ArgoCD CLI diff with --server-side-generate checksum issue

[ottramst]

Hi all!

Asking about a simple problem, I'm seeing with running argocd diff.

I'm trying to get a diff like this: argocd app diff argocd/MY_APP --local "$PWD" --grpc-web --logformat json --loglevel error --refresh
This command works fine and I get a nice diff output.

However, it seems that this approach is being deprecated in favour of running the command with --server-side-generate. But after adjusting the command like so: argocd app diff argocd/MY_APP --local "$PWD" --grpc-web --logformat json --loglevel error --server-side-generate --refresh
It constantly gives me the following error

{"level":"fatal","msg":"rpc error: code = Unknown desc = error receiving manifest file stream: error receiving tgz file: file checksum validation error: calc e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855 sent ced5d103b966ec56548ca9321d7a20d0570f3178e20469df8ef823ddd172d6ea","time":"2023-04-20T16:19:01+03:00"}

So, does anyone have any experience with this and/or knows how to work around this issue?
