I still run into the issue of not being able to disable the flag :(

[Morriz]

Hi @mumoshu, can you please implement this? It leads to more errors now, like Chart.lock out of sync errors, even though our list length of repositories in helmfiles is exactly zero. Why even bother to query all that when there is no need?

I assume that it can now be specified in helmfile.yaml

helmDefaults:
  skipDeps: true

I hope that works. Did you test that assumption? Or are you referring to some documentation your read?

[Morriz]

field skipDeps not found in type state.HelmSpec

I found it in the Configuration section of the README.md https://github.com/roboll/helmfile#configuration

Maybe you are using the old version of helmfile, because this attribute present in the master branch. https://github.com/roboll/helmfile/blob/9b64d65d9478cbe7b9bbd9d9049160108b01f6da/pkg/state/state.go#L145

We run 1.3.6 and see it mentioned in the README, but still get that error. I don't see any of the 4 PRs in 1.3.7 fixing that. Will create a separate issue for that.

Does this work?

I have the flag not being applied globally even when set at the root of my helmfiles

Aha! works with 0.163.0

does not work as --skip-deps works... with .helmDefaults.skipDeps the helm repo update command is still executed
