Unable to write back to git helm values, key not found in the map

[mimartin12]

Describe the bug
When using the git writeback method, image updater is unable to create the file in the branch with the helm value updates with an error:
time="2024-10-01T15:32:52Z" level=error msg="Could not update application spec: failed to set image parameter name value: key component not found in the map" application=test

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Using the annotations:

        argocd-image-updater.argoproj.io/image-list: admin=somewhere.azurecr.io/admin:{{.branch}}
        argocd-image-updater.argoproj.io/update-strategy: digest
        argocd-image-updater.argoproj.io/admin.helm.image-name: component.admin.image.name
        argocd-image-updater.argoproj.io/admin.helm.image-tag: component.admin.image.tag
        argocd-image-updater.argoproj.io/write-back-method: git
        argocd-image-updater.argoproj.io/git-repository: [email protected]:company/admin.git
        argocd-image-updater.argoproj.io/write-back-target: 'helmvalues:/envs/{{.branch}}.yaml'
        argocd-image-updater.argoproj.io/git-branch: '{{.branch}}'

The Helm chart supports the structure:

component:
  admin:
    image:
      name: somewhere.azurecr.io/admin
      tag: dev

Expected behavior
A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

When a new image is added to the ACR, the updater creates a file /envs/{{.branch}}.yaml on the branch {{.branch}} with the newly set values, component.admin.image.name and component.admin.image.tag.

Additional context
Add any other context about the problem here.

It's worth noting, if I create the file manually at /envs/{{.branch}}.yaml and add the structure:

component:
  admin:
    image:
      name: somewhere.azurecr.io/admin
      tag: dev

The updates work.

looks like #838 should have already fixed it.

In release-0.14 (the version you're testing with), https://github.com/argoproj-labs/argocd-image-updater/blob/release-0.14/pkg/argocd/update.go#L573 is where the error was raised.

In the above PR, this part has been rewritten to handle non-existing file or keys.

Yes, I expect this to just create the file, but that doesn't seem to be the case. It can update an existing values file in the branch, but when pointing the config argocd-image-updater.argoproj.io/write-back-target to a file that doesn't exist just yet, it fails with the error above, time="2024-10-02T16:09:35Z" level=error msg="Could not update application spec: failed to set image parameter name value: key component not found in the map" application=test.

The fix is in the current master branch, and will be included in the next release (0.15.0).

Great! Am I able to get those changes from the latest image tags, so I can test? Thanks!

[chengfang]

there is a latest snapshot tag https://quay.io/repository/argoprojlabs/argocd-image-updater?tab=tags but no guarantee of quality. 0.15.0 is forthcoming.

Oh yeah, just something I can test with is great. Looking forward to 0.15.0!
