Skaffold reports attempting to sync with wrong pods

[demisx]

Expected behavior

Skaffold will sync only with pods that the file sync is enabled for and disregard everything else.

Actual behavior

Though, Skaffold seems to sync with the correct destination pod, it also reports not being able to sync with many other pods and a job which I didn't even ask it to sync with. This even includes pods from different namespace, e.g. "kube-system". This is what I'm seeing after modifying just one file publish-ad.spec.ts in default namespace. If I read the log correctly, it appears to sync in non-related pods, but skips them because they are not running at the moment.

Thank you @demisx this is definitely some confusing logging. We'll have to dig into it.

[dgageot]

I'll remove those logs since they are misleading. We wouldn't attempt to sync with those pods anyways since they are not using any image managed by Skaffold
