Facing error after running skaffold dev command

Question

apiVersion: skaffold/v2alpha3
kind: Config
deploy:
  kubectl:
    manifests:
      - ./infra/k8s/*
build:
  local:
    push: false
  artifacts:
    - image: karan346/auth
      context: auth
      docker:
        dockerfile: Dockerfile
      sync:
        manual:
          - src: 'src/**/*.ts'
            des: .

Error

parsing skaffold config: error parsing skaffold configuration file: unable to parse config: yaml: unmarshal errors:

line 10: field des not found in type v2alpha3.SyncRule

Not able to fix the issue. Everything is setup correctly.

Also, is there any version that is stable and won't give errors in the future?

Answer 1

Error you're facing is:

line 10: field des not found in type v2alpha3.SyncRule

There's no field des in these api and kind.

Based on the documentation for manual file sync, field should be named as dest. See the example below:

build:
  artifacts:
    - image: gcr.io/k8s-skaffold/node-example
      context: node
      sync:
        manual:
          # sync a single file into the `/etc` folder
          - src: '.filebaserc'
            dest: /etc

Last available apiVersion of skaffold at the moment of posting the answer is skaffold/v2beta26.

It's always can be checked on skaffold.yaml documentation
