Deployment is not happening upon secret update

[Ashish04121997]

I'm facing an issue where I'm unable to detect changes in Kubernetes secrets. I wanted to verify if the Reloader is functioning correctly, but the pod's output looks like this:

time="2025-03-03T07:37:16Z" level=info msg="Environment: Kubernetes"
time="2025-03-03T07:37:16Z" level=info msg="Starting Reloader"
time="2025-03-03T07:37:16Z" level=warning msg="KUBERNETES_NAMESPACE is unset, will detect changes in all namespaces."
time="2025-03-03T07:37:16Z" level=info msg="created controller for: configMaps"
time="2025-03-03T07:37:16Z" level=info msg="Starting Controller to watch resource type: configMaps"
time="2025-03-03T07:37:16Z" level=info msg="created controller for: secrets"
time="2025-03-03T07:37:16Z" level=info msg="Starting Controller to watch resource type: secrets"

However, according to the official documentation, if the Reloader is working properly, the expected output should be something like:

Changes Detected in test-object of type 'SECRET' in namespace: test-reloader

Updated test-resource of type Deployment in namespace: test-reloader

I'm unable to troubleshoot this any further.

can you pls share the manifests for deployment and secret/configmap, also the settings in which reloader is configured (helm values file or reloader deployment yaml) ?

Alongside the manifests, please also share if the secret and deployment are in the same namespace. And if the reloader is running globally to watch all namespaces or a certain namespace.
