Is there a rule of thumb, which errors kubeconform will find?

[kastl-ars]

Dear Yann,

we stumbled upon a behaviour in kubeconform which we do not fully understand.

Say we have a deployment.yaml that contains a typo. We mistyped spec: and have written specDOESNOTEXIST: instead.

kubeconform does not complain and says the deployment is valid.

cat deployment.yaml| kubeconform   -summary
Summary: 1 resource found parsing stdin - Valid: 1, Invalid: 0, Errors: 0, Skipped: 0

However it catches an error where the number of replicas is given as a string, not an integer.

Shouldn't the specDOESNOTEXIST error be found? spec is mandatory in a deployment, at least that is what I thought. Is this simply not in the schema for deployment?

Thanks for the clarification!

Kind Regards,
Johannes
