WIP ✨ Added Delete API and implemented a unified interface across all commands and plugin options by camilamacedo86 · Pull Request #5352 · kubernetes-sigs/kubebuilder

camilamacedo86 · 2026-01-04T13:22:25Z

Add comprehensive delete functionality to remove APIs and webhooks from projects. Users can now clean up scaffolded resources with automatic code removal, proper validation, and complete state restoration.

What's New

Users can now delete scaffolded APIs and webhooks from their projects:

# Delete APIs
kubebuilder delete api --group crew --version v1 --kind Captain

# Delete webhooks (all types or specific types)
kubebuilder delete webhook --group crew --version v1 --kind Captain
kubebuilder delete webhook --group crew --version v1 --kind Captain --defaulting

# Delete optional plugin features
kubebuilder delete --plugins=helm/v2-alpha
kubebuilder delete --plugins=grafana/v1-alpha
kubebuilder delete --plugins=autoupdate/v1-alpha

Key Features

Automatic Code Removal

Delete commands automatically remove marker-inserted code from cmd/main.go and test files:

Removes API/webhook imports
Removes AddToScheme calls
Removes controller/webhook setup blocks
Updates PROJECT file

Graceful Error Handling

If automatic removal fails:

Shows clear warnings (doesn't fail the operation)
Provides manual cleanup instructions
References code fragment constants for easy lookup

Closes

#907
