configMapGenerator and secretGenerator with encrypted files don't work in kind: Component

[jceb]

I tried to use a SOPS-encrypted environment file with secretGenerator in a Component like the following:

apiVersion: kustomize.config.k8s.io/v1alpha1
kind: Component

secretGenerator:
  - name: my-secret
    envs:
      - config.enc.env

.sops.yaml:

creation_rules:
  - path_regex: .*\.enc\.env$
    pgp: xxxx

The config.enc.env file is properly encrypted as dotenv file When However, when configuration is applied to the cluster, the contents of the secret are not properly decrypted:

apiVersion: v1
data:
  MY_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: xxx_encrypted_data_xxx
  sops_lastmodified: xxx
  sops_mac: xxx
  sops_pgp__list_0__map_created_at: xxx
  sops_pgp__list_0__map_enc: xxx=
  sops_pgp__list_0__map_fp: xxx==
  sops_unencrypted_suffix: xxx
  sops_version: My43LjE=
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: my-secret-852b7kc8hf

The expected result is the following and I'm able to achieve it the moment I change the kind and apiVersion value in kustomization.yaml to Kustomization:

apiVersion: v1
data:
  MY_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY: decrypted_data
kind: Secret

We don’t support any alpha features of Kustomize nor any alpha APIs. You can use the generators with the v1beta1 kind Kustomization.

Thank you for the information, that makes sense.

I have the same problem 😓.

Because flux supports components for other features, is there any plan to fix this bug?

Thank you for your help and support, flux is a wonderful piece of software 😇
