Chaos Checker Container resources Section Gets Overwritten in UI Changes

[saireddyb]

What happened:
Some fields (container resources) are getting overridden
In my case resource section is always getting removed with default resources: {} after selecting pods from UI
and this is happening only for this section

      container:
        name: ""
        image: docker.io/litmuschaos/litmus-checker:2.11.0
        args:
          - -file=/tmp/chaosengine-run-chaos.yaml
          - -saveName=/tmp/engine-name

I have given resources for every pod in install fault and some section of run chaos it is working

                  experiments:
                    - name: pod-dns-error
                      spec:
                        components:
                          env:
                            - name: CONTAINER_RUNTIME
                              value: containerd
                            - name: SOCKET_PATH
                              value: /run/containerd/containerd.sock
                            - name: TOTAL_CHAOS_DURATION
                              value: "60"
                          resources:
                            requests:
                              cpu: 10m
                              memory: 25Mi
                            limits:
                              cpu: 200m
                              memory: 500Mi
                  components:
                    runner:
                      resources:
                        requests:
                          cpu: 100m
                          memory: 250Mi
                        limits:
                          cpu: 200m
                          memory: 500Mi

here it is working but in chaos checker resource section is getting removed after making any changes in container selector or probes change etc.
How to know why it is getting overridden
What you expected to happen:
Understand why some field are getting overridden from the workflow yaml that I have created apart from the changes I do in litmus UI
Where can this issue be corrected? (optional)

How to reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible):
https://docs.litmuschaos.io/docs/concepts/chaos-workflow
Used this experiment and only changes it renamed all the docker images with internal self hosted registry and given resources: to all pods
Anything else we need to know?:

Hello @saireddyb,

I'm interested in working on this issue. It looks like a UI bug where the resources field for the chaos checker is being overwritten by the frontend. I'd like to investigate and work on a fix.

Could you please assign this to me?

Thanks!

Hi @PriteshKiri @saireddyb ,
I tested this issue by applying a YAML file where I added the resources section. It shows correctly when I check through the terminal, but in the Litmus UI, the resources part gets removed or reset, especially after making any changes in the container selector or probes.
I’ve attached the snapshots for reference. Just wanted to confirm if this is the same issue we’re tracking or if it’s happening in some other part so I can proceed accordingly.

[saireddyb]

Yes this is the issue
The resource section get removed both in UI as well as the objects created in k8s also.
What I have seen in UI is the exact resource gets created in k8s
When we edit in UI some of the fileds gets overridden to default in UI (resources, command, args, image name )

[Debjyoti2004]

Ok, I will be working on it

Hey @Debjyoti2004

Any updates on this?

[Debjyoti2004]

Hey @PriteshKiri ! Thanks for checking in.
I was caught up with my end-semester work, so I couldn't push the update in time.
I’ve already started working on the fix and will be opening a PR in the next few days.
