validation from argo cd

[saiharshitachava]

I created an argo cd application by using kustomize framework

Whenever I merge something in repo, argo cd will try to sync which is expected

I want to validate the data before merge so that I dont have sync failures due to bad configurations. Do we have any validators available in argo cd so that we can trigger them before the merge and argo cd tries actual sync?

Argo CD can really only help you with the "CD" part - pre-merge checks is more a CI job. At Intuit, at least in some cases, we use GitHub Actions and a simple script to check that kustomize build works before allowing a PR to be merged.

It would be great if you could share templates of such scripts.

It's really as simple as it sounds.

git clone <manifest repo>
kustomize build <app path>

If either of those fails, the CI fails.
