Cannot connect to Openshift using Intellij [OpenshiftException]

Question

I use the Github login credentials to enter to the Openshift Web Console (Next Gen) but I cannot using Intellij for deploy my application as the only way to login is using a token and the oc commands in the prompt. Is there a way to use my token to deploy using IDEA?

Answer 1

I am not sure about the Idea integration, but if I understand correctly you can provide a token. So why can you not do something like

oc login --token=<your-token> --server=https://api.preview.openshift.com/oapi/v1/users/~

So token you can retrieve from the developer preview website under the help menu.

Answer 2

As far as I'm aware of, there is no integration available between IntelliJ and OpenShift. The easiest form of deployment is a Github webhook which will automatically deploy upon commit. However, you can also easily deploy a local application by using oc new-app /path/to/app/directory , and you can even set up a service to push local webhooks to OpenShift

Answer 3

With IntelliJ IDEA 2018.3 there will be an option for this, via "Build, Execution, Deployment > OpenShift":
