Apps in Any Namespace: Warnings thrown when viewing application in UI

[patrickbardo]

Describe the bug
When running ArgoCD with application-namespaces, if an application is created in another namespace, and then viewed in the UI, an error pops up as seen below in screenshots.

The links field fails to load, and checking the logs, it looks as if the server is looking for the application in the argocd namespace, even though it is in another namespace.

level=warning msg="application does not exist" application=xxx namespace=argocd

Checklist:

• I've searched in the docs and FAQ for my answer: https://bit.ly/argocd-faq.
• I've included steps to reproduce the bug.
• I've pasted the output of argocd version.

To Reproduce

• Run system with --application-namespaces=*
• Create application with metadata.namespace anything other than argocd (to match exactly, this was done tracking resources in a private repo)
• As admin role, open the application resource

Expected behavior

• The error should show, with links failing to load (no links need to be present in the definition).
• The server logs should include the logs pasted below.

Thank you for reporting! Fixed by #13664

[patrickbardo]

I just upgraded to latest with this bug fix, and I am still receiving the same error. It looks like the server is looking in the wrong namespace for the application resource.

Hey. We have the same issue with latest version

This issue is also present for manifest editing not only on links field.

[speedfl]

For manifest editing this was fixed in #13839

@crenshaw-dev here the issue is a similar but needs bit more work as appNamepace is not even part of the query in the proto. I can take care of it today

[crenshaw-dev]

@speedfl is this completely resolved now that #13854 is merged?

[speedfl]

Yes all good on my side since upgrade to 2.7.7
