failed to find matching virtualGateway for gatewayRoute

[seanlee10]

Hi, I'm following the tutorial and got stuck at creating GatewayRoute resource using manifest.

Versions

Kubernetes version 1.20
Platform version eks.1
kubectl client v1.16.8
kubectl server v1.20.4-eks-6b7464
helm v3.6.2
appmesh-controller v1.4.0
I have the following for creating the VGW and GatewayRoute and getting failed to find matching virtualGateway for gatewayRoute error.

VGW gets created successfully but somehow GatewayRoute cannot locate the VGW within the same namespace. I tried different combinations but wasn't able to create the GatewayRoute using the manifest. I can create one in the console without any issue.

I found some help from this link but still couldn't get past the error.

I found some help from this link https://github.com/aws/aws-app-mesh-controller-for-k8s/blob/master/docs/reference/vgw.md but still couldn't get past the error.

Error Message
