ArgoCD deployment failure for 2-broken-apps application traced to malformed apiVersion: apps/v (should be apps/v1) in external repository's order-service Deployment manifest at line 178. Intentionally broken commit (8cd04df) for testing notification system.

Analysis Artifacts

  • .github/ISSUE_12_ANALYSIS.md - Root cause with evidence from commit history, impact assessment, three remediation strategies with verification steps
  • TASK_COMPLETION.md - Investigation summary and key findings
  • .github/README_ANALYSIS.md - Quick reference guide

Automation

  • .github/workflows/post-issue-analysis.yml - Manual trigger workflow to post analysis as issue comment via gh CLI
  • .github/scripts/post-to-issue.sh - Multi-method posting script (gh CLI → curl → manual instructions)
  • .github/scripts/post-issue-analysis.js - Node.js helper for GitHub Actions integration

Remediation Options

  1. Fix source repository: Correct apiVersion in dcasati/argocd-notification-examples.git
  2. Redirect ArgoCD app: Point to working repository or delete test application
  3. Exclude resource: Use ignoreDifferences to skip broken Deployment temporarily

System Status

✅ ArgoCD notification pipeline validated (failure → webhook → issue creation)
✅ Configuration in this repository is correct
✅ Failure is in external source repository, intentional for testing
