I have a deployment pipeline in Azure Devops to deploy a chart to my Kubernetes cluster. I'm using the built in Helm tasks to:
My Tiller Upgrade YAML (step 3) is as follows:
steps:
- task: HelmDeploy@0
displayName: 'helm upgrade'
inputs:
azureSubscription: '****'
azureResourceGroup: '****'
kubernetesCluster: ****
command: upgrade
chartType: FilePath
chartPath: '$(System.DefaultWorkingDirectory)/_Helm Chart Package/charts/****.tgz'
releaseName: ****
waitForExecution: false
enableTls: true
caCert: '****'
certificate: '****'
privatekey: '****'
Note that Install if not present is checked although I don't see how that is represented in the YAML.
It works sometimes but most of the time I get the following exception:
3627 portforward.go:363] error copying from remote stream to local connection: readfrom tcp4 127.0.0.1:33429->127.0.0.1:39710: write tcp4 127.0.0.1:33429->127.0.0.1:39710: write: broken pipe
This always happens after my charts have been deployed successfully. I tried removing the --wait param but that did not help and the task still fails causing my deployment pipeline to fail. There is a known issue for this on the Helm Github but is there a way to get this error to not fail my task and as a result my deployment pipeline?
you can select "continue on error" when configuring task (under control options), which will do just that, continue running after an error.
although, I have to admit I dont see that error at all, i sometimes see this error when I create helm release right after creating AKS and AKS is bringing up system pods, so under load.
