Affinity rule changes are not contained in Diff

[simonplattner]

Describe the bug

ArgoCD seems to ignore affinity rules when calculating diffs.

Did search in docs and FAQ, could not find a statement that this is expected.

To Reproduce

• Create some deployment via Argo
• In the Argo UI, manually add an affinity rule to the deployment

At this point, the Argo UI shows the affinity setting in Live Manifest and not in Desired Manifest (which is expected). However, Argo does not show any changes in Diff (which is unexpected).

• Sync

At this point the manually added affinity still exists (which is unexpected)

Expected behavior

• When calculating the diff, Argo should include differences in affinity rules
• When syncing, Argo should apply the Desired Manifest, including affinity rules

or

• Documentation explains why the current behaviour and also why it is superior

Version

v2.4.10+2ccc17a

Notes

Could observe the same behaviour with a statefulset resource.
