Fixes https://issues.redhat.com/browse/OCPBUGS-120842
Fixes #572

Summary

The GitopsService controller was clearing spec.nodePlacement on the default ArgoCD CR whenever GitopsService did not configure nodeSelector or tolerations. Admins who set nodePlacement directly on the ArgoCD CR (documented OpenShift GitOps pattern for dedicated infra nodes) saw scheduling configuration removed on every reconcile, so Argo CD workloads never moved off default worker nodes.

Root cause

In reconcileDefaultArgoCDInstance, when defaultArgoCDInstance.Spec.NodePlacement was nil but existingArgoCD.Spec.NodePlacement was set, the controller unconditionally cleared NodePlacement — conflating "GitopsService has no placement config" with "remove all placement from ArgoCD CR".

Fix

  • Only sync NodePlacement when GitopsService explicitly configures nodeSelector or tolerations
  • Track GitopsService-managed placement with annotation gitops.openshift.io/node-placement-managed-by-gitopsservice
  • When GitopsService placement fields are cleared, remove operator-applied NodePlacement via the annotation
  • Preserve admin-set NodePlacement on the ArgoCD CR when GitopsService does not manage placement

Files changed

  • common/common.go — annotation constant
  • controllers/gitopsservice_controller.go — reconcile logic
  • controllers/gitopsservice_controller_test.go — unit tests for direct ArgoCD CR edits and GitopsService clear path

Test plan

  • go test ./controllers/... -run 'TestReconcileDefault.*NodePlacement|TestReconcileDefaultForArgoCDNodeplacement'
  • openshift-ci e2e (requires /ok-to-test)

Hi @Pratik-Redhat-Tech. Thanks for your PR.

I'm waiting for a redhat-developer member to verify that this patch is reasonable to test. If it is, they should reply with /ok-to-test on its own line. Until that is done, I will not automatically test new commits in this PR, but the usual testing commands by org members will still work.

Regular contributors should join the org to skip this step.

Once the patch is verified, the new status will be reflected by the ok-to-test label.

I understand the commands that are listed here.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • GitOps Service placement settings now apply to Argo CD instances only when node selectors or tolerations are configured.
    • Administrator-configured node placement is preserved when no GitOps Service placement settings are specified.
    • Clearing GitOps Service placement settings removes only placement previously managed by the service, leaving administrator-configured placement unchanged.

Walkthrough

The controller now applies Argo CD NodePlacement only when configured by GitopsService, marks managed resources, preserves direct administrator edits, and removes previously managed placement when configuration is cleared. Tests cover each reconciliation path.

…goCD CR

When GitopsService does not configure nodeSelector or tolerations, the
reconcile loop was clearing spec.nodePlacement on the default ArgoCD CR.
Admins who set nodePlacement directly on the ArgoCD CR (documented pattern
for dedicated infra nodes) saw scheduling config removed every reconcile.

Only sync NodePlacement when GitopsService explicitly configures placement
fields. Track GitopsService-managed placement with an annotation so clearing
GitopsService fields still removes operator-applied placement.

Fixes redhat-developer#572

Set the managed-by annotation on defaultArgoCDInstance before create so
clearing GitopsService placement later removes operator-applied placement
for newly created instances too.
