraded client version (in this case to 1.14.2) then everything started to work again.

Instructions how to install (in your case upgrade) client are here https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/tools/install-kubectl
