## ๐ Known Issues
[Sidecar-installed Config Management Plugin discovery may fail](https://github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/issues/13940) for Applications whose `spec.source.path` is not `""` or `"."`. If you use sidecar Config Management Plugins which rely on running discovery rules in the Application's specified path, your Application may fail to refresh with an error about no supported plugins being found, or the CMP may incorrectly claim that it does support the app, and **it may produce unpredictable manifests, including _no manifests_, which will prune all your resources**.
If you are affected, use >= 2.7.5.
