Can you target Pod resources with the delete-resource command in argocd CLI?

[ahinh43]

I'm trying to target a deployment's pod for deletion when using the ArgoCD CLI. It works in the UI but when I use argocd app delete-resource foo --kind Pod --resource-name foo-pod-12345 I get a no matching resource found error from the command.

That said, if I swap the action from delete-resource to get-resource I can see the pod spec and fields, so the ArgoCD CLI can pull the information from the pod. If I run argocd app resources against the app, I only see the highest level object that manages these pods, like the Deployment object or Statefulset and not its underlying resource like Pods or ReplicaSets.

Is the delete-resource command able to target objects that aren't directly defined in code and managed by ArgoCD like Pods created via StatefulSet or ReplicaSets?

So just to sum it up:

This doesn't work and tells me no matching resources found

argocd app delete-resource foo --kind Pod --resource-name foo-pod-12345

This works and returns the info

argocd app get-resource foo --kind Pod --resource-name foo-pod-12345
