Skaffold: 'skaffold dev' does not clean up secrets if content changes when using kustomize

[ianlewis]

Expected behavior

• When running skaffold dev with kustomize, a secret's content changes causing a new secret to be created.
• The old secret is deleted.

Actual behavior

• Skaffold creates the new secret but old secrets are not cleaned up.
• Skaffold does not clean up these secrets when 'skaffold dev' is stopped leaving cruft in the dev environment

Information

• Skaffold version: v0.15.1
• Operating system: linux
• Contents of skaffold.yaml:

apiVersion: skaffold/v1alpha3
kind: Config
build:
  artifacts:
    ...
deploy:
  kustomize:
    kustomizePath: ./kubernetes

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Create a kustomization file with a secretGenerator
2. Start 'skaffold dev'; the secret is created
3. Change the secret's generated content and cause a re-deploy; a new secret is created, but the old one is not deleted

Hi @ianlewis
The same is happening with configmaps but the problem not depends of kustomize or skaffold:

• kustomize-issue
• kubernetes-issue

[ianlewis]

@bugbuilder Yah, it basically happens with all objects that have a generated name

Is there any workaround?

it seems like this isn't a skaffold specific issue so i'll close this. if people believe there is work to be done in skaffold to fix this please let me know and i'll reopen!
