Repairing DWO installation

WARNING: The Standard Operating Procedure requires cluster admin persmissions.

1. Delete the devworkspace-controller namespace which contains the failing pod (Not needed if namespace does not exist)

2. Update DevWorkspace and DevWorkspaceTemplate CRDs by setting the conversion strategy to None:

spec:
  conversion:
    strategy: None # note .spec.conversion.webhook is removed here

NOTE: DevWorkspaceOperatorConfig and DevWorkspaceRouting CRDs have the conversion strategy set to None by default

3. Remove the DevWorkspace Operator subscription

oc delete sub devworkspace-operator

4. Remove the DevWorkspace Operator CSVs

❯ oc get csv | grep devworkspace
devworkspace-operator.v0.15.1                    DevWorkspace Operator   0.15.1            devworkspace-operator.v0.15.0                    Replacing
devworkspace-operator.v0.15.2                    DevWorkspace Operator   0.15.2            devworkspace-operator.v0.15.1                    Pending

oc delete csv devworkspace-operator.v0.15.1
oc delete csv devworkspace-operator.v0.15.2
