mTLS options show diff in argocd

[yujunz]

It seems the operator will marshal the values to full representation of the duration. It causes diff in argocd. I would expect it keep the value as input and convert internally if needed.

The current workaround is manually convert the duration to full format on input.

Seems there is no easy solution we can do on the operator side ...
Did you checked argoproj/argo-cd#14229 ?

I ran into this. Just set the values in your yaml to match what it gets changed to. argo just trims the unnecessary values.

I ran into this as well and set the values to match as @ElanHasson did. That ArgoCD issue that you linked works for me as well if I add this:

spec:
  syncOptions:
    - RespectIgnoreDifferences=true
  ignoreDifferences:
    - group: temporal.io
      kind: TemporalCluster
      jsonPointers:
        - /spec/mTLS/certificatesDuration
        - /spec/mTLS/renewBefore

Can we close this out if we document these caveats for ArgoCD somewhere? I'm happy to contribute a doc page on this.
