operator-sdk: Adding third party types.go to current scheme is not working

Bug Report

What did you do? 1: I have external types.go and hence CR : https://github.com/noironetworks/aci-containers/blob/snat-jayaram/pkg/nodeinfo/apis/aci.nodeinfo/v1/types.go

2: my operator code : https://github.com/gaurav-dalvi/snat-operator/tree/sdk-bug I am trying to use Nodeinfo object in my operator code. I added AddToScheme call in main.go but my client is not able to get those objects for me.

What did you expect to see? https://github.com/gaurav-dalvi/snat-operator/blob/sdk-bug/cmd/manager/utils/k8sutils.go#L79 This line should get printed

What did you see instead? Under which circumstances? Line did not get print in the logs. Object came as nil . There was not even error.

• Are you writing your operator in ansible, helm, or go? Go

Possible Solution NA

Additional context Based on this help : https://github.com/operator-framework/operator-sdk/blob/master/doc/user-guide.md#register-with-the-managers-scheme When external type exposes AddToScheme, you should be registering that in main.go of your operator code. I did the same. But my client is not able to get the object from apiserver.
