I'm trying to save the contents of a configmap to a file on my local hard drive. Kubectl supports selecting with JSONPath but I can't find the expression I need to select just the file contents.
The configmap was created using the command
kubectl create configmap my-configmap --from-file=my.configmap.json=my.file.jsonWhen I run
kubectl describe configmap my-configmapI see the following output:
Name:         my-configmap 
Namespace:    default 
Labels:       <none> 
Annotations:  <none>
Data
==== 
my.file.json:
---- 
{
    "key": "value" 
} 
Events:  <none>The furthest I've gotten so selecting only the file contents is this:
 kubectl get configmap my-configmap -o jsonpath="{.data}"Which outputs
map[my.file.json:{
    "key": "value"
}]
The output that I want is
{
  "key": "value"
}
What is the last piece of the JSONPath puzzle?
There’s an open issue at the Kubernetes GitHub repo with a list of things that needs to be fixed in regards to kubectl (and JSONpath), one of them are issue 16707 jsonpath template output should be json.
Edit:
How about this:
kubectl get cm my-configmap -o jsonpath='{.data.my\.file\.json}'I just realized i had answered another question related (kind of) to this one. The above command should output what you had in mind!
