To reproduce it without custom apps or templates.

1. Deploy a normal nginx deployment

cat <<EOF | oc create -f -
apiVersion: v1
items:
- apiVersion: v1
  kind: Namespace
  metadata:
    labels:
      app: nginx
      template: nginx-persistent-template

  metadata:
    labels:
      app: nginx
      template: nginx-persistent-template
    name: nginx-logs
    namespace: mycrdtests
  spec:
    accessModes:
    - ReadWriteOnce
    resources:
      requests:
        storage: 50Mi
- apiVersion: v1
  kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
  metadata:
    labels:
      app: nginx
      template: nginx-persistent-template
    name: nginx-html
    namespace: mycrdtests
  spec:

    template:
      metadata:
        labels:
          app: nginx
      spec:
        containers:
        - image: quay.io/sregidor/openshift-nginx
          name: nginx
          ports:
          - containerPort: 8081
          resources:
            limits:
              cpu: "1"
              memory: 128Mi
          volumeMounts:
          - mountPath: /var/log/nginx
            name: nginx-logs
            readOnly: false
          - mountPath: /usr/share/nginx/html
            name: nginx-html

          persistentVolumeClaim:
            claimName: nginx-logs
        - name: nginx-html
          persistentVolumeClaim:
            claimName: nginx-html
- apiVersion: v1
  kind: Service
  metadata:
    labels:
      app: nginx

  spec:
    ports:
    - port: 8081

    selector:

EOF



2. Create the crd

cat <<EOF | oc create -f -
apiVersion: apiextensions.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: CustomResourceDefinition
metadata:
  name: deploycustoms.samplecontroller.k8s.io
spec:
  group: samplecontroller.k8s.io
  version: v1alpha1
  names:
    kind: DeployCustom
    plural: deploycustoms
  scope: Namespaced
EOF



3.  Create the CR

cat <<EOF | oc create -f -
apiVersion: samplecontroller.k8s.io/v1alpha1
kind: DeployCustom
metadata:
  name: mytest
spec:
  deploymentName: 'ondedployment'
  replicas: 1
  image: quay.io/sregidor/openshift-nginx:latest
EOF



4.  Migrate



You will see after the migration that the CRD was created in the target cluster, but not the CR.

I've identified the upstream commit that caused this bug to start happening. I'm currently talking to upstream as to whether this commit can just be reverted or whether it was a necessary fix that needs refactoring to handle the original issue and the issue that was broken.

Upstream issue filed: https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/issues/2948
I've discussed the problem briefly with upstream developers. If they don't fix it in the next day or two I'll submit a PR upstream. Either way, once an upstream fix is in place, we can cherry-pick it into our velero fork.

Upstream PR submitted. Once it's merged, I'll cherry-pick it into our konveyor fork: https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/pull/2949

PR to pull this into our 1.3.0 release branch for the velero fork: https://github.com/konveyor/velero/pull/74

Verified using MTC 1.3
