HTTP Add-on not working with other scalers or when scaled object is created separately

[utsav-simplismart]

Report

Http Add-on standalone is working fine. But when creating a separate scaledobject with httpscaledobject defined as external push trigger, it is not working.

Expected Behavior

It should scale even if the scaledobject is created separately with an external push trigger to the HTTPscaledobject.

Actual Behavior

When using httpscaledobject with below annotation and with minimum replica as 0, it is working fine. It is scaling from 0 to 1 when new request comes in.

annotations:
    httpscaledobject.keda.sh/skip-scaledobject-creation: 'false'

But when creating httpscaledobject with annotation set to true and with minimum replica as 0, it is not working even after creating a separate ScaledObject.

annotations:
    httpscaledobject.keda.sh/skip-scaledobject-creation: 'true'

The trigger in scaledobject looks like this:

triggers:
    - metadata:
        httpScaledObject: cognizant-keda-http-scaledobject # name of HTTPScaledObject
        scalerAddress: 'keda-add-ons-http-external-scaler.keda:9090'
      type: external-push

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

1. Create a HTTPScaledObject with below annotation with minimum replica as 0:

annotations:
    httpscaledobject.keda.sh/skip-scaledobject-creation: 'true'

2. Create a separate Scaledobject with trigger as below with minimum replica as 0:

triggers:
   - metadata:
       httpScaledObject: cognizant-keda-http-scaledobject # name of HTTPScaledObject
       scalerAddress: 'keda-add-ons-http-external-scaler.keda:9090'
     type: external-push

3. Send a request to target deployment/service.

I had a similar issue. What worked for me was naming the ScaledObject the same as the HttpScaledObject
