New users to helm don't always run `helm init` (e.g. if their cluster
already has helm installed). The user's initial interaction with any of
helm's repository commands (e.g. `helm repo list`) will then be an error
message due to a missing repositories.yaml in their local config.
Give the user a little hint about how to fix the error without them having
to hunt through the man/help pages.
* Closes#2937
Added required dependency to run make test in developer's guide
* Fixed base URL appending when chart address is not absolute
* Removed requirement from developers.md
* Fixed unnecessary line breaks
* Added tests for query string repo
* Returning URL along with error
This prevents clients from seeing half-written files because
on POSIX systems renaming a file is an atomic operation.
Drive-by: Add test for repo file permission.
This flattens the getter package tree, adds tests, and changes a little
bit of the terminology to follow Go idioms. This also makes much of the
getter API private to begin with. This will give us more flexibility in
the future.
It is now possible to create plugins with chart download capabilities for custom, non-http protocols.
Furthermore it is possible to reuse helm packages to implement alternative clients with these custom downloader functions.
This exposes the skip-refresh flag to helm init to make it possible to
initialize Helm without fetching the index.yaml of the stable repo.
This mirrors the behavior of 'helm dep up's skip-refresh flag.
Closes#2127
When downloader package moved to under /pkg, helmpath functions got called still from it, while it is under /cmd. This commit fixes the issue by moving helmpath after the downloader to have only cmd->pkg and pkg->pkg calls.
A regression was committed during 2.2.0 that broke the repositories.yaml
file format, switching the cache path from relative to absolute. This
fixes the error.
Closes#1974
This switches the local chart repo to use 127.0.0.1 instead of localhost
so that the net library does not negotiate localhost to an IPv6 address,
which is known to cause issues in some Docker containers.
Breaking Change: When testing on a system that does NOT have IPv4
configured, this will break 'helm serve'. We estimate this will impact
none of the current user base.
Closes#1410
Previous versions of Helm had placeholder text in the index.yaml file.
This generates an HTML index for 'helm serve'. It also has a
refactoring of the server so that the server can be tested.
Closes#1397
This prevents the index command from recursing through directories.
Behind the scenes, it swaps out the repository logic for the index file
logic.
Closes#1328
Between Alpha.4 and Alpha.5 there was a change in the indexing logic.
This prevent indices from being appended to (because those index files
were often broken). This change allows the user to explicitly merge an
existing index and a generated index.
Closes#1334
I wrote urlJoin to fix URL joining, but I put it in the wrong place and
never used it. This moves it to the right place, and replaces the hacky
previous solution.
This removes the requirement that a fetch or install command must
explicitly state the version number to install. Instead, this goes to
the strategy used by OS package managers: Install the latest until told
to do otherwise.
Closes#1198
This performs a relatively weak in-memory translation of index file
data. It does not, in most cases, write the corrected data to disk, and
it emits a warning directly to STDERR each time it loads a deprecated
index.
Known limitations:
- It cannot recover certain bogus records that earlier alpha releases
generated (notably, where all chartfile data is missing)
- In some cases, it has to parse a filename to get version info. This is
lossy.
- Because it takes three passes through the YAML and JSON unmarshal, it
is not performant.
This feature is transitional and should be removed during the Beta
cycle, prior to the release of 2.0.0.
Closes#1265
