configMapGenerator name with suffix not applied to custom resources

[whyvez]

I'm deploying an Argo WorkflowTemplate with Kustomize and the configMapGenerator generated name with the suffix does not get applied to my WorkflowTemplate. Is there a way to enable this or will Kustomize only make changes to K8s builtin resource?

My WorkflowTemplate contains an env property that sources from a ConfigMap.

env:
- name: PGHOST
  valueFrom:
    configMapKeyRef:
      name: config-api-exports
      key: PGHOST
- name: PGDATABASE
  valueFrom:
    configMapKeyRef:
      name: config-api-exports
      key: PGDATABASE
- name: PGUSER
  valueFrom:
    configMapKeyRef:
      name: config-api-exports
      key: PGUSER

The config-api-exports ConfigMap is generated by a configMapGenerator.

configMapGenerator:
  - name: config-api-exports
    literals:
      - PGUSER="postgres"
      - PGDATABASE="my-db"
      - PGHOST="127.0.0.7"

Even though this is a custom type I would expect Kustomize to walk the manifest and find and replace any yaml block that matches up with a valid Kubernetes type, env/configMapKeyRef in this case.

Have you specified the namereferences like documented?

@pst Awesome, got it. Thank you!

Ended up adding this configuration...

nameReference:
  - kind: ConfigMap
    fieldSpecs:
    - path: spec/templates/script/env/valueFrom/configMapKeyRef/name
      kind: WorkflowTemplate
