#1772 broke `--selector` with `needs` in many ways.
The two biggest problems I've encountered were:
- duplicate releases even if you've provided a proper `selector` to deduplicate
- sync/deletion ordering broken when you have `needs`
For the first issue, we had to update `getSelectedReleases` function to also calculate the "selected releases and releases needed by the selected releases", and use that to calculate the DAG. That should have been done in #1772.
The latter started happening after I've fixed the first issue. The source of the issue was that `needs` turned out to be ambiguous in a few cases.
Previously, `needs: ["foo/bar"]` had two meanings. One for "needs release bar in kubecontext foo", another for "needs release bar in namespace foo".
Moreover, `needs: ["foo/bar/baz"]` had three meanings.
- `needs release baz in tiller namespace foo and namespace baz`
- `needs release baz in namespace bar in kubecontext foo`
- `needs release baz in tiller namespace bar in kubecontext foo`.
Especially, the first meaning doesn't make sense at all. Helm 2 solely use tillerNamespace for namespacing the release and Helm 3 uses namespace for that.
This fix sorts all the bugs and issues I've found so far around that, by changing the meanings of the above two examples as follows:
- `foo/bar` means `namespace=foo,name=bar` for Helm 3 and `tillerNamespace=foo,name=bar` for Helm 2
- `needs release bar in kubecontext foo` is now `foo//bar`. Notice the extra `/` between `foo` and `bar`.
- `foo/bar/baz` means `kubecontext=foo,namespace=bar,name=baz` for Helm 3 and `kubecontext=foo,tillerNamespace=bar,name=baz` in Helm 2
Fixes#1818
* Add --{include,skip}-needs to helmfile-sync and helmfile-apply
* Add --include-needs to helmfile-template
* Add TODO related to #1018
* Add a few new test files to cover new functionalities
* Update apply test to incorporate the change that the destroy and sync steps target affected releases only
This is the GA version of the helm-x integration #673 developed last year.
You get all the following benefits without an extra helm plugin:
- Ability to add ad-hoc chart dependencies/aliases, without forking the chart (Fixes#876 )
- Ability to patch resulting K8s resources before installing the helm chart
- Ability to install a kustomization as a chart (Requires `kustomize` binary to be available in `$PATH`
- Ability to install a directory of K8s manifests as a chart
- etc.
The problem was that `--namespace NS` had been not taken into account while deleting releases, that resulted in releases that should be deleted are not deleted.
* fix: Fix `needs` to work for upgrades and when selectors are provided
Fixes#919
* Add test framework for `helmfile apply`
* Various enhancements and fixes to the DAG support
- Make the order of upgrades/deletes more deterministic for testability
- Fix the test framework so that we can validate log outputs and errors
- Add more test cases for `helmfile apply`, along with bug fixes.
- Make sure it fails with an intuitive error when you have non-existent releases referenced from witin "needs"
Introduces DAG-aware installation/deletion ordering to Helmfile.
`needs` controls the order of the installation/deletion of the release:
```yaml
relesaes:
- name: somerelease
needs:
- [TILLER_NAMESPACE/][NAMESPACE/]anotherelease
```
All the releases listed under `needs` are installed before(or deleted after) the release itself.
For the following example, `helmfile [sync|apply]` installs releases in this order:
1. logging
2. servicemesh
3. myapp1 and myapp2
```yaml
- name: myapp1
chart: charts/myapp
needs:
- servicemesh
- logging
- name: myapp2
chart: charts/myapp
needs:
- servicemesh
- logging
- name: servicemesh
chart: charts/istio
needs:
- logging
- name: logging
chart: charts/fluentd
```
Note that all the releases in a same group is installed concurrently. That is, myapp1 and myapp2 are installed concurrently.
On `helmdile [delete|destroy]`, deleations happen in the reverse order.
That is, `myapp1` and `myapp2` are deleted first, then `servicemesh`, and finally `logging`.
