argocd not find values files in source dir

Describe the bug

I used a git with some templates with many applications. I have a templates folder for the helm templates and a values dir which includes the values from specific apps to keep it clean. If I sync that to argo argo sad for example: Error: open /tmp/48059b68-23ff-495f-8bec-2097fb796f38/nfs-subdir-external-provisioner/values/nfs-csi.yaml: no such file or directory To Reproduce For example a nfs provisioner Note that the values file which not work is source.helm.valueFiles:

/apps/argocd/templates/nfs-csi.yaml
---
apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
kind: Application
metadata:
  name: nfs-csi
  namespace: argocd
spec:
  destination:
    namespace: nfs-csi
    server: {{ .Values.spec.destination.server }}
  project: default
  source:
    helm:
      valueFiles:
        - values/nfs-csi.yaml
    path: '.'
    repoURL: {{ .Values.spec.nfsCsi.source.repoURL }}
    targetRevision: {{ .Values.spec.nfsCsi.source.targetRevision }}
    chart: nfs-subdir-external-provisioner
  syncPolicy:
    automated:
      prune: false
      selfHeal: true
      allowEmpty: true
    syncOptions:
    - CreateNamespace=true

and the value file from source dir which argocd find:

/apps/argocd/values.yaml
---
spec:
  destination:
    server: https://kubernetes.default.svc
  nfsCsi:
    source:
      repoURL: "https://kubernetes-sigs.github.io/nfs-subdir-external-provisioner/"
      targetRevision: 4.0.17

and now the buggy one to fill the values from the specific application:

/apps/argocd/values/nfs-csi.yaml
---
nfs:
  server: 192.168.33.99
  path: /tank/nfs/kubernetes

Expected behavior

Argo find the files and creates the application Screenshots

Version

2.4.11

[ItsJustMagic]

I'm also having the same issue, unable to find the files specified in spec.source.helm.valueFiles

[Syntax3rror404]

Can anyone help us out please?

I'm also having the same issue, Error: failed parsing --set-file data: open /tmp/1f78e055-4d33-4837-ab36-af50d56a3a18/app-of-apps/examples/test

working solution

[crenshaw-dev]

I think @crazyproger's solution is correct.

By default, the values file must reside in the same repo as the Helm chart. With multi-source apps, you can pull a values file from a different repo for use in a Helm chart.
