Using CD hook-delete-policy on Workflow resource

[masterginger]

Hi all,

We were looking at hook deletion policy, (which mentioned it could be applied to Workflow resources) and tried to add the following annotations to the Workflow resource:

argocd.argoproj.io/hook: PostSync
argocd.argoproj.io/hook-delete-policy: HookSucceeded

However, we observed that after the Workflow resource was created and synced, it was deleted before the workflow itself actually completed. There were still pods (for workflow steps) running. As a result, the workflow execution was interrupted (the pods for workflow steps were deleted along with the workflow resource itself) and most of the workflow steps were never run.

Is this the expected behavior? or adding hook delete policy to Workflow resource is not a valid use case in the first place?

Any feedback is appreciated!

This is a question for ArgoCD, not argo workflows. Workflows is not implementing this feature, and argocd is the tool that is deleting the workflow prematurely. Please raise your question there.
