Help with linkerd-identity env variable

[rnsv]

When using proxy-injector webhook (linkerd.io/inject: enabled) in linkerd-identity to insert linkerd-proxy container, the env value LINKERD2_PROXY_IDENTITY_SVC_ADDR is being injected as

    - name: LINKERD2_PROXY_IDENTITY_SVC_ADDR
      value: linkerd-identity-headless.linkerd.svc.cluster.local:8080

instead of

    - name: LINKERD2_PROXY_IDENTITY_SVC_ADDR
      value: localhost.:8080

This results in health check failing with error - Readiness probe failed: HTTP probe failed with statuscode: 503

I am using version 2.9.1. This used to properly work in 2.7.1

What I am looking for is to mimic this behavior https://github.com/linkerd/linkerd2/blob/stable-2.9.1/charts/partials/templates/_proxy.tpl#L81 when using proxy-injector webhook for linkerd-identity

Thank you

Looks like there was a change made to this file that affects the output.

It looks like it might be the toString condition and if I understand the helm ternary function docs, this means that

(eq (toString .Values.global.proxy.component) "linkerd-identity")

returns true, whereas

(eq .Values.global.proxy.component "linkerd-identity")

returns false

Did you set a custom namespace or cluster domain when you installed Linkerd?

I am using custom namespace

thanks @rnsv do you have any other customizations? It will be helpful to see the value of the .Values.global.proxy.component value.
