* feat: add --template-args to enable helm lookup() during template/apply/sync (#1833) Add a --template-args flag to the template, apply, and sync subcommands so extra args (most notably --dry-run=server) can be passed to the helm template invocation, enabling Helm's lookup() function to resolve live cluster values. - template: --template-args reaches both chartify's pre-render helm template and the final helm template output (flagsForTemplate). - apply/sync: --template-args reaches chartify's pre-render helm template. apply/sync already inject --dry-run=server automatically for cluster operations; the flag is an explicit opt-in for the template subcommand or for passing additional flags. - When --dry-run is present in template args, kube-context/kubeconfig are also injected into chartify so lookup() can actually reach the cluster. - Resolves the long-stale PR #1833 rebased onto current main, which already contains the cluster-connectivity infrastructure (issues #2271, #2309, #2355, #2444). - Includes integration test (lookup.sh) covering both chartify and non-chartify scenarios. Signed-off-by: yxxhero <aiopsclub@163.com> * test: make lookup template nil-safe to fix integration CI The lookup() function returns an empty map when the chart is rendered without a cluster connection (notably the helm-diff phase of `helmfile apply`). The original fixture chained `index` over the lookup result, panicking with "index of untyped nil" during apply's diff rendering. Guard every index with `default dict` so the template falls back to "overwritten" when lookup is empty, while still resolving to the live value ("init") when cluster access is available (--dry-run=server via --template-args, or a real helm upgrade). Signed-off-by: yxxhero <aiopsclub@163.com> * feat: enable lookup() during apply/diff via --template-args in helm-diff Thread --template-args into the helm-diff rendering path so that `helmfile apply`/`diff --template-args="--dry-run=server"` resolves Helm's lookup() function during the diff phase too. helm-diff supports `--dry-run=server`, which explicitly "enables the cluster access ... and the lookup template function". Previously --template-args only reached chartify's pre-render (which is a no-op for plain charts due to chartify's early-return when there is no forceNamespace/patches/injections) and the final `helm template` of the `template` subcommand. As a result `helmfile apply` on a lookup chart rendered client-side during the diff phase. Changes: - pkg/state: add TemplateArgs to DiffOpts; append it in appendExtraDiffFlags (reaches every helm-diff invocation: apply, standalone diff, interactive sync), mirroring the existing flagsForTemplate handling. - pkg/config + cmd: add --template-args to the diff/doctor commands and to DiffConfigProvider, so lookup works for `helmfile diff` as well. - pkg/app: populate DiffOpts.TemplateArgs from apply/diff/sync-interactive. - docs/cli.md: correct the previous overpromising wording and document diff support plus the nil-safe lookup guidance. - tests: unit-test the TemplateArgs handling in appendExtraDiffFlags and flagsForTemplate; integration lookup.sh now exercises apply with --template-args="--dry-run=server". Signed-off-by: yxxhero <aiopsclub@163.com> * refactor: de-duplicate chartify template-args logic, add helmDefaults.templateArgs Address review feedback on #2666: 1. Eliminate stale duplicated test helpers (issue_2444_test.go, issue_2355_test.go). Both files intentionally copied the processChartification flag-building logic with explicit SYNC WARNING comments, then drifted out of sync when #2666 refactored the production code (needsKubeConnection gate, user-args merge). Extract the real logic into pure, unit-tested helpers (buildChartifyTemplateArgs, commandRequiresCluster) and delete the copies. 2. Add unit coverage for the new chartify merge path: template + --template-args=--dry-run=server now triggers kubeconfig/kube-context injection (TestTemplateArgsDryRunTriggersKubeInjection, TestTemplateArgsMergedBeforeInjection) — previously only covered by the cluster-dependent integration test. 3. Add a negative integration case (lookup.sh assert_template_fallback) verifying lookup() falls back to the default value WITHOUT --template-args, guarding against a regression that silently always connects to the cluster. 4. Add helmDefaults.templateArgs for parity with diffArgs/syncArgs, so users can enable lookup() support permanently instead of passing the flag on every invocation. CLI --template-args overrides (does not merge with) the default. Resolved via effectiveTemplateArgs, wired into the chartify, flagsForTemplate, and appendExtraDiffFlags paths. 5. Minor: capitalize --template-args help text to match surrounding flags; document helmDefaults.templateArgs precedence in docs/cli.md. Signed-off-by: yxxhero <aiopsclub@163.com> * test: cover helmDefaults->chartify composition; fix helm helm-diff typo Address remaining review nits on #2666: - Add TestHelmDefaultsTemplateArgsReachesChartify, a belt-and-suspenders test for the processChartification composition (effectiveTemplateArgs -> buildChartifyTemplateArgs), closing the last unit-level coverage gap for helmDefaults.templateArgs reaching the chartify path. - Fix pre-existing typo in cmd/bind_diff_flags.go: 'pass args to helm helm-diff' -> 'Pass args to helm-diff' (doubled 'helm', lowercase). Signed-off-by: yxxhero <aiopsclub@163.com> * fix: correct 'helm helm-diff' typo in apply --diff-args help text Sibling of the bind_diff_flags.go fix; the same doubled-'helm' typo and lowercase help existed in cmd/apply.go's --diff-args registration, leaving the apply and diff/doctor help strings inconsistent. Signed-off-by: yxxhero <aiopsclub@163.com> * docs: add helmDefaults.templateArgs to configuration reference The complete helmfile.yaml schema in docs/configuration.md documents diffArgs and syncArgs under helmDefaults but was missing the new templateArgs field added in #2666. Add it beside syncArgs for discoverability, noting the --template-args CLI override. Signed-off-by: yxxhero <aiopsclub@163.com> --------- Signed-off-by: yxxhero <aiopsclub@163.com>
