Question

I am getting started with Pulumi and set up a Helm Release resource pointing to a chart in my local filesystem The first deploy worked successfully but I am noticing that when I update the chart Pulumi never tries to deploy it as it thinks there are no changes Makes sense since nothing in the Pulumi layer changed but not ideal for how I am trying to manage this deployment Is there any technique I should use here My search attempts have come up empty

I actually figured something out Maybe this is non idiomatic but it works for my current needs I am defining a variable that is set to a hash of the chart s contents so if anything changes Pulumi will update the release but if it doesn t change Pulumi will leave it alone The variable looks like this ```variables chart hash fn invoke function command local run arguments command find argocd bootstrap type f | sort | xargs openssl sha256 | openssl sha256``` And then I pass it to the helm chart as an unused value ``` values chartHash $ chart hash ```
