The image name in initContainers should automatically resolve to a image stream name.

When using dc.spec.template.spec.initContainers and you set the image field to an image stream name, it isn't automatically resolved to an image stream name in the project as occurs for dc.spec.template.spec.containers. Being in a DeploymentConfig, I would expect it to, just like with normal containers in the pod. Instead it is necessary to set the lookupPolicy on the image stream to be local, or add the resolve-names annotation to the pod template.

Server https://127.0.0.1:8443

Steps To Reproduce

Use a oc patch --type=json patch such as:

[
  {
    "op": "add",
    "path": "/spec/template/spec/initContainers",
    "value": [
      {
        "name": "blog-htdocs-init",
        "image": "blog",
        "volumeMounts": [
            {
                "mountPath": "/mnt",
                "name": "htdocs"
            }
        ],
        "command": [
            "rsync",
            "--archive",
            "--no-perms",
            "--no-times",
            "/opt/app-root/src/htdocs/",
            "/mnt/"
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
]

and the deployment will get stuck when trying to start the init container as it can't work out what image is.

Instead use:

[
  {
    "op": "add",
    "path": "/spec/template/metadata/annotations/alpha.image.policy.openshift.io~1resolve-names",
    "value": "*"
  },
  {
    "op": "add",
    "path": "/spec/template/spec/initContainers",
    "value": [
      {
        "name": "blog-htdocs-init",
        "image": "blog",
        "volumeMounts": [
            {
                "mountPath": "/mnt",
                "name": "htdocs"
            }
        ],
        "command": [
            "rsync",
            "--archive",
            "--no-perms",
            "--no-times",
            "/opt/app-root/src/htdocs/",
            "/mnt/"
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
]

or run:

oc set image-lookup dc/blog

which adds the annotation on the pod template, then works okay.

Current Result

Doesn't resolve image name to image stream in init containers.

Expected Result

Since part of DeploymentConfig, expect it to resolve to image stream name like it does for containers in same pod.

Additional Information

None.
