ArgoCD bot Communication with Github while posting diffs on PR

[syed-awais-ali]

I am trying to configure ArgoCD bot to comment the diffs on PR. I have come so far to see that Argo bot is deployed in my system and pod/deployment being made. I enabled the debug flag also to see the logs in pod. The github app is installed in my repo and I have populated the .env file as well, so the pod is made without any issues. I have loaded the secrets using the script that is provided in the repo and as instructed in the README. The .pem key is placed at my root folder.

This is my .env file (has dummy values, not real ones)

PORT=80
LOG_LEVEL=debug
KUBECTL_EXTERNAL_DIFF=
APP_ID=700908
GITHUB_REPO=git@github.com:user/app.git
GITHUB_TOKEN=dc78adfh28374hjshf8b061dcd1f69bc1389f4f6
WEBHOOK_SECRET=webhook-secret
PRIVATE_KEY_PATH=/home/private/key/argocd-bot/argocd-diff.private-key.pem
ARGOCD_SERVER=https://ARGO-IP/
ARGOCD_AUTH_TOKEN=adfadfadf34342sfsfsfs23aI

The following are the logs from the pod:

  params: {
    "per_page": 100,
    "baseUrl": "https://api.github.com",
    "request": {
      "timeout": 0
    }
  }
06:01:09.276Z DEBUG github: GitHub request: POST /app/installations/:installation_id/access_tokens - 201 Created (installation=198181122)
  params: {
    "installation_id": 198181122,
    "baseUrl": "https://api.github.com",
    "request": {
      "timeout": 0
    }
  }
06:01:10.314Z DEBUG github: GitHub request: GET /installation/repositories - 200 OK (installation=198181122)
  params: {
    "per_page": 100,
    "baseUrl": "https://api.github.com",

Also ARGOCD_AUTH_TOKEN it is recommended to generate an automation token using the /api/v1/projects/{project}/roles/{role}/token API but this is not found on my Argo Deployment. I am unable to find this endpoint.

When the PR is made in the repo, the events are received in the logs of the pod but the bot is unable to post the diff on the PR. I also changed the internal ingress to the external one to see if there was any communication issue. The slack channel doesnot have any pointers in this regard as well. I have tried it on multiple ArgoCD installations local and on cloud premises but circling back at the same issue again and again
