How does 'sync --info stringArray' work during an 'argocd app sync' ?

[jmarcos-cano]

I'm trying to automate our deployments using CLI as recommended from the docs however --info stringArray does not work and does not do what I expected it to do.

I'm trying to add more info to every sync that i'm doing, adding metadata, something like argocd app sync myappname --info user=username@acme.com and expecting it to appear in app details as shown in the image, however it appears it is not doing anything.

BTW: it is indeed synchronizing as expected

Hello @jmarcos-cano ,

The --info flag adds info items into app.operation.info (which is copied to app.status.operationState.operation.info when operation is completed). So this is operation metadata, not application metadata. Currently, it is not shown in Argo CD UI and the feature is used to build custom integration by some users.

Currently argocd CLI does not have a flag to update app level info but you can use generic argocd app patch command:

argocd app patch guestbook --patch='[{"op": "replace", "path": "/spec/info", "value": [{"name": "user", "value": "username@acme.com"}]}]'
