A panic during tests with Go 1.22 version

[franpog859]

I'm facing the same issue as described here. The workaround proposed is to revert to Go 1.21 version. I think it should work with the newest Go version too

controller-tools v0.6.1 is roughly 3 years old and v0.6 is not actively maintained anymore (we're now at v0.15)

All right :D I'm closing this issue as my new problems are more about non-existing commands or some breaking changes than this panic. Thanks

Btw, the same happens up to 0.12.1 with Go 1.22. Starting 0.13.0 it works ok.
