feat: Enhance ArgoCD CLI: Dynamic Repo Server Retrieval with --core and --refresh Flags by Mangaal · Pull Request #17613 · argoproj/argo-cd

Mangaal · 2024-03-25T14:15:21Z

Description

When using the ArgoCD CLI client with the --core and --refresh flags, it's essential to provide the repo-server-name argument for the default ArgoCD instance deployed with operators. However, in some cases, users might forget to specify this argument, leading to errors.

Current Behavior:
Running the command argocd app list --core or argocd admin app get-reconcile-results --refresh text.txt without providing the repo-server-name flag results in a default value of argocd-repo-server. This default value is not valid for ArgoCD installations with an operator. The actual repo server name is derived from the ArgoCD CR name, such as example-argocd-repo-server if the CR name is example-argocd. Consequently, an error occurs due to the mismatch between the default and actual repo server name.

How to Reproduce the Issue:
To reproduce the issue:

1. Install ArgoCD with an operator.
2. Configure the ArgoCD CustomResource (CR) name, e.g., example-argocd.
3. kubectl config set-context --current --namespace <some-namespace-where-argocd-is-deployed>
4. Execute the `argocd app list --core` command without specifying the repo-server-name flag.

You will encounter the following issue:

FATA[0000] cannot find pod with selector: [app.kubernetes.io/name=argocd-repo-server] - use the --{component}-name flag in this command or set the environmental variable (Refer to https://argo-cd.readthedocs.io/en/stable/user-guide/environment-variables), to change the Argo CD component name in the CLI

Fix:

This pull request enhances the ArgoCD CLI by dynamically fetching the correct repo server name instead of relying solely on a default value. It queries the ArgoCD component services with the label app.kubernetes.io/component=repo-server and updates the repo server name accordingly. If the service query fails, it falls back to the default value. This ensures compatibility with ArgoCD installations using operators and improves overall reliability.

Additionally, this pull request addresses a bug documented in issue #17602

Output after fix:

-		repoServerPodLabelSelector := common.LabelKeyAppName + "=" + c.repoServerName
+		repoServerName := c.repoServerName
+		repoServererviceLabelSelector := common.LabelKeyComponentRepoServer + "=" + common.LabelValueComponentRepoServer
+		repoServerServices, err := c.kubeClientset.CoreV1().Services(c.namespace).List(context.Background(), v1.ListOptions{LabelSelector: repoServererviceLabelSelector})


Instead of deriving the argocd instance name from the services, can we not apply the label app.kubernetes.io/component=repo-server to the spec.template.metadata section of the repo server deployment and then use this label to get the right repo server.

Hi @anandf, I will update the implementation and add the labels "app.kubernetes.io/component=repo-server" to repo-server replica pods in the manifest

Switching to app.kubernetes.io/component=repo-server component based label might cause confusion when customer provides argument --repo-server-name with the name of the argocd instance argocd-repo-server. So let's keep the logic of deriving the argocd repo server name from the service name.

Just a nit regarding the PR's title: Can you please try to find a shorter, more concise title that denotes what actually has been fixed or improved? :)

I think the nil check should come first isn't it ?

Hi @anandf, I have updated the code to handle nil ptr dereference separately
