failed to initialize server: failed to list connectors: not found

[jmazzitelli]

I'm trying to install a very basic, small Dex installation for testing. This was working with Dex 2.24.0, but upgrading to 2.30.2, and my Dex pod is now failing to start with the following error:

failed to initialize server: server: failed to list connector objects from storage: failed to list connectors: not found

That's the last error in the logs, but there's a bunch of error level messages before that which may or may not be related (see below)

I'm hoping someone knows what this error is telling me and how to fix it.

I'm running this in minikube version v1.24.0.

Now, the main thing to point out is I don't have any connectors in my ConfigMap - I don't need them (at least, I didn't in the past). I just have a staticClient (I just want to have an OpenID provider (Dex) with a single test user so I can test OpenID integration with my app).

The only change I made to the example ConfigMap is:

...
    issuer: https://192-168-59-105.nip.io:32000
...
    connectors: [] ####<<<<--- I don't need to setup all that github connector stuff, I don't need any connectors
    oauth2:
      skipApprovalScreen: true
      responseTypes: ["code", "id_token"] ####<<<<--- I added this
...
    staticClients:
    - id: kiali-app  ####<<<<--- I added this new staticClient
      redirectURIs:
      - 'http://192.168.59.105/kiali'
      - 'http://kiali-proxy.192.168.59.105.nip.io:30805/oauth2/callback'
      name: 'Kiali'
      secret: notNeeded
...

In case it helps, here's the logs:

looks like it was because this change did not make it into the release: 6865d84

I changed my image to be v2.30.2 and at least my pod is now in "running" state.
