SAP BTP OPERATOR in our k8s cluster is crashing infinitely

[tarun00000]

Version: ghcr.io/sap/sap-btp-service-operator/controller:v0.5.4

I tried to make some changes and provision btp service instance and btp service binding.

But the service instance manifest had some issues and caused the BTP operator to crash .

2024-09-09T15:06:49Z INFO Observed a panic in reconciler: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference {"controller": "servicebinding", "controllerGroup": "services.cloud.sap.com", "controllerKind": "ServiceBinding", "ServiceBinding": {"name":"argocd-key","namespace":"default"}, "namespace": "default", "name": "argocd-key", "reconcileID": "6379c665-8827-448e-b162-006030fc2bc2"}

I am currently trying to delete the BTP service binding manually or forcefully, but it is stuck because the deletion process attempts to communicate with the BTP operator, which is in a crashing state And i do not have access to the btp operator namespace so I can not delete btp operator pod for reconciliation.

I also tried

try to delete the ServiceBinding argocd-key and remove its finalizer. but did not work. error I am getting is

 error: servicebindings.services.cloud.sap.com "argocd-key" could not be patched: Internal error occurred: failed calling webhook "mservicebinding.kb.io": failed to call webhook: Post "https://sap-btp-operator-webhook-service.sap-btp-service-operator.svc:443/mutate-services-cloud-sap-com-v1-servicebinding?timeout=10s": no endpoints available for service "sap-btp-operator-webhook-service"
You can run `kubectl replace -f /var/folders/24/pdjyg77x30gdnd70pcm2z7jw0000gn/T/kubectl-edit-3513063779.yaml` to try this update again.

Need your help, Thanks

Hi @tarun00000 This issue has been resolved in v0.5.10, you are using a very old version of the operator. please upgrade the operator and try again.
