Describe the bug
Helm chart via kustomize failing to deploy with you may need to run helm dependency build error.
kustomize build locally was giving the same error until I run helm dep build when chart.lock and .tgz files were added the kustomize build no longer resulted in an error locally.
I've tried to add Chart.lock to the repo, but that did not change the outcome.
Adding .tgz file to the repo did solve the issue, however I wonder if that is actually the intended behavior? Is it mandatory commit dependency .tgz files for it to work?

I'm seeing a lot of those errors in repo-server. I use helm charts that have some dependency in Chart.yaml. The errors seems to happen only during a day when our dev team deploys apps via CICD however the error happens for Applications that are not even being deploy. So we run CICD for App1 and we see error for App2 that haven't been deployed for days. The commands we use in CICD are:
- argocd app diif
- argocd app set
- argocd app sync
- argocd app wait
Argo UI shows all the apps in "sync" state anyway, but from time to time this error happens during CICD on "argocd app sync" then whole pipeline crashes. Argocd 2.4.18 Worth to mention we use "soaps" as a wrapper for helm.
Repo server shows that it happens for 'helm template' command:
I'm seeing that same error message for a chart that is configured with a local dependency like that:
apiVersion: v2
name: myApp
description: myApp
type: application
version: 1.0.0
appVersion: 1.0.0
dependencies:
- name: service
version: 0.1.0
repository: file://../../helm-charts/service
my folder structure is:
project
-- apps
---- myApp
------ Chart.yaml
-- helm-charts
---- service
------ Chart.yaml
I'm getting:
rpc error: code = Unknown desc = Manifest generation error (cached): `helm template . --name-template ...

An error occurred while checking for chart dependencies.

Update:
I downgraded ArgoCD on my cluster to version v2.5.4+86b2dde that I have on the other cluster where the same configuration works fine and after deploying my app I'm getting the same error 🤷🏻♂️ FFS!
@crenshaw-dev I'd appreciate if you could at least have a look and maybe suggest something 🙏🏻
Just guessing that in my case it happens because argocd is simply executing kustomize, and kustomize does not work without executing helm dependency build prior.
I found this gist which shows how to write a custom plugin. Can't get it to work, but thought it might help others: https://github.com/argoproj/argocd-example-apps/blob/master/plugins/kustomized-helm/README.md
@AurimasNav
Yes, I think ArgoCD simply executes kustomize build --enable-helm internally.
Does the following manifest not enough for your use case?
Or I'm afraid we should use ConfigMapPlugin as @audleman suggested.
apiVersion: kustomize.config.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: Kustomization
resources:
- ./namespace.yaml
helmCharts:
- name: external-secrets
repo: https://charts.external-secrets.io
releaseName: external-secrets
namespace: external-secrets
valuesFile: external-secrets-values.yaml
It seems like that kustomize build --enable-helm runs helm pull --repo ${helmCharts.repo} internally, and pulls helm charts locally, then templates it.
If we have a local chart directory, kustomize skips helm pull. So you got the error you mentioned.
any updates? do we really need a plugin? getting the same errors with local helm charts wo kustomize
I'm seeing that same error message for a chart that is configured with a local dependency like that:
apiVersion: v2 name: myApp description: myApp type: application version: 1.0.0 appVersion: 1.0.0 dependencies: - name: service version: 0.1.0 repository: file://../../helm-charts/service
Mine is similar and I face the same. Everything deploys just fine, but logs are flooded with this error.
I solved increasing the argo-cd timeout ...
ARGOCD_EXEC_TIMEOUT
did it help? what value did you set?
please be aware of https://github.com/argoproj/argo-cd/issues/18122#issuecomment-2200231002 as the log message doesn't necessarily mean a real error, as right now it seems to be "by design" reported once when you do a hard refresh. That doesn't mean that there might be another bug but in case you actually have your applications in-sync and just see the error message in the logs, then this is probably just "bad noise".
