This was noticed as an issue by rhn-support-dehort which I decided to investigate. After having a great call with vmugicag brainstorming this, we figured out it was due to dependency resolution.

Issue: IMAGE_TAG not respected with a config.yaml, but is respected via a cli-flag

Reproduction
–
Run bonfire deploy ingress-local with a config.yaml that looks like this

appsFile:
  host: gitlab
  repo: insights-platform/cicd-common
  path: bonfire_configs/ephemeral_apps.yaml
apps:
  - name: ingress-local
    components:
      - name: ingress-local
        host: local
        repo: "/some/path/to/repo/insights-ingress-go"
        path: /deploy/clowdapp.yaml
        parameters:
          IMAGE_TAG: pr-319-latest

Workaround: Specify all the dependencies before your app. For example with ingress: bonfire deploy host-inventory payload-tracker ingress-local (using that yaml above again) or bonfire deploy ingress --set-image-tag quay.io/cloudservices/insights-ingress=pr-319-latest
