if err != nil { return err } <ins> // Wait for the PVC to get fully processed. This avoids races between PV controller and DeleteClaimEvent // below. err = wait.Poll(10*time.Millisecond, wait.ForeverTestTimeout, func() (bool, error) { obj := ctrl.claims.List()[0] claim := obj.(*v1.PersistentVolumeClaim) return claim.Status.Phase == v1.ClaimLost, nil }) if err != nil { return err } </ins> // trying to remove the claim as well obj := ctrl.claims.List()[0] claim := obj.(*v1.PersistentVolumeClaim)
