"Upgrade a Helm Chart" task does not replace variables in values.yaml

[mark.neves]

I’ve tried everything to get Octopus to replace #{} variables in the values.yaml file of my helm package using the “Upgrade a Helm Chart” task, but without luck. In the end I created a extra file called MyValues.yaml, and specified that in the “Files in Chart Package” section using “./[packageName]/MyValues.yaml”

Sharing this in case I can help someone else not spend an hour trying to get this to work! Also, would be nice to know if this is a known bug, or if I’m missing a trick.

Hi Mark,

Thanks for reaching out. I’m sorry that this isn’t working well for you, but also glad that you’ve got a workaround for now. I’m going to try to reproduce this one myself and see if I can get to the bottom of the issue here. I’ll let you know how I go.

Kind regards,
Andrew.
