Chart Values are not getting overidden

[vinapp]

Looks like the values are not getting overidden even when i use setRaw(yamlString). Below is the code. Here I am trying to override the image repository.

Code:

final Map<String, Object> yaml = new LinkedHashMap<>();
yaml.put("image.repository", "registry/test/my-server");
final String yamlString = new Yaml().dump(yaml);
requestBuilder.getValuesBuilder().setRaw(yamlString);
final Future<InstallReleaseResponse> releaseFuture = releaseManager.install(requestBuilder, chart);

This (override) works fine from the helm command line.

Currently I am using microbean-helm version 2.8.2.1.1.1 - os.detected.classifier=osx-x86_64

Just a quick question: are you doing the same stuff as the example?

[ljnelson]

(I’m on my phone but yes it looks like that’s what you’re doing. The example works; I’ll look at your scenario soon.)

[ljnelson]

You appear to be doing everything correctly. Here's the problem: there's not much I can do. Both the Request.Builder and Values.Builder interfaces are generated (I didn't write them). They do whatever they do. As I mentioned, the example works. Is it possible that you are setting a YAML value that isn't actually being retrieved or parsed? That is, perhaps the value you are passing is not the one that you meant to pass; maybe it's supposed to be imageRepository or something.

Ah, in fact it's a YAML problem.

Either you are (a) trying to actually set a scalar key named image.repository to a value or (b) trying to set a scalar key named repository under a map key named image to a value. As you have written things, you are doing (a); I suspect you want to do (b).

You have a couple of choices. Remember that ultimately you're trying to set a raw YAML string, so how you produce that string is up to you. If you choose to build a Map and then have the Yaml object dump it for you, then you want to do something ponderous like this:

// untested
final Map<String, Object> repositoryMap = new HashMap<>();
repositoryMap.put("repository", "registry/test/my-server");
final Map<String, Object> imageMap = new HashMap<>();
imageMap.put("image", repositoryMap);

Then dump imageMap.

Alternatively you could just build the string directly:

requestBuilder.getValuesBuilder().setRaw("image:\n  repository: registry/test/my-server");

Closing as this is not a bug, unless you consider all of YAML itself to be a giant horrible bug foisted upon the universe (which I do) 😄 .

@ljnelson thanks a lot it saved my time. It would be good if the example sample is updated for "scalar keys" as well. Thanks Again !!!
