Description

Feature request

It would be nice to have a tkn command to port-forward to an EventListener.

Currently, users have to use kubectl directly and either have to find the pod that the eventlistener creates or rely on a naming convention that Triggers uses to create EventListener services.

kubectl port-forward service/el-my-listener 8080:8080
OR
kubectl port-forward \
 "$(kubectl get pod --selector=eventlistener=github-listener-interceptor -oname)" \
  8000
Use case
  • Locally testing/debugging/invoking a Trigger in an EventListener
UI Example
tkn eventlistener port-forward my-listener -n namespace 

tkn eventlistener port-forward my-listener -n namespace -p 9001 #optional port

Research direction

Start at the proposed tkn eventlistener port-forward command entry point and compare the kubectl service and pod port-forward examples in the issue. Done means an EventListener can be selected by name and namespace, an optional local port is supported, and the command enables local testing or invocation of its Trigger.
