I am getting the error 'date: invalid date 'tomorrow'' when setting the TTL for 'tomorrow'

helm release ttl "$RELEASE" --set='tomorrow' --namespace "$NAMESPACE"

[vilaca]

Maybe TTL is not working at all?

I tried with '1 days' and got:

date: invalid date '1 days' date: invalid date '1 days' Release end of life seted in past.

Hi @vilaca!

We are sorry that you faced such experience. But I wasn't able to reproduce this bug. Could you please share more details? What OS do you use? Maybe some other details that you considering important to mention.

I tried to set TTL with explicit parameters like: helm release ttl redis --set='tomorrow' --namespace='playground' and dynamic as in you example:

RELEASE=redis
NAMESPACE=playground
helm release ttl "$RELEASE" --set='tomorrow' --namespace "$NAMESPACE"

both case works fine as expected.

that's the one needed and working (for me). the coreutils variant

Since OP/issue creator is no longer using the plugin, i suggest we close this. But it might be worth adding a mention in the readme regarding the need of the coreutils date binary, the alpine image i ran this within doesn't come default with the right binary either :smile:

Thanks, @genisd . I added a comment and closed the issue.
