Over the night all our builds and releases pipelines failed due to introducing the new Helm Install task or 3.0 Helm release. We manage to fix Helm install by using the *1 version in preview and install last working helm which was 2.16.0. After that our task Heml Init failed because it cannot find the kubectl. Yesterday everything was working fine. This is happening across our all builds and releases. Directory in which it trying to find kubectl is empty for some reason. Did something changed over the night?

- task: HelmInstaller@0
displayName: 'Install Helm 2.16.1'
inputs:
helmVersion: 2.16.1
checkLatestHelmVersion: false
