- I've included steps to reproduce the bug.
- I've pasted the output of
argocd version.
Describe the bug
When using server-side diff with the removeWebHookMutation option, it will not show removal of fields in the diff. This was found specifically on an App of apps where an app removed the 'source' field and replaced with sourceHydrator. The diff does not show removal of the source field.
To Reproduce
- Sync a Live Application with source field
kubectl get applications ssd-test -n argocd -o yaml
apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
kind: Application

annotations:
argocd.argoproj.io/tracking-id: app:argoproj.io/Application:argocd/ssd-test
