Proposed changes
This pull request addresses the issue where Patch resources unintentionally patch field managers during update operations (ie. when a Patch resource is updated and reused). Such modification results in the Patch resource taking control of all fields managed owned by a field manager with the prefix
kubectl
. This, in turn, leads to unintended unset fields when runningpulumi up
. Patch resources are designed to contain a specific subset of fields for updating, and they should not interfere with the field managers of normal resources. It's important to note that field managers still need to be patched for regular resources, as they facilitate the transition from Client-Side Apply (CSA) to Server-Side Apply (SSA) for existing Pulumi-managed resources.Additionally, this PR includes a new test to validate this behavior. The test will fail if the logic to avoid field manager patching for Patch resources is not implemented.
