I've the following code which works,I was able to create a helm chart in the target cluster. when you install some chart until the application (within the chart) is available it takes time , How can I check if the application that installed via helm chart is up and running ? is there a way to do it with the helm client (we are using helm 3.5.2)
tmpfile, err := ioutil.TempFile(kp, kcp)
if err != nil {
log.Error(err, "error")
}
defer os.Remove(tmpfile.Name())
if _, err := tmpfile.Write(cfg); err != nil {
return err
}
if err := tmpfile.Close(); err != nil {
return err
}
kcfgFilePath := tmpfile.Name()
settings := cli.New()
ac := new(action.Configuration)
clientGetter := genericclioptions.NewConfigFlags(false)
clientGetter.KubeConfig = &kcfgFilePath
for _, chartInstallation := range charts {
chart, err := loader.Load(chartInstallation.Path)
if err != nil {
return err
}
releaseName := releaseName + "-" + chartInstallation.Name
if err := ac.Init(clientGetter, settings.Namespace(), os.Getenv("HELM_DRIVER"), func(format string, v ...interface{}) {
}); err != nil {
return err
}
releasePresent := true
statusAction := action.NewStatus(ac)
status, err := statusAction.Run(releaseName)
if err != nil {
if strings.Contains(err.Error(), driver.ErrReleaseNotFound.Error()) {
releasePresent = false
} else {
return err
}
}
if !releasePresent {
// install chart
installAction := action.NewInstall(ac)
installAction.CreateNamespace = true
installAction.Namespace = chartInstallation.Namespace
installAction.ReleaseName = releaseName
_, err := installAction.Run(chart, nil)
if err != nil {
return err
}
log.Info(“chart installed: ", "releaseName", releaseName)
}
if status != nil {
if releasePresent && status.Info.Status.String() == release.StatusFailed.String() {
upgradeAction := action.NewUpgrade(ac)
upgradeAction.Wait = true
upgradeAction.ReuseValues = false
upgradeAction.Recreate = false
_, err := upgradeAction.Run(releaseName, chart, nil)
if err != nil {
return err
}
}
}
You need to helm install
(or upgrade
) using the --wait
flag:
--wait
: Waits until all Pods are in a ready state, PVCs are bound, Deployments have minimum (Desired minusmaxUnavailable
) Pods in ready state and Services have an IP address (and Ingress if a LoadBalancer) before marking the release as successful. It will wait for as long as the--timeout
...
Make sure that your pods have Liveness and Readiness checks. Using the --wait
the release will only return successfully after these checks are passing.
