ExecutionConfig did not properly set defaultProvider when using executionIdRef

[fujin]

I had to delete my Executions and ExecutionConfigs for the Execution to recreate, to propagate into the ExecutionConfig.

hi, can you give an example?

Resolving only once is in fact by design of crossplane and the default behaviour to reduce overhead.

If you want to update references continously, you need a:

[...]
executionIdRef: 
  name: the-execution
  policy:
    resolve: Always
[...]

Can you try if that helps you please?

[fujin]

thanks! I'll try to reproduce, and try that, probably what we were missing.

[fujin]

Does the same behavior (resolving only once) apply to e.g. those using Selectors vs IdRefs?

[Breee]

Can you Provide a minimal example for me?

More background in this PR and the linked issues: crossplane/crossplane-runtime#328

It's a bit unintuitive that a Selector doesn't set policy.resolve to Always automatically, but seems it's necessary.

Do you still need help @fujin ?
