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.
This prevents typos in helmfiles from silently preventing operations
from running. The default behavior is to print a warning, to preserve
backwards compatibility.
Resolves#1232
CHANGES:
* Disable repo update when installed is false
When install is false, we do not need to update the repositories and get
the chart.

- createNamespace is a new attribute that can be added to helmDefaults
or an individual release to enforce the creation of a release namespace
during sync if the namespace does not exist. This leverages helm's
(3.2+) --create-namespace flag for the install/upgrade command. If
running helm < 3.2, the createNamespace attribute has no effect.
Resolves#891Resolves#1140
* Add option to suppress diff on apply
Add --supress-diff option on apply. Usable for fresh installs when a
lot of output is produces by diff.
Resolves#458
* fix tests for suppress-diff
When chart is not set, an exception without any hints occure due
normalizeChart tries to access the first character of a 0 length string.
Properly inform user of missing chart.
This makes it possible to pass the API Capabilities to helmfile when executing a task that does not render against an actual cluster (diff, template, apply).
Resolves#1014
Runs `helm version` in helmexec.New, and exposes a method on Interface to allow other packages to use the detected version. Preserves compatibility with previous HELMFILE_HELM3 mechanism.
Resolves#923
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.
The recent addition of the DAG support(`needs`) and the fixes on it broke the delete-on-sync functionality. And there were two more bugs. One is that it was not correctly running `helm delete` when needed and the another is that it was failing when `--selector` is specified and the releases to delete by sync found, but nothing actually got deleted. This fixes all of them.
Fixes#941
Until now `helmfile delete` with helm v3 had been failing when `--namespace` is provided. Helmfile was missing the fact that in helm v3 namespace must be passed instead of tiller-namespace to scope releases to be deleted.
```
err: release "b-1" failed: helm3rc2 exited with status 1:
Error: uninstall: Release not loaded: b-1: release: not found
in ./helmfile.yaml: release "b-1" failed: helm3rc2 exited with status 1:
Error: uninstall: Release not loaded: b-1: release: not found
```
* 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`.
Resolves#715
Set `HELMFILE_HELM3=1` and run `helmfile` like `HELMFILE_HELM3=1 helmfile ...`.
When `HELMFILE_HELM3` is set, `test`, `template`, `delete`, `destroy` behave differently so that it works with Helm 3.
Note that `helmfile diff` doesn't work as `helm-diff` called under the hood doesn't support Helm v3 yet.
