Error while creating a pod using kubernetes client API - go

Question

I'm trying to create a pod using Kubernetes client api in Go and I've been getting below error in TravisCI,
ERRO Running error: buildir: analysis skipped: errors in package: [/home/travis/gopath/src/github.com/pravarag/test-repo/check_pod.go:25:70: cannot use desiredPod (variable of type *"k8s.io/api/core/v1".Pod) as context.Context value in argument to s.kubeClient.CoreV1().Pods(desiredPod.Namespace).Create: missing method Deadline /home/travis/gopath/src/github.com/pravarag/test-repo/check_pod.go:25:80: too few arguments in call to s.kubeClient.CoreV1().Pods(desiredPod.Namespace).Create
Below is the code,
import (
"fmt"
"go.uber.org/zap"
core "k8s.io/api/core/v1"
metav1 "k8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/apis/meta/v1"
)
func (s *server) createPod() {
// build the pod definition
desiredPod := getPodObjet()
pod, err := s.kubeClient.CoreV1().Pods(desiredPod.Namespace).Create(desiredPod)
if err != nil {
s.log.Fatal("Failed to create the static pod", zap.Error(err))
}
fmt.Println("Created Pod: ", pod.Name)
}
func getPodObjet() *core.Pod {
pod := &core.Pod{
ObjectMeta: metav1.ObjectMeta{
Name: "test-pod",
Namespace: "default",
Labels: map[string]string{
"app": "test-pod",
},
},
Spec: core.PodSpec{
Containers: []core.Container{
{
Name: "busybox",
Image: "busybox",
ImagePullPolicy: core.PullIfNotPresent,
Command: []string{
"sleep",
"3600",
},
},
},
},
}
return pod
}
I tried to check what that error is pointing to and it seems, the actual pod Interface in K8s client code here: https://godoc.org/k8s.io/client-go/kubernetes/typed/core/v1#PodInterface
is expecting 3 arguments: one is "context.Context", "pod *v1.Pod" and "opts metav1.CreateOptions"
I tried to pass the values as:
pod, err :=s.kubeClient.CoreV1().Pods(desiredPod.Namespace).Create(context.Context, desiredPod, opts metav1.CreateOptions{})
But that doesn't work also. Even in the IDE, the code lint is pointing to missing arguments but I've seen couple of examples used to create a pod in above mentioned way that worked previously.

just use context.TODO() as argument to pass context.
try this one.
pod, err := s.kubeClient.CoreV1().Pods(desiredPod.Namespace).Create( context.TODO(), desiredPod , metav1.CreateOptions{})
here is the updated code:
import (
"fmt"
"context"
"go.uber.org/zap"
core "k8s.io/api/core/v1"
metav1 "k8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/apis/meta/v1"
)
func (s *server) createPod() {
// build the pod definition
desiredPod := getPodObjet()
pod, err := s.kubeClient.CoreV1().Pods(desiredPod.Namespace).Create( context.TODO(), desiredPod , metav1.CreateOptions{})
if err != nil {
s.log.Fatal("Failed to create the static pod", zap.Error(err))
}
fmt.Println("Created Pod: ", pod.Name)
}
func getPodObjet() *core.Pod {
pod := &core.Pod{
ObjectMeta: metav1.ObjectMeta{
Name: "test-pod",
Namespace: "default",
Labels: map[string]string{
"app": "test-pod",
},
},
Spec: core.PodSpec{
Containers: []core.Container{
{
Name: "busybox",
Image: "busybox",
ImagePullPolicy: core.PullIfNotPresent,
Command: []string{
"sleep",
"3600",
},
},
},
},
}
return pod
}
