Eclipse Che Logs

https://che-eclipse-che.che.127.0.0.1.nip.io/api/factory/resolver/ returns 400 and the response message is

Error occurred during creation a workspace from devfile located at `https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eclipse/che/HEAD/devfile.yaml`. Cause: Failure executing: POST at: https://10.96.0.1/api/v1/namespaces/mtsmfm-che/secrets. Message: namespaces "mtsmfm-che" not found. Received status: Status(apiVersion=v1, code=404, details=StatusDetails(causes=[], group=null, kind=namespaces, name=mtsmfm-che, retryAfterSeconds=null, uid=null, additionalProperties={}), kind=Status, message=namespaces "mtsmfm-che" not found, metadata=ListMeta(_continue=null, remainingItemCount=null, resourceVersion=null, selfLink=null, additionalProperties={}), reason=NotFound, status=Failure, additionalProperties={}).

Additional context

I can't find any log on che server component with the following steps:

1. Run the following command

$ kubectl logs -n eclipse-che -l component=che --follow

2. Do the Steps to reproduce

I think you can easily reproduce this problem with kubectl delete ns <yourname>-che

Duplicates #19236 and should be fixed #20167
Workaround - create at least one workspace.

@skabashnyuk Thank you for pointing out.
I searched issues with some keywords like "namespace not found" though I overlooked them.
