#3613 [BUG] Setting service_account_name in task PodTemplate does not work Issue created by hamersaw Describe the bug Creating a task with the definition:

@task(
        pod_template=PodTemplate(
            pod_spec=V1PodSpec(
                service_account_name="trainer-service",
                containers=[],
    )

attempts to manually set the service account of the k8s

Pod

to

trainer-service

. However, the result is that Flyte overrides this variable, setting the service account to 'default' (by default). This seems to be because the

PodPlugin

always overrides the

ServiceAccount

in this logic. However, previous implementation first checked if the

ServiceAccount

was empty first. The latter seems to be the correct implementation. Expected behavior Users should be able to override the k8s

Pod

service account using the

PodTemplate

. Additional context to reproduce Create a task with a service account, run it, and note the manually set service account is overridden. Screenshots No response Are you sure this issue hasn't been raised already? ☑︎ Yes Have you read the Code of Conduct? ☑︎ Yes flyteorg/flyte
