Unable to trigger delete/cleanup code

[jf1cloutier]

What happened?

I'm trying to trigger cleanup code on composite-resource deletion. According to the doc, I can use the variable 'ansible_provider_meta.{managed_resource}.state' to detect when the ansibleRun object get deleted. I created a simple ansibleRun object which only output debug information. I can see the expected debug output on ansibleRun creation but I don't see anything at all when the ansibleRun object is deleted. I read the doc few time and I believe I have the syntax right but I can't get the playbook to be triggered on ansibleRun deletion (on crossplane delete lifecycle event)

How can we reproduce it?

• Apply this simple configuration:

apiVersion: ansible.crossplane.io/v1alpha1
kind: AnsibleRun
metadata:
  annotations:
    ansible.crossplane.io/runPolicy: ObserveAndDelete
  name: deletetest
spec:
  forProvider:
    playbookInline: |
      ---
      - hosts: localhost
        tasks:
          - name: debug adding
            debug:
              msg: Adding
            when: ansible_provider_meta.deletetest.state == 'present'
          - name: debug removing
            debug:
              msg: Removing
            when: ansible_provider_meta.deletetest.state != 'present'
  providerConfigRef:
    name: default
---
apiVersion: ansible.crossplane.io/v1alpha1
kind: ProviderConfig
metadata:
  name: default
spec: {}

• Look at the log of the ansible-provider pod for output of this playbook run.
• delete ansibleRun object deletetest
• Observe the log and nothing is triggered. Impossible to perform cleanup action

I might have misunderstood the documentation, but it seems using the ObserveAndDelete policy and using 'ansible_provider_meta.{managed_resource}.state != present' should allow to trigger one playbook run on resource deletion.
