Hi @subh007. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a nephio-project 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.

1. Why are we removing this action?
2. Commenting out the action seems incorrect to me. Perhaps other dependencies on this make action should be removed, and then if people want to run it manually they still can (make generate).

@subh007 I have seen this problem before --- usually it happens when controller-runtime and a particular golang version does not agree... have you tried the latest versions?

We really can't just remove that make generate part --- it is used to generate all the Copy related methods
