[BUG] Config dependency doesn't work when deployers are different

[mecampbellsoup]

I am trying to marry 2 skaffold files we have, one called cloud-app which builds our app and deploys it to k8s target cluster using helm deployer, and another called cloud-app-e2e-test-runner which is a simple playwright e2e test suite that we typically have deployed using kubectl deployer.

Here is my desired skaffold.yaml where I want to use cloud-app skaffold as a dependent configuration:

apiVersion: skaffold/v4beta9
kind: Config
metadata:
  name: cloud-app-e2e-test-runner
requires:
  - path: ../../../k8s-services/dev/skaffold-cloud-app.yaml
    configs: ["cloud-app"]
    activeProfiles:
      - name: production
build:
  artifacts:
    - image: cloud-app-e2e-test-runner
      context: ./
      docker:
        dockerfile: Dockerfile
        noCache: false
      sync:
        manual:
          - src: "tests/**"
            dest: .
          - src: "*.ts"
            dest: .
          - src: "package.json"
            dest: .
          - src: "playwright.config.ts"
            dest: .
deploy:
  kubectl: {}

The build and deploy steps in cloud-app config succeed, but then when it comes time to do the cloud-app-e2e-test-runner skaffold config, I get an error:

Deployments stabilized in 57.127 seconds
Cleaning up...

Possibly related to #8745.

it outputs error:

I think you forgot to add this role

Thanks for the suggestion, but unfortunately that isn't related.

(That error happens because this app applies sealed-secrets - so when I initially helm install, there's a bit of time lag in which our sealed secrets are applied in the cluster; and then the sealed secrets operator converts them into k8s secrets. Until that process is complete (usually just a few seconds) however we get those errors, but once the secrets are ready helm can complete installation.)

For the purposes of this issue, the only relevant log output is really:
