What is the reason for ERROR controller-runtime.source failed to get informer from cache error appear on envtest cluster?

Hi all,
Could you please help me figure out why I see below-mentioned informer errors when I launch my controller_test.go suite?

My suite_test.go follows the book examples:

package controllers

	"context"
	"path/filepath"

	ctrl "sigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime"

// These tests use Ginkgo (BDD-style Go testing framework). Refer to

var (
	cfg       *rest.Config

	RegisterFailHandler(Fail)

	RunSpecs(t, "Controller Suite")
}

var _ = BeforeSuite(func() {
	logf.SetLogger(zap.New(zap.WriteTo(GinkgoWriter), zap.UseDevMode(true)))

	ctx, cancel := context.WithCancel(context.TODO())
	defer cancel()

	By("bootstrapping test environment")
	testEnv = &envtest.Environment{
		CRDDirectoryPaths:     []string{filepath.Join("..", "config", "crd", "bases")},
		ErrorIfCRDPathMissing: true,
	}

	var err error
	// cfg is defined in this file globally.
	cfg, err = testEnv.Start()
	Expect(err).NotTo(HaveOccurred())
	Expect(cfg).NotTo(BeNil())

	err = srlinuxv1.AddToScheme(scheme.Scheme)
	Expect(err).NotTo(HaveOccurred())

	//+kubebuilder:scaffold:scheme

	k8sClient, err = client.New(cfg, client.Options{Scheme: scheme.Scheme})
	Expect(err).NotTo(HaveOccurred())
	Expect(k8sClient).NotTo(BeNil())

	Expect(err).ToNot(HaveOccurred())

	go func() {
		defer GinkgoRecover()
		err = k8sManager.Start(ctx)
		Expect(err).ToNot(HaveOccurred(), "failed to run manager")
	}()
})

var _ = AfterSuite(func() {
	By("tearing down the test environment")
	err := testEnv.Stop()
	Expect(err).NotTo(HaveOccurred())
})

I am running with the following versions:

	k8s.io/apimachinery v0.25.6
	k8s.io/client-go v0.25.6

Sorry, error on my side,
the defer cancel() was called in BeforeSuite, though it should've been called in AfterSuite()

Closing since it is answered.
