Discussion:
What happened: given an empty namespace (no pods), if running: , kubectl errors with the message . What you expected to happen: kubectl should exit with status 0, since the condition to wait for is for all pods to be deleted, and that condition is already satisfied. How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible): run the example kubectl command Anything else we need to know?: Environment: Kubernetes version (use ): Taking the liberty of skipping other version information, since this is (I assume) purely a client-side bug

Seems like didn't fix it correctly: Test in this PR always passed because the always return nil error and visitCount == 1, and the type conversion always fail here:
thanks for the quick fix!

One use-case of is to wait for a lot of resources that you have just deleted. Unfortunately, this workflow is racy because will fail when encountering a resource that doesn't exist (yes, it's probably already gone). I suspect we should just consider 404 resources to be already gone and integrate that condition as part of the normal flow. /sig cli /kind bug

The PR merged, I think we're good now!

Hi. A similar issue was reported here: but the bot had closed it due to inactivity. So, creating a new one with details again. I am facing the same problem on my end. If a resource does not exist or is deleted, but you are using wait --for condition delete, it fails. There is a flag in delete to avoid such errors. A similar condition of flag must be in as well so that it does not fail with errors like below. Thanks.
