Description

Describe the bug

I edit the CRD of the kubebuilder example:

Image

That is valid: Great!

  foo: bar

That is not valid: Great!

  does-not-exit: broken

But why are the metadata fields (labels, name, namespace, ...) considered invalid?

I see:

Property namespace is not allowed.yaml-schema: kubernetes://schema/webapp.my.domain/v1%40guestbook(513)


I attached the guestbook CRD.

guestbook-crd.yaml

Research direction

Reproduce the validation warning in VS Code using the attached guestbook-crd.yaml and the kubebuilder example, focusing on metadata fields such as labels, name, and namespace. Compare those results with the accepted foo and rejected does-not-exit fields; the issue is done when valid Kubernetes metadata no longer produces schema errors while unknown fields remain invalid.
