HTTPScaledObject Vanishes Immediately after Creation

[fadebek]

Report

When a new HTTPScaledObject is created, it gets destroyed within seconds. When looking at the operator logs, it seems that something is deleted the CRD since I can see that it gets finalized. This is after upgrading from 0.6.0 to 0.8.0.

Expected Behavior

HTTPScaledObject should be persisted

Actual Behavior

The HTTPScaledObject is created but then gets immediately destroyed/finalized after 10 seconds

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

1. Upgrade from 0.6.0 to 0.8.0
2. Create a deployment
3. Create an HTTPScaledObject for the deployment

Could you share your HTTPScaledObject please?

[nikhildigde]

was this resolved??? I still face this issue

[linkvt]

Hi @nikhildigde , the issue was auto closed after one of the maintainers asked for more information but never received them.

Could you share some information about your environment that helps us reproduce and fix the issue?

1. Can you share your HTTPScaledObject YAML manifest?
2. What HTTP Add-on version are you running?
3. What KEDA version are you running?
4. What Kubernetes version are you running?
5. Can you share the operator logs showing the HTTPScaledObject being finalized/destroyed?
6. How long after creation does the HTTPScaledObject disappear?
7. Does this happen with all HTTPScaledObjects or only specific ones?
8. What does kubectl describe httpscaledobject <name> -n <namespace> show?
9. Are there any events or errors on the HTTPScaledObject?
10. Did you upgrade from an older version as well?

I'll look through the code to see if I find something, but answers to these questions would be really helpful 🙏

Hi @nikhildigde , pinging you as input would be helpful to debug this issue.

[nikhildigde]

I'll shared the details. But my question here is, is this the current behaviour expected or not? Nikhil Digde
