Actions-runner-controller: actions-runner-system namespace stuck on terminating

[kaykhancheckpoint]

Hi, the actions-runner-system namesapce seems to be stuck on terminating, after running the below command.

kubectl delete -f https://github.com/summerwind/actions-runner-controller/releases/latest/download/actions-runner-controller.yaml

If i try to output all the resource on this namespace i get the following:

kubectl api-resources --verbs=list --namespaced -o name   | xargs -n 1 kubectl get --show-kind --ignore-not-found -n actions-runner-system

NAME ORGANIZATION REPOSITORY LABELS STATUS
runner.actions.summerwind.dev/github-runner-2dflt-lq4n9 CheckpointGG Running

I tried deleting this resource manually but it does not want to go away. kubectl -n actions-runner-system delete runner.actions.summerwind.dev/github-runner-2dflt-lq4n9

Any ideas?

This worked for me in a much older version, not sure if its the same for you: https://github.com/summerwind/actions-runner-controller/issues/141#issuecomment-715393210

I eventually fixed this using https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/issues/60807#issuecomment-408599873, Although it could leave you with ghost resources, i went with it anyway because i had exhausted other options.

After the above, I apply then delete then apply again and it works. The reason i had to delete and apply again was because of some ghost resources that were not deleted properly during termination.

FWIW this issue should be re-opened and examined by the authors of the software as to why this is happening. So many people are running into this issue. This software is very alpha and there's always problem trying to remove, or upgrade it.

@onedr0p Hey! TD;DR; Please feel free to reopen and post more details of this problem. This is more or less an open-source project.

As the primary maintainer, I'd try my best to fix the issue in my spare time. Strictly speaking, no one's paying for me to fix issues so perhaps I have a right to not compelled to give user-support like, a paid software, right?

That being said, I'll help to investigate anyone's issues out of my- kindness? (I don't really know why I'm working hard maintaining and support various opensource projects without getting paid) It happens especially when the one who reported the issue is a long-time contributor to the project. But I believe that it doesn't mean I'll always investigate issues for you. It's opposite.

Hope this helps.
