kubernetes-ts-guestbook:

[ChrisEineke]

What happened?

I have an encountered an issue with the kubernetes-ts-guestbook example. On line 41, the code references the labels from the deployment's metadata:

        this.service = new k8s.core.v1.Service(name, {
            metadata: {
                name: name,
                labels: this.deployment.metadata.labels,
            },

but here those labels aren't attached to the Service. In fact, the labels property is completely missing. I thought that I may need to apply the metadata first:

                labels: this.deployment.metadata.apply(metadata => metadata.labels),

or the labels:

                labels: this.deployment.metadata.labels.apply(labels => labels),

but even that didn't work. Instead, I can only get it to work by referencing the same local labels as in the Deployment resource:

                labels: labels,
