Question

What did you do?
using operator-sdk generated csv for my operator.

What did you expect to see?
should be able to deploy operator

What did you see instead? Under which circumstances?
E0721 10:14:34.138232 1 queueinformer_operator.go:290] sync "test" failed: {test-operator alpha {operatorhubio-catalog olm}} not found: rpc error: code = Unknown desc = no entry found for test-operator alpha

This error is looking in the operatorhubio-catalog's records for an alpha channel of test-operator. It seems like it can't find it. Could you have another catalog?

kubectl get packagemanifest will show you all the packages in your cluster and which catalog they are in. Check that out. Then you can get a specific package manifest to see if you have what you want.

You can also use grpcurl to query the catalog as long as it is a grpc type catalog. A couple other types exist, but if you are using them you'll know.

EDIT: Rereading your question. Yes, you can deploy an operator without a catalog by using the manifests in the deploy directory to create the SA/Role/RoleBinding and Deployment for your operator or by passing the generated CSV directly to the cluster to trigger OLM to do it for you. I forget how that's done exactly, but I have done it. It may have been as simple as kubectl create -f mycsv.yaml.
