GlooEdge testing routes using glooctl

Question

Anyone worked with solo.io's glooctl command. I was working on the hello world example, https://docs.solo.io/gloo-edge/latest/guides/traffic_management/hello_world/

and everything went smoothly until the last step, testing the route rule:

bash % curl $(glooctl proxy url)/all-pets

which returns, "Error: load balancer ingress not found on service gateway-proxy curl: (3) URL using bad/illegal format or missing URL"

I tried putting what I thought was Gloo's "proxy url":

bash% curl $(glooctl gloo-system-gateway-proxy-8080)/all-pets

and bash% curl $(gloo-system-gateway-proxy-8080)/all-pets Error: unknown command "gloo-system-gateway-proxy-8080" for "glooctl"

So it doesn't like logical commands like "proxy url" and it doesn't take the actual proxy url.

Anyone fought this battle and won?

TIA

Answer 1

I believe the command is curl $(glooctl proxy url)/all-pets; what does glooctl proxy url return for you?

Answer 2

I use minikube, the problem is that EXTERNAL-IP is in pending state.

minikube tunnel solve the problem.

glooctl proxy url

Error: load balancer ingress not found on service gateway-proxy

kubectl get svc -n gloo-system

NAME            TYPE           CLUSTER-IP       EXTERNAL-IP   PORT(S)                               AGE
gateway         ClusterIP      10.102.152.223   <none>        443/TCP                               49m

The solution @northmorn provided works just fine, and the command on minikube is as simple as minikube tunnel. Thanks @Northmorn.
