suspended helmrelease triggers kustomize alert

[abohatyrenko]

Hello, when I'm suspending HelmRelease resource via spec.suspend: true, and it's getting applied I'm getting alert from kustomize-controller, which is a false positive

Health check failed after 2m30.022317139s: timeout waiting for: [HelmRelease/namespace/app status: 'InProgress']

I thought that kustomize-controller is supposed to read the changes on HelmRelease, is this expected and I need to somehow additionally patch the kustomize, including the fact that kustomize is syncing whole path:

  - spec:
      path: ./namespace/directory-with-helmreleases

We use kstatus, to retrieve the status of the custom resources. When you suspend a HelmRelease, it can still have a status from previous or current reconciliation loop. When kustomize-controller performs a health check, it uses kstatus to poll deployed resources status. If those resources are InProgress, that will be returned. The fact that the resource may have by then been suspended is of no concern.

When you suspend a Flux resources, kstatus will always fail since a change to .spec.suspend bumps the generation but the observedGeneration in status remains behind. See fluxcd/pkg#765

Hello @stefanprodan, I see that the merge request is stuck at the draft stage, is there any ETA to expect a fix?

No ETA, the fix is no good and my focus shifted to other Flux features.
