Force a Rollout of a Deployment Config

[mpzfm1]

How can I perform a rollout of a DeploymentConfig? I just want to execute the following command in Python:

oc --context=test rollout latest dc/deploymentconfig -n projectest

The only method I have found is to edit the DeploymentConfig and update the "latestVersion" field of "status" :

This forces the rollout, but it's not the standard way.

    dc_resource = dyn_client.resources.get(api_version='apps.openshift.io/v1', kind='DeploymentConfig')
    deployment_config = dc_resource.get(name=deployment_config_name, namespace=namespace)
    
    current_version = deployment_config.status.latestVersion
    updated_deployment = deployment_config.to_dict()
    updated_deployment['status']['latestVersion'] = current_version + 1
    
    dc_resource.patch(
        body=updated_deployment,
        namespace=namespace,
        name=deployment_config_name,
        content_type="application/merge-patch+json"
    )
