What exactly does the State field in the rancher GUI pick up on? I have some custom resources that are ostensibly fine, but Rancher displays them as “Error” state

The resource has a fairly complex status: {} structure - I’m wondering if maybe rancher is picking up on status.conditions [ - lastTransitionTime: “2023-05-02T17:35:40.388252Z” reason: ClusterRequiresUpgrade status: “True” type: PendingUpgrade ]

By default the state is referencing the

metadata.state

object of a resource - which is returned by the Rancher API. You can see more information from the api itself on a particular resource by navigating to

<rancher_instance>/v1/my.custom.resource.definition

Can I do that for downstream cluster resources too?

ah I see rancher adds the metadata.state, but is there some sort of condition the custom resource needs to have for rancher to not add an error state to the object within its own API?

I get error: true with no message, but my resource exposes no current active error condition

state": {
"error": true,
"message": "",
"name": "error",
"transitioning": false
}
