This project is a simple plugin we wrote to showcase our struggles with extending Route actions using the console.action/resource-provider extension point.
We have closely mirrored the structure of a static plugin (console-app) which adds such extension points to Deployments and DeploymentConfigs etc.
Refer to the console-extensions.json
In one terminal window, run:
yarn installyarn run start
In another terminal window, run:
oc loginyarn run start-console
This will run the OpenShift console in a container connected to the cluster you've logged into. The plugin HTTP server runs on port 9001 with CORS enabled. Navigate to http://localhost:9000/customization to see the running plugin.
If you run this demo you will see an additional action appears for DeploymentConfigs screenshot but not for routes screenshot.
We do understand that for OpenShift 4.10 dynamic console plugins have tech preview maturity. However we are still curious to hear whether there is something we are missing as to why routes wouldn't be supported as a target of the console.action/resource-provider extension point or whether dynamic plugins are just not there yet implementation wise.
