What type of PR is this?

/kind bug

What does this PR do / why we need it:

Error: when running argocd --core commands (diff, resources) we get: error getting cached app resource tree: NOAUTH Authentication required
The reason why it happens is because gitops-operator secret is under the name [instance]-initial-redis-password and by using --core we bypass the argocd-server and CLI is looking for argocd-redis secret. This mismatch causes the error.

Solution:

  1. create redis secret with argocd-redis
  2. delete the old [instance]-initial-redis-password

Have you updated the necessary documentation?

You can test in two ways:

  1. Manual on master (manual demonstration of a fix):
  2. Test using this pr

Manual on master:

  1. Install latest gitops-operator on cluster
  2. create a dummy application
  3. argocd login
  4. oc project openshift-gitops
  5. oc get secret openshift-gitops-redis-initial-password -o yaml > argocd-redis-secret.yaml
  6. change a name in argocd-redis-secret.yaml to argocd-redis
  7. oc apply
  8. argocd --core app diff [appname] --redis-name openshift-gitops-redis
  9. argocd --core app resources [appname] --redis-name openshift-gitops-redis
  10. you should get app diff and resources without any errors now

Test using this pr:

  1. Deploy gitops-operator to quay
  2. install on cluster
  3. create a dummy application
  4. run argocd --core app diff [appname] --redis-name openshift-gitops-redis
  5. run argocd --core app resources [appname] --redis-name openshift-gitops-redis

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Redis authentication credentials now use the fixed argocd-redis Secret name across Argo CD components. The previous instance-specific Secret is removed during reconciliation.

Walkthrough

Redis authentication now uses the fixed Secret name argocd-redis. Reconciliation attempts to remove the previous instance-suffixed Secret, and controller and end-to-end test expectations use the fixed name.

Changes

Redis Authentication Secret

Layer / File(s) Summary
Secret naming and reconciliation
argocd-operator/controllers/argocd/secret.go, argocd-operator/controllers/argocd/secret_test.go
Reconciliation targets argocd-redis and attempts to delete the previous instance-suffixed Secret. A test checks that reconciliation removes the old Secret and creates the fixed-name Secret with the existing admin password.
Redis mounts and name assertions
argocd-operator/controllers/argoutil/redis.go, argocd-operator/controllers/argocd/*_test.go, argocd-operator/controllers/argocdagent/deployment_test.go, argocd-operator/tests/ginkgo/*, test/openshift/e2e/ginkgo/*
Redis mount references and related test expectations use argocd-redis instead of the instance-suffixed name.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to a23bf

Upgrading an existing instance replaces the Redis password. Pods still using the old credential can fail Redis authentication until they restart, and the old Secret may never be removed. Reuse the legacy password and make the cleanup reliable before merging.

Reuse the legacy Redis password during migration.

When only the legacy Secret exists, reconciliation generates a new password for argocd-redis. Existing Redis or client pods can still use the legacy mounted credential while newly restarted pods use the new credential. This can cause authentication failures during rollout.

Read the legacy password before generating a replacement, and use it when creating argocd-redis. Generate a password only when neither Secret provides one.

The test does not validate the password because r.Get overwrites newRedisSecret.Data. Assert the password after retrieving the Secret.

Suggested test assertion
 		newRedisSecret := argoutil.NewSecretWithName(argocd, "argocd-redis")
-		newRedisSecret.Data = map[string][]byte{common.ArgoCDKeyAdminPassword: []byte("something")}

 		newSecretErr := r.Get(context.TODO(), types.NamespacedName{Name: newRedisSecret.Name, Namespace: "argocd-operator"}, newRedisSecret)
 		assert.NoError(t, newSecretErr)
+		assert.Equal(t, []byte("something"), newRedisSecret.Data[common.ArgoCDKeyAdminPassword])

Complete legacy-Secret cleanup when the new Secret is healthy.

If argocd-redis is already healthy, the return at Line 1169 skips this deletion. A legacy Secret left by an interrupted migration then persists indefinitely. Move cleanup before the healthy return, and handle deletion errors other than NotFound so reconciliation can retry.
