Summary

Fixes the "argocdService is not initialized" error in ArgoCD CLI v3.1.0 notifications commands.

Problem

Solution

This fix introduces GetFactorySettingsDeferred that uses a closure to defer service access until it's actually needed, ensuring the service is properly initialized when accessed.

Key insight: Go closures capture variables by reference, so the inline closure func() service.Service { return argocdService } will return the current value when called, even if it was nil when created.

Changes

  • Add GetFactorySettingsDeferred function with closure-based deferred initialization
  • Update notifications command to use new deferred pattern
  • Add unit test for uninitialized service error case

Testing

  • ✅ Unit test added for error handling
  • ✅ Manual verification: notifications commands now work correctly

Testing Screenshots

Before (v3.1.0) After (Fixed)
argocdService is not initialized error ✅ Notifications command works correctly

Cherry-pick consideration: This should be backported to v3.1.x releases as it's a regression fix.

The notifications CLI commands were failing with 'argocdService is not initialized'
error in v3.1.0 due to incorrect initialization order.

This fix introduces GetFactorySettingsDeferred that uses a closure to defer
service access until it's actually needed, ensuring the service is properly
initialized when accessed.

Changes:
- Add GetFactorySettingsDeferred function with simplified naming
- Add unit test to verify error handling for uninitialized service
- Update notifications command to use deferred initialization pattern

Fixes argoproj#24196

Hi Claude @puretension!

Could you not modify the existing GetFactorySettingsForCLI instead, since this is the only place where that function is used? Another option is to revert #23424, but it's perhaps more clear with a deferred function.

Hi @blakepettersson!
You're absolutely right! I've modified the existing GetFactorySettingsForCLI
function to use the deferred pattern instead of creating a duplicate function.
This approach is much cleaner and eliminates the code duplication while still
solving the initialization issue. I also updated the test to match the changes.

Thanks for pointing this out. it's a much better solution!

I think there are a few unrelated changes which should not be a part of this PR. Please let Claude keep the changes as narrowly scoped as possible.

As requested by maintainer, modified the existing GetFactorySettingsForCLI
function to use the deferred pattern instead of creating a duplicate function.
This eliminates code duplication while solving the initialization issue.

Hi @blakepettersson,

Thank you for your feedback on keeping the changes narrowly scoped.
I've implemented the deferred pattern for GetFactorySettingsForCLI as requested.

The current E2E test failures appear to be infrastructure/environment related and unrelated to the notifications service initialization fix:

  • TestDeletionConfirmation: Permission denied when calling confirm-deletion on already deleted app (only failing on v1.32.1, suggesting a Kubernetes version compatibility issue)
  • TestPreserveFileModeForCMP: Git pack file system issues
  • TestSyncWithNoDestinationServiceAccountsInProject: RBAC permission issues

Our changes only modify the notifications service initialization pattern (2 files changed) and don't touch any app lifecycle, RBAC, or CMP functionality. The core notifications functionality has been tested locally and works correctly.

Could you please advise if these are known flaky tests or if a CI re-run would be appropriate? The failures seem to be timing/permission issues specific to the test environment rather than code issues.

Thanks for your patience!
