Timeout in sync from rest api

[HiddenTesla]

Summary

How to set timeout in app sync?
This seems doable from CLI, as the argocd app sync --help says:

      --timeout uint                          Time out after this many seconds

However, swagger-ui /swagger-ui#operation/ApplicationService_Sync does not mention it.
I have gone through all expandable items but do not find timeout.

Motivation

To void sync takes too long.

Proposal

This may be a question rather than an enhancement. But I do not find where to ask questions.

Hi do we have a quick anwser if this is available now or needs implementing?

you need to pass an argument to the -timeout flag, something like

> argocd app sync app1 --timeout 2

TIMESTAMP                  GROUP        KIND   NAMESPACE                  NAME    STATUS   HEALTH        HOOK  MESSAGE
2024-09-10T17:25:11+05:30   apps  Deployment        app1                  app1    Synced  Healthy              

This is the state of the app after `wait` timed out:

Yes --timeout works for cli, but I wonder if there is an equivalent option for its rest api.

@HiddenTesla,

cmd/argocd/commands/app.go-func NewApplicationSyncCommand

_, err = appIf.Sync(ctx, &syncReq)
errors.CheckError(err)

if !async {
	app, opState, err := waitOnApplicationStatus(ctx, acdClient, appQualifiedName, timeout, watchOpts{operation: true}, selectedResources, output)

Calling the API from the CLI appears to be asynchronous behaviour.
It's just that after calling the API from the CLI, the CLI waits for a TIMEOUT for the state to change; there is no TIMEOUT because the API itself is asynchronous.
If you plan to call the API directly, it would make sense to implement TIMEOUT in the CLIENT.
