Error running Makefile - controller-gen no such file or directory

[rscafidi]

Hello,

I've been trying to run the Makefile on a fresh Golang container (https://hub.docker.com/_/golang). I set up kubectl and made sure it's connected to my cluster.

When I attempt to run the make file, I'm running into an issue on line 118:
https://github.com/Apicurio/apicurio-registry-operator/blob/master/Makefile#L118
Specific error message is:

I haven't seen anyone else with this issue but I'm puzzled as to what's causing the issue, and the Makefile script is kind of hard to follow. If someone could point me in the right direction in troubleshooting this I'd appreciate it.

Hi, I think this is caused by controller-tools not supporting go 1.16 anymore and breaking compatibility. I've tried using go 1.17 and it seems to work, so I'll update the requirements. See kubernetes-sigs/controller-tools#643 . Can you test if using 1.17 works for you?

Did you you use the latest tag?
