Description

A user on slack reports that their port forwards occasionally stop working.

  1. Tilt shows their resources as healthy.
  2. tilt get portforwards says "No resources found"
  3. If they comment out a port_forward and uncomment it, then the portforward starts working again.

We do not have an independent repro.

I've asked for the contents of their kubernetesdiscovery object the next time they observe this problem.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the intermittent failure and inspect the kubernetesdiscovery object when port forwards disappear. Compare the state before and after commenting out and restoring a port_forward, then document a confirmed cause and verify that port forwards remain available without requiring configuration changes.
