oc problems after upgrading to Mac Sierra

[rawlingsj]

The latest Mac OS update 'Sierra' is causing problems with golang binaries compiled with less than go 1.7.1. gofabric8 was hit by this but after compiling with 1.7.1 and releasing the problems seems to be resolved.

Problems running oc commands: deleting deployment configs sometimes hangs, oc get pods and oc edit dc foo intermittently causing panic errors, see the errors in gist...

• oc get pod https://gist.github.com/rawlingsj/8f732478abc5f9055e856cf9325224bc
• oc edit https://gist.github.com/rawlingsj/e2b5db98a3e2e31a8cb6262dc80a7d62

Version

oc v1.3.0
kubernetes v1.3.0+52492b4
features: Basic-Auth
kubernetes v1.2.0-36-g4a3f9c5

Steps To Reproduce

1. upgrade Mac to Sierra http://www.apple.com/uk/macos/sierra/
2. connect to openshift cluster, I was using an openshift dedicated instance
3. start interacting with the cluster using CLI commands as described above

Looks like go 1.6.3 should fix this
golang/go#16354

[rawlingsj]

Unfortunately I don't think that's going to be enough, our gofabric8 client was compiled with 1.6.3 when we had the issue reported. 1.7.1 has fixed it though.

[liggitt]

That's unfortunate and should probably be reported upstream if they think 1.6.3 resolved Sierra issues

[jimmidyson]

@rawlingsj We should probably check with all components compiled with 1.6.3 before reporting - it looks like it should work.

[jimmidyson]

Think they know it wasn't fixed in 1.6.3 - golang/go#16354 (comment)

@eparis @smarterclayton arguments for 1.7.1?

[fabianofranz]

This will likely bit everyone in Sierra on Origin, Online, and OCP 1.3, 3.3. I'm increasing the priority and we have to debate about a new 0.x release or just 3.3.1. @pweil- @smarterclayton @juanvallejo

[liggitt]

opened golang/go#17234 to track backporting the final version of the fix for sierra to 1.6.x, we'll see if it happens

[fabianofranz]

Upstream issue is kubernetes/kubernetes#32999.

[rafabene]

This bug is so unfortunate! I just updated MacOS to Sierra and now I can't use OpenShift/Kubectl anymore. @fabianofranz Do you have any updates on this bug? Is there any "urgent" release planned?

[rafabene]

WORKAROUND for people who already updated to Sierra:
Use the brew version: brew install openshift-cli It is already compiled for Sierra.

[fabianofranz]

@rafabene we're targeting 3.3.1 / 1.3.1. This is related to an issue with Go which can be reproduced on mostly anything compiled by Go < 1.7 and used on MacOS Sierra (including fabric8, kubectl for example). Our strategy has been to work on a port of the fix to 1.6.x on Fedora/RHEL which we will then use to compile the .1 release.

Meanwhile, the workaround is to compile oc and kubectl by yourself using Go 1.7.x (or use a tool that does that for you, like brew as you mentioned).

Fixed in 1.3.1 and 3.3.1.
