camel-k: Unable to use Processor in Kamelet, unable to get logs either

Hi, if this is not the correct place to report this kind of issues, kindly point me in the right direction (even chats).

TL;DR: as part of a Maven-based project, I have some data transformation method which I want to use and define in my Kamelet in camel-k. So far I’ve tested with a Processor which prints out a property (start even smaller in scope), but both Kamelet and KameletBinding fail during build, or trying our a simple Integration flow with the same processor fail locally too. My main issue is that beyond a generic exit status 1 I don’t get much. What can I do, please?

What I’ve tried so far.

(propedeutic step) using flow with normal Camel

First, my dummy Processor is defined here. I define a very trivial flow:

- beans:
  - name: myp
    type: org.drools.yard.kdtable.KdtableProcessor
- from:
    uri: "timer:yaml"
    parameters:
      period: "5000"
    steps:
      - setBody:
          constant: "Hello Camel K from yaml"
      - process:
          ref: myp
      - transform:
          simple: "${body.toUpperCase()}"
      - to: "log:info"

If I try locally with camel (even before trying with camel-k in the picture) locally it works as I would expect, the property which happens to be defined in local application.properties is picked up in this case - or if I delete the .properties file, empty.

Attempt using Kamelet and Kamelet binding

I would have expected for a Kamelet to be able to incorporate the Processor/Bean without too much issues as described here. Unfortunately it does not work, but most importantly I’m not able to figure out what is the issue.

Example kamelet mmk.kamelet.yaml file:

apiVersion: camel.apache.org/v1alpha1
kind: Kamelet
metadata:
  name: mmk
  labels:
    camel.apache.org/kamelet.type: "action"
spec:
  definition:
    title: "mmk"
    description: prova
    properties:
      milliseconds:
        title: Milliseconds
        description: The number of milliseconds of delay
        type: integer
        example: 1000
      yard.kdtable:
        title: prova
        description: prova
        type: object
  dependencies:
  - "camel:core"
  - "camel:kamelet"
  - "github:kiegroup/yard/kamelet"
  template:
    beans:
      - name: myp
        type: org.drools.yard.kdtable.KdtableProcessor
    from:
      uri: "kamelet:source"
      steps:
      - process:
          ref: myp
      - to: "log:info"

Please notice supplied github:kiegroup/yard/kamelet which is the correct branch, per Camel doc.

example kamelet binding timer-source-binding.yaml file:

apiVersion: camel.apache.org/v1alpha1
kind: KameletBinding
metadata:
  name: timer-source-binding
spec:
  source:
    ref:
      kind: Kamelet
      apiVersion: camel.apache.org/v1alpha1
      name: timer-source
    properties:
      message: hello world
      period: 5000
  sink:
    ref:
      kind: Kamelet
      apiVersion: camel.apache.org/v1alpha1
      name: mmk
    properties:
      yard.kdtable: my asd value in KameletBinding

as I apply both files on K8s (minikube) everything seems to kick-start, but then the build fails.

I have tried to apply the SOP as described in the Camel doc here. Unfortunately is not very helpful:

$ kubectl get builds.camel.apache.org -o json \
> | jq -r '.items[]
> | select(.status.phase == "Error")
> | "-n \(.metadata.namespace) builds.camel.apache.org/\(.metadata.name)"' \
> | xargs -L1 kubectl get -o jsonpath='{.metadata.namespace}{"/"}{.metadata.name}{"\nError: "}{.status.error}{"\n"}'
default/kit-ceee81ifluhc7399ij5g
Error: failure while building project: : exit status 1
default/kit-ceeeiaafluhc7399ij90
Error: failure while building project: : exit status 1

attempt to use Integration flow

As suggested in the Camel doc for troubleshooting, I’ve tried to redefine the flow as an Integration from the step1 above, so I just added the modeline for the same, resulting in:

# camel-k: language=yaml dependency=github:kiegroup/yard/kamelet
 
- beans:
  - name: myp
    type: org.drools.yard.kdtable.KdtableProcessor
- from:
    uri: "timer:yaml"
    parameters:
      period: "5000"
    steps:
      - setBody:
          constant: "Hello Camel K from yaml"
      - process:
          ref: myp
      - transform:
          simple: "${body.toUpperCase()}"
      - to: "log:info"

but I’m met with analogous error:

$ kamel local run test.yaml --verbose
Modeline options have been loaded from source files
Full command: kamel local run test.yaml --verbose --dependency=github:kiegroup/yard/kamelet 
Command "run" is deprecated, consider using Camel JBang instead (https://camel.apache.org/manual/camel-jbang.html)
Error: failed to compute transitive dependencies: failure while building project: [ERROR] Failed to execute goal io.quarkus:quarkus-maven-plugin:2.14.0.Final:build (default) on project camel-k-integration: Failed to build quarkus application: io.quarkus.builder.BuildException: Build failure: Build failed due to errors: exit status 1

exit status 1

How can I understand what’s the problem that causing exit status 1, please? So far, I’m not able to fetch the “internal logs” which might give any clue of the issue, and I haven’t found the case for this in the Camel manual (hope given enough proofs I’ve actually read it in the above report! 😅 ) Thank you in advance,
