listing IPs for deletion: %w

Error message

listing IPs for deletion: %w

What it means

listServerIPs collects Scaleway flexible IPs tagged with the cluster tag so they can be deleted with the cluster. When the InstanceService ListIPs API call fails (pagination included via scw.WithAllPages), the error is wrapped with this message and returned, aborting resource listing for Scaleway clusters.

Solutions

1. Verify SCW_ACCESS_KEY / SCW_SECRET_KEY (or scw config) are valid and have adequate IAM scopes
2. Check the zone configured for the cluster matches where the IPs live (scw.Zone(c.Zone()))
3. Retry after confirming Scaleway API status — transient 5xx/429 errors resolve with backoff
4. Run `scw instance ip list` with the same credentials to reproduce the API error directly

Example fix

// before
export SCW_ACCESS_KEY=old-key
// after
scw login
export SCW_ACCESS_KEY=$(scw config get access-key)
export SCW_SECRET_KEY=$(scw config get secret-key)
kops delete cluster --name mycluster

// Pre-check Scaleway credentials and reachability before listing
if os.Getenv("SCW_ACCESS_KEY") == "" || os.Getenv("SCW_SECRET_KEY") == "" {
    return fmt.Errorf("scaleway credentials missing")
}
if _, err := c.InstanceService().ListIPs(&instance.ListIPsRequest{Zone: scw.Zone(c.Zone())}, scw.WithAllPages()); err != nil {
    return fmt.Errorf("pre-flight IP list failed: %w", err)
}

trackers, err := scaleway.ListResources(cloud, clusterInfo)
var apiErr *scw.Error
if err != nil && errors.As(err, &apiErr) {
    klog.Errorf("scaleway API error %d: %s — check credentials/zone", apiErr.StatusCode, apiErr.Message)
    return retryAfterBackoff(err)
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling ListResources on a Scaleway cluster where the Instance API ListIPs request (pkg/resources/scaleway/resources.go:148) fails: invalid/expired SCW_ACCESS_KEY or SCW_SECRET_KEY, wrong zone, network outage, or Scaleway API 4xx/5xx.

Common situations: Missing or stale Scaleway credentials in the environment; zone mismatch between the cluster config and API scope; Scaleway transient outage or rate limiting; deleted project still referenced by cluster config.
