pod.status.phase = Failed (incorrectly?) marked as CurrentStatus

[oistein]

I was trying to compute status of a pod and to my surprise it came back as Current when it really had failed. Given that this code has been here for almost 3 years, this might be on purpose? However, if not, please review this PR.

Hi @oistein. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a kubernetes-sigs member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work. Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

Instructions for interacting with me using PR comments are available here. If you have questions or suggestions related to my behavior, please file an issue against the kubernetes/test-infra repository.

@oistein So this is on purpose, although there are several alternative ways to handle this. The idea is that what kstatus computes is reconcile status, i.e. were the controller able to realize the desired state as expressed by a resource. And for a Pod, we consider that the desired state has been realized when the Pod is running, meaning that whether the Pod completed successfully or not is a consideration. A similar discussion is availabe in #329
