We recently upgraded to nginx-ingress 0.22. Before this upgrade, my service was using the old namespace ingress.kubernetes.io/affinity: cookie and everything was working as I expected. However, upon the upgrade to 0.22, affinity stopped being applied to my service (I don't see sticky anywhere in the nginx.conf).

I looked at the docs and changed the namespace to nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io as shown in this example, but it didn't help.

Is there some debug log I can look at that will show the configuration parsing/building process? My guess is that some other setting is preventing this from working (I can't imagine the k8s team shipped a release with this feature completely broken), but I'm not sure what that could be.

My ingress config as shown by the k8s dashboard follows:
