Experiment failed to start after chaos fault install

[JerryPan]

Question

What could be wrong with my setup in openshift: in UI the install-chaos-faults has completed with success, but the experiment (can be any kind) would be stuck.

The UI reported console log as :

1

The chaos-operator pod reported this error:

2025-02-25T20:29:20.209Z	ERROR	controller.chaosengine	Reconciler error	{"reconciler group": "litmuschaos.io", "reconciler kind": "ChaosEngine", "name": "pod-delete-e1uw8mjc", "namespace": "litmus", "error": "pods \"pod-delete-e1uw8mjc-runner\" is forbidden: cannot set blockOwnerDeletion if an ownerReference refers to a resource you can't set finalizers on: , <nil>"}

Litmus version: 3.0

kubernetes: 1.30.6

Appreciate any help.
