Column Ready shows "-" for some CRDs

[guettli]

I see this output for my CRDs:

For some CRDs the Ready column is "True", but for some I see only "-".

If I use kubectl describe I see that the Status.Ready is true (a non optional boolean).

Why does linage show "-" instead of "True"?

Hi @guettli, for CRDs we fallback to these JSON paths to obtain the values to populate the "Ready" & "Status" columns:

kube-lineage/internal/printers/printers_humanreadable.go

Lines 40 to 45 in 6d0e8cf

	// objectReadyReasonJSONPath is the JSON path to get a Kubernetes object's
	// "Ready" condition reason.
	objectReadyReasonJSONPath = newJSONPath("reason", "{.status.conditions[?(@.type==\"Ready\")].reason}")
	// objectReadyStatusJSONPath is the JSON path to get a Kubernetes object's
	// "Ready" condition status.
	objectReadyStatusJSONPath = newJSONPath("status", "{.status.conditions[?(@.type==\"Ready\")].status}")

I can look further into this for you if you are okay with sharing the full YAML manifests (with sensitive information redacted) of those custom resources that you expect not see - under the Ready column.

Thank you. This answers my question. My CRD uses status.Ready.

I think we will upgrade it to status.Condition sooner or later.
