can't use "operator-sdk new" create go type operator

[BlueShells]

I am trying to create a go based operator by

$operator-sdk new $OPERATOR_NAME

but I got error :

Error: required flag(s) "type" not set
Usage:
  operator-sdk new <project-name> [flags]

so new command now only allow to create helm and ansible operator ? I have to use init to create a go operator ?

operator-sdk version
operator-sdk version: "v0.19.0-50-ga5daa916", commit: "a5daa9165aab65b3f2a1a98baa98fd656b4c09ca", kubernetes version: "v1.18.2", go version: "go1.14.5 darwin/amd64"

Hi @BlueShells,

See the changelog and the Migration Guide:

The operator-sdk new command no longer supports scaffolding new Go projects with the --type=Go flag. To scaffold new projects, users are expected to use operator-sdk init as part of the new CLI for Go operators. (#3190)

SDK is in a process to be integrated with KB which means that its project layouts will be aligned. More info : Integrating Kubebuilder and Operator SDK. Also, you can check that the quick start in the website is describing the tests with the init command now as well.

Note that the new still valid until at least 1.0.0 just for Ansible and Helm types.

I am closing this one as sorted out. However, feel free to raise new issues if you need some help.

Hi @camilamacedo86, I followed the link you shared, but it seems the migration guide has a broken link - https://master.sdk.operatorframework.io/docs/golang/project_migration_guide/. Is there another link I can follow? I've got an operator built with operator-sdk 0.18.2.
