Hello! I couldn’t import the already deployed helm...
# kubernetes

Hello! I couldn’t import the already deployed helm release from my k8s cluster. I wonder its intended behavior. Could anyone help with this issue?
My test scenario is below: 1, I installed the nginx helm chart to my k8s cluster(in 
default
namespace)
Copy code
helm repo add bitnami <https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami>
helm install nx-test bitnami/nginx
2. I tried to import the upper release using the import feature.
Copy code
import * as k8s from "@pulumi/kubernetes";

const release = new k8s.helm.v3.Release("nx-test", {
    name: "nx-test",
    chart: "nginx",
    version: "9.8.0",
    repositoryOpts: {
        repo: "<https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami>"
    },
    namespace: "default"
}, {
    import: `default/nx-test`
})
3. But, it was failed…
Copy code
$ pulumi up

release.
Copy code
helm uninstall nx-test
5. installed 
nx-test
using pulumi. (using code in number 2, with removed CustomResourceOptions)
Copy code

I'd try importing it with the Pulumi import command to see what code it generates to understand the delta.

          + repo    : "<https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami|https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami>"
        }
IMO, there is no 
repositoryOpts
and 
repoUrl
in the info of helm release.
Copy code
$ helm status nx-test
NAME: nx-test
LAST DEPLOYED: Thu Feb 24 19:37:34 2022
NAMESPACE: default
STATUS: deployed
REVISION: 1
TEST SUITE: None
NOTES:
CHART NAME: nginx
CHART VERSION: 9.8.0
APP VERSION: 1.21.6

** Please be patient while the chart is being deployed **

NGINX can be accessed through the following DNS name from within your cluster:

    nx-test-nginx.default.svc.cluster.local (port 80)

To access NGINX from outside the cluster, follow the steps below:

1. Get the NGINX URL by running these commands:

  NOTE: It may take a few minutes for the LoadBalancer IP to be available.
        Watch the status with: 'kubectl get svc --namespace default -w nx-test-nginx'

    export SERVICE_PORT=$(kubectl get --namespace default -o jsonpath="{.spec.ports[0].port}" services nx-test-nginx)
    export SERVICE_IP=$(kubectl get svc --namespace default nx-test-nginx -o jsonpath='{.status.loadBalancer.ingress[0].ip}')
    echo "http://${SERVICE_IP}:${SERVICE_PORT}"
Hello, @bored-table-20691 Sorry to bother you… Is there any update about this issue?
b
Just FYI - I’m not a Pulumi employee/contributor, just another user.
The 
helmv3.Release
resource does seem to have a 
repositoryOpts
argument: https://www.pulumi.com/registry/packages/kubernetes/api-docs/helm/v3/release/#repositoryopts_nodejs
So you should be able to add this to your code.
n
Oh, thank you for your advise! I already added 
repositoryOpts
in my code... I will research about this issue on pulumi code. Thank you for your help.
p
FWIW, I’m having the same issue. I think this is some kind of a bug, imports with Helm charts do not work, neither via import attribute nor via command-line directly.
