sync_application
Sync ArgoCD applications to deploy configurations from source repositories. Specify namespace for non-default applications, use dry runs for testing, and prune removed resources.
Instructions
sync_application syncs application. Specify applicationNamespace if the application is in a non-default namespace to avoid permission errors.
Input Schema
TableJSON Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| applicationName | Yes | ||
| applicationNamespace | No | The namespace where the application is located. Required if application is not in the default namespace. | |
| dryRun | No | Perform a dry run sync without applying changes | |
| prune | No | Remove resources that are no longer defined in the source | |
| revision | No | Sync to a specific revision instead of the latest | |
| syncOptions | No | Additional sync options (e.g., ["CreateNamespace=true", "PrunePropagationPolicy=foreground"]) |
Implementation Reference
- src/argocd/client.ts:122-156 (handler)Core handler function that executes the sync logic by constructing the sync request and making the API call to ArgoCD.public async syncApplication( applicationName: string, options?: { appNamespace?: string; dryRun?: boolean; prune?: boolean; revision?: string; syncOptions?: string[]; } ) { const syncRequest: Record<string, string | boolean | string[]> = {}; if (options?.appNamespace) { syncRequest.appNamespace = options.appNamespace; } if (options?.dryRun !== undefined) { syncRequest.dryRun = options.dryRun; } if (options?.prune !== undefined) { syncRequest.prune = options.prune; } if (options?.revision) { syncRequest.revision = options.revision; } if (options?.syncOptions) { syncRequest.syncOptions = options.syncOptions; } const { body } = await this.client.post<V1alpha1Application, V1alpha1Application>( `/api/v1/applications/${applicationName}/sync`, null, Object.keys(syncRequest).length > 0 ? syncRequest : undefined ); return body; }
