Pre-requisites

  • I have double-checked my configuration
  • I have tested with the :latest image tag (i.e. quay.io/argoproj/workflow-controller:latest) and can confirm the issue still exists on :latest. If not, I have explained why, in detail, in my description below.
  • I have searched existing issues and could not find a match for this bug
  • I'd like to contribute the fix myself (see contributing guide)

What happened? What did you expect to happen?

I expected the same behavior as when initContainers are defined directly in Workflow YAML files: any containers relating to a particular node/step should be available to select from the dropdown menu as part of the Logs tab.
This is not the case when the initContainer is defined in a Workflow Template, in which case no initContainer options are shown in the dropdown menu.

This issue does not present when initContainers are defined directly as part of a Workflow, but does occur when initContainers are defined in a Workflow Template, instead.

Version(s)

v3.6.5, latest

Paste a minimal workflow that reproduces the issue. We must be able to run the workflow; don't enter a workflow that uses private images.

worflow template:

apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
kind: WorkflowTemplate
metadata:
  name: init-container
spec:
  templates:
    - name: test-init-wft
      container:
        name: alpine
        image: "alpine:latest"
        command:
          - sh
          - -xc
        args:
          - |
            echo "Logs from main container, defined in the WF template YAML."
      initContainers:
        - name: test-init-container
          image: "alpine:latest"
          command:
            - sh
            - -c
          args:
            - |
              echo "Logs from InitContainer, defined directly in WF template YAML."

workflow (utilizes the template):

apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
kind: Workflow
metadata:
  generateName: workflow-using-template-
spec:
  entrypoint: call-template
  templates:
  - name: call-template # testing with workflow template
    steps:
    - - name: use-wf-template
        templateRef:
          name: init-container
          template: test-init-wft

UI when defining initContainers in Workflow Template:

The init containers are missing from the dropdown list in Logs tab. (but as a workaround, i can manually type a hidden container name into the box to retrieve the logs for that container)
