Support exec command for deploy

[kadel]

User Story

• As an odo user
• I want to be able to use exec command as a deploy command (or as part of the composite command that is defined as deploy command as it is allowed by devfile spec
• So that I can use for example helm or kustomize commands in my deploy flow (see example)

Acceptance Criteria

• [ ]

/kind user-story

 ✗  Exec command is not implemented for Deploy

Example

/area devfile-spec

Try to have similar reusable code for exec command for various group kinds like deploy, build, etc. instead of having separate implementation of exec all over odo code.

The example devfile uses a container component to execute the exec command. In odo, we spin up such a container in the inner loop only. So for an odo deploy with an exec command for deploy would succeed only if the component is already running in inner loop.

How do we want to handle this situation? @kadel

Good questions. I would say that the container should be automatically created, and then when the command is finished, it should be deleted. But this is interesting discussion that we should probably bring on the Devfile level.

That would mean creating a k8s job with the spec of the specified container. Sounds doable at first glance. But certain attributes of a Devfile container component like endpoints, sourceMapping, dedicatedPod would be unnecessary/useless in this context. Of course, we could just ignore them and focus on the required attributes.

OK.
