Reconciler error during awx-operator upgrade from 0.9.0 to 0.13.0

[Lukáš Kubín]

Hello,

I'm trying to upgrade my awx instance by updating awx-operator from 0.9 to 0.13. It's failing with "Reconciler error" in operator log:

{"level":"error","ts":1634480950.618683,"logger":"controller-runtime.controller","msg":"Reconciler error","controller":"awx-controller","request":"awx/awxtest","error":"event runner on failed","stacktrace":"github.com/go-logr/zapr.(*zapLogger).Error\n\tpkg/mod/github.com/go-logr/za...@v0.1.1/zapr.go:128\nsigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime/pkg/internal/controller.(*Controller).reconcileHandler\n\tpkg/mod/sigs.k8s.io/controlle...@v0.6.0/pkg/internal/controller/controller.go:258\nsigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime/pkg/internal/controller.(*Controller).processNextWorkItem\n\tpkg/mod/sigs.k8s.io/controlle...@v0.6.0/pkg/internal/controller/controller.go:232\nsigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime/pkg/internal/controller.(*Controller).worker\n\tpkg/mod/sigs.k8s.io/controlle...@v0.6.0/pkg/internal/controller/controller.go:211\nk8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/util/wait.BackoffUntil.func1\n\tpkg/mod/k8s.io/apimac...@v0.18.2/pkg/util/wait/wait.go:155\nk8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/util/wait.BackoffUntil\n\tpkg/mod/k8s.io/apimac...@v0.18.2/pkg/util/wait/wait.go:156\nk8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/util/wait.JitterUntil\n\tpkg/mod/k8s.io/apimac...@v0.18.2/pkg/util/wait/wait.go:133\nk8s.io/apimachinery/pkg/util/wait.Until\n\tpkg/mod/k8s.io/apimac...@v0.18.2/pkg/util/wait/wait.go:90"}

I tried to scale the awx deployment down to 0 and back to 1, with same error. It's running in Kubernetes 1.19.9 environment.

What might be wrong? Is it perhaps supposed to be upgraded by single version increments?
