helm chart dependency - Error: directory charts/stable/tomcat not found

i've created helm chart, and trying to add dependencies to it. I've added the dependencies section in Chart.yaml .. however when i run the 'helm dependency update' command or package command, it throws error.

From what i understand, based on the dependencies specified, helm should download the dependencies and put in 'charts' folder.

# create the helm chart, name - assign4
helm create assign4 -n helm


# added the dependencies section to Chart.yaml

dependencies:
- name: stable/tomcat
  version: 3.0.1
  url: https://artifacthub.io/packages/helm/cloudnativeapp/tomcat

What need to be done to fix this ? tia !

Solution

  • I used the following in Charts.yaml, to fix the issue:

    dependencies:
- name: tomcat
  version: '9.1.5'
  repository: 'https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami'

    i.e. specified the repository and the correct version, the name can be anything we choose.
