oc kustomize error - "couldn't make loader... must be a directory to be root"

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Issue

  • When running code with oc kustomize . receive the following error - it seems to be using a yaml file as a directory, however, this works in kustomize build . :
Error: couldn't make loader for gitlab-ci-sa.yaml: got file 'gitlab-ci-sa.yaml', but 'overlays/dev/gitlab-ci-sa.yaml' must be a directory to be a root
  • If running the command with kustomize build overlays/dev there is no issues with the current version :
{Version:kustomize/v4.1.3 GitCommit:0f614e92f72f1b938a9171b964d90b197ca8fb68 BuildDate:2021-05-21T17:30:04+01:00 GoOs:darwin GoArch:amd64}
  • Since kustomize is actually bundled in kubectl and oc simply acts as a wrapper around kubectl, this is a limitation from the kubernetes level.
