I am attempting to deploy a Helm chart to AKS using FluxCD. The chart has been pushed to Azure ACR using the Helm cli - "helm push ...". The chart is declared in the ACR as helm/release-services:0.1.0
I am receiving the following error after a Flux reconcile:
'chart pull error: failed to get chart version for remote reference: no chart name found'
with helm-controller logs as follows
{"level":"info","ts":"2022-02-07T12:40:18.121Z","logger":"controller.helmrelease","msg":"HelmChart 'flux-system/release-services-test-release-services' is not ready","reconciler group":"helm.toolkit.fluxcd.io","reconciler kind":"HelmRelease","name":"release-services","namespace":"release-services-test"} {"level":"info","ts":"2022-02-07T12:40:18.135Z","logger":"controller.helmrelease","msg":"reconcilation finished in 15.458307ms, next run in 5m0s","reconciler group":"helm.toolkit.fluxcd.io","reconciler kind":"HelmRelease","name":"release-services","namespace":"release-services-test"}

Is there anything I am missing that anyone can spot for me please?
Thank you kindly
I think your issue is that the Azure Container Registry stores Helm Charts as OCI Artifacts.
The Flux source controller will pull the index.yaml
from a HTTP Helm Chart repo to look for tags and this is not working with an OCI registry.
Here is the GitHub issue for this were you can see that the Flux guys will work on this as of now the OCI Feature is stable with Helm 3.8.0.
