This feature is supposed to help advanced use-cases like Conventional Directory Structure explained in several issues like #428.
Newly added configuration keys `templates`, `missingFileHandler`, and the ability to defer executing template expressions in `values`, `secrets`, `namespace`, and `chart` of releases allows you to abstract away repetitions into a reusable template:
```yaml
templates:
default: &default
missingFileHandler: Warn
namespace: "{{`{{ .Release.Name }}`}}"
chart: stable/{{`{{ .Release.Name }}`}}
values:
- config/{{`{{ .Release.Name }}`}}/values.yaml
- config/{{`{{ .Release.Name }}`}}/{{`{{ .Environment.Name }}`}}.yaml
secrets:
- config/{{`{{ .Release.Name }}`}}/secrets.yaml
- config/{{`{{ .Release.Name }}`}}/{{`{{ .Environment.Name }}`}}-secrets.yaml
releases:
- name: envoy
<<: *default
```
See the updated documentation for more details.
Resolves#428
The integration test was failing due to that it was still using `--auto-approve` flag which was removed. The documentation was still refering to `--auto-approve` and had no explanation about the new `--interactive` flag. This fixes all these issues.
This a follow up for #368
See https://github.com/roboll/helmfile/pull/374#issuecomment-425291468 for more context.
This allows using the environment values defined in the environments: section of helmfile.yaml to be used from other sections of the file.
This works by having two template renderers, the first-pass and the second-pass renderer.
The first-pass render renders a helmfile.yaml template with replacing template functions has side-effects with noop. So, use only funcs that don't have side-effects to compose your environment values.
Then the second-pass renderer renders the same helmfile.yaml template, but with the environment values loaded by the first-pass renderer.
The implementation uses a buffer instead of re-reading the file twice.
Resolves#297
This command syncs releases only if there is any difference between the desired and the current state. It asks for an confirmation by default. Provide `--auto-approve` flag after the `apply` command to skip it.
Resolves#205
Add tillerNamespace and kubeContext to helmDefaults. Also add merging of args capability.
People can start adding additional fields under helmDefaults on top of this. The additional fields are merged to args as long as they are implemented using the framework introduced by this commit.
Changelog:
* adding merging for helm defaults args and --args, adding tillernamspace, kubecontext to helmdefaults, adding getargs to lint command
* adding docs for helmdefaults
* checking if empty default values
The use case is to have a list of helmfile releases version controlled together with all settings and have a CI pipeline that will lint all releases with settings before running sync. The new functionality was mostly copy pasted from the Diff implementation with some extra handling for fetching remote charts.
Notes:
* Added release name to chart path to avoid potential race condition when fetching the chart
**Feature**
An additional sub-command to the helmfile binary; helmfile test
**Why**
Helm provides helm test (https://github.com/kubernetes/helm/blob/master/docs/chart_tests.md) as a method to run automated tests post chart install to ensure things are working as they should be.
It would be nice to be able to run something like helmfile test against a particular helmfile in order to run helm tests against all charts/releases defined in the file. Either as part of the sync (i.e. helmfile sync --test) to be ran immediately after the corresponding chart is installed, or as a separate command ran after a sync (i.e. helmfile test).
A chart without tests will exit with a 0 status, so it can be safely ran against any charts.
**Notes**
`--cleanup` (bool) & `--timeout` (default: 300) are available as first class arguments. Additional arguments can be passed to the helm binary as with other sub commands using `--args=`
Resolves#144
`helmfile delete` has been implying `--purge` but it is not the case since this change.
The new behavior is `helmfile delete --purge` to actually purge releases.
Run just `helmfile delete` to delete releases but not purge them.
