helm-edit's Issues

Error: fork/exec : no such file or directory

I get the following error when I try to edit a release:

$ helm edit rancher
Error: fork/exec : no such file or directory
Usage:
  edit [flags] RELEASE

Flags:
  -a, --all                            edit all (computed) vals
  -m, --disable-default-intersection   If set, user supplied values that are the same as default values won't be "removed" from user supplied values (careful using with -a, setting both of this params won't "merge" the values and all values will become user supplied values)
  -e, --editor string                  name of the editor (default "$EDITOR")
  -h, --help                           help for edit
      --revision int                   edit the current chart with values from old revision
      --timeout duration               time to wait for any individual Kubernetes operation (like Jobs for hooks) (default 5m0s)
      --wait                           if set, will wait until all Pods, PVCs, Services, and minimum number of Pods of a Deployment are in a ready state before marking the release as successful. It will wait for as long as --timeout

Error: plugin "edit" exited with error

I use:

macOS 11.2
Helm version v3.5.1 installed via homebrew
KUBE_EDITOR set to nano, however I have tried to set HELM_EDITOR=vi, did not help.

can has namespace support?

a la -n $namespace

Build also Windows version

Error connecting to kubernetes

Executing the plugin I've found
Error: Kubernetes cluster unreachable: no Auth Provider found for name "gcp"

All helm commands are working and kubectl except the helm edit command.

Any clue?

Support of helm3

This plugin currently works with helm2 only.
Helm3 doesn't have tiller so the implementation won't work.
Can you please add the support to helm3?

Add tests

Work is lost if I make a mistake in YAML format

Steps to reproduce:

• helm edit something.
• Make a mistake in your YAML syntax

Expected outcome: I get dropped back in the editor with a comment at the top with what I did wrong, or maybe I get a prompt to fix it and then it reopens the editor

Actual outcome:

Error: error converting YAML to JSON: yaml: line 25: mapping values are not allowed in this context
Usage:
  edit [flags] RELEASE

Flags:
  -a, --all                            edit all (computed) vals
  -m, --disable-default-intersection   If set, user supplied values that are the same as default values won't be "removed" from user supplied values (careful using with -a, setting both of this params won't "merge" the values and all values will become user supplied values)
  -e, --editor string                  name of the editor (default "$EDITOR")
  -h, --help                           help for edit
      --revision int                   edit the current chart with values from old revision
      --timeout duration               time to wait for any individual Kubernetes operation (like Jobs for hooks) (default 5m0s)
      --wait                           if set, will wait until all Pods, PVCs, Services, and minimum number of Pods of a Deployment are in a ready state before marking the release as successful. It will wait for as long as --timeout

Error: plugin "edit" exited with error

... and now I've lost my work and have to reproduce my changes again.

Can't open large helm releases in VI editor of OSX

While opening helm release containing 500 lines, it was limited to only 124 lines.

can has gcp auth provider support?

this is what I get for my gcp gke cluster.

$ helm edit myrelease
Error: Kubernetes cluster unreachable: no Auth Provider found for name "gcp"
Usage:
  edit [flags] RELEASE
...

Is this still maintaining ??

Hi, this plugin is very useful for me.

But I just find out that latest support helm version is 2.7.x , but latest helm version already up to 2.14.x.

So is this still maintaining??
