Problem to create a resource that is named `Namespace`

[remyleone]

What happened?

When I try to apply the following resource:

apiVersion: registry.scaleway.jet.crossplane.io/v1alpha1
kind: Namespace
metadata:
  name: main
  namespace: default
spec:
  forProvider:
    name: crossplane-namespace
  providerConfigRef:
    name: default

That got the following configuration:

package registry

import "github.com/crossplane/terrajet/pkg/config"

const shortGroup = "registry"

// Configure configures the registry resources.
func Configure(p *config.Provider) {
    p.AddResourceConfigurator("scaleway_registry_namespace", func(r *config.Resource) {
        // Identifier for this resource is assigned by the provider. In other
        // words it is not simply the name of the resource.
        r.ExternalName = config.IdentifierFromProvider
        r.ShortGroup = shortGroup
        r.Kind = "Namespace"
    })
}

I get the following errors in loop:

How can we reproduce it?

Try to create the mentioned resource using this provider: https://github.com/remyleone/crossplane-scaleway-provider

Hi @remyleone, Thanks for reporting. This is a known upstream issue for which we have proposed a fix. Meanwhile, the workaround is to choose a different Kind name than Namespace for the managed resource.
