Kamel `bind` step index unclear

[squakez]

I was playing with kamel bind command and I realized that we use 0 index start when we play with step properties. Ie kamel bind ... --step my-step -p step-0.my-key=value. For usability I think we should improve this and let the user start with 1 index instead.

Hi @squakez, I tried reaching out to you on Zulip with a few questions. Could you please help with them?

Hello, I've already answered in the chat, though, it's easier for me following up here asynchronously. As a reference you can used the output produced by the following statement:

$ kamel bind timer:foo log:bar --step first --step second -p step-0.var1=1 -p step-0.var2=2 -p step-1.vara=a -o yaml

We must convert that index starting with 0 to start with 1 and having the very same output. Likely a unit test as the one available at https://github.com/apache/camel-k/blob/main/pkg/cmd/bind_test.go#L61 will help you making some good TDD approach.

I'm trying to test my changes locally by building the repository and replacing the binary in my /usr/bin, however, I get this error. I was successfully able to build this project earlier. Could you please help resolve this error? I'm not sure what is wrong here

[squakez]

Yeah, this one will fix the problem: #3222

In the while, you can temporary change that value manually on your makefile, and then, revert before committing, so it won't conflict during merge.
