Description
Pre-requisites
- I have double-checked my configuration
- I have tested with the
:latestimage tag (i.e.quay.io/argoproj/workflow-controller:latest) and can confirm the issue still exists on:latest. If not, I have explained why, in detail, in my description below. - I have searched existing issues and could not find a match for this bug
- I'd like to contribute the fix myself (see contributing guide)
What happened? What did you expect to happen?
Same issue as #10182 but for Workflow.Spec.Arguments (and referenced via {{workflow.parameters.param-name}}) which are dealt with in a different code path here:
argo-workflows/workflow/controller/operator.go
Lines 646 to 659 in bd13b1c
Which means passing a value to an argument that uses a ValueFrom.ConfigMapKeyRef does nothing, when it should prioritise the value to match template input behaviour. A workaround is moving the config map input to a template to get the fixed behaviour from #10182.
Version(s)
v3.6.5
Paste a minimal workflow that reproduces the issue. We must be able to run the workflow; don't enter a workflow that uses private images.
