How to create a middleware in Traefik v2.8.1 with K8s 1.21. Getting error middleware does not exist

Traefik Traefik v2
1

Team - Am trying to create and use an HTTP replacePath middleware (Traefik v2.8.1) and use it in Ingress resource with Kubernetes v1.21. Steps followed are as follows:

  1. Create a CRD for the middleware
  2. Create a middleware
  3. Update Ingress and add the middleware CRD

But am getting below error in Traefik logs. Can you please help in resolving the issue. Thank you

level=error msg="middleware \"replacepathmw-ns-replacepathmw@kubernetescrd\" does not exist" entryPointName=http routerName=test-traefik-ingress@kubernetes
