Where should i set the path to the chart

[jwillker]

HI!

I'm having a problem with the CI not correctly identifying the Chart directory

What I tried:

My workflow file:

name: Helm

on:
  pull_request:
    paths:
      - 'Charts/generic/**'
jobs:
  Lint:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - name: Checkout
        uses: actions/checkout@v1

      - name: Run chart-testing (lint)
        id: lint
        uses: helm/chart-testing-action@v1.0.0-alpha.3
        with:
          command: lint

What I hope will happen:

Run the lint only in Charts/generic directory.

How to configure this?

chart-testing searches charts in directory charts by default. You can reconfigure this with a config file:

ct.yaml

chart-dirs:
  - my-chart-dir

- name: Run chart-testing (lint)
  id: lint
  uses: helm/chart-testing-action@v1.0.0-alpha.3
  with:
    command: lint
    config: ct.yaml

Thanks! This works for me

Is it a requirement to have charts in a subdirectory vs a single top-level chart?

My current structure, for example:

.
├── Chart.lock
├── Chart.yaml
├── README.md
├── charts
│   └── postgresql-8.6.12.tgz
├── ct.yaml
├── templates
│   ├── NOTES.txt
│   ├── _helpers.tpl
│   ├── config.yaml
│   ├── deployment.yaml
│   ├── ingress.yaml
│   ├── service.yaml
│   ├── serviceaccount.yaml
│   └── tests
│       └── test-connection.yaml
└── values.yaml

This is what you get when you generate with helm create mychart.

Found the answer to this chatting on Slack.

Conclusion is that it's conventional to put charts in the charts dir instead of top level repo, so I am restructuring to:

.
├── README.md
├── charts
│   └── yetibot
│       ├── Chart.lock
│       ├── Chart.yaml
│       ├── charts
│       │   └── postgresql-8.6.12.tgz
│       ├── templates
│       │   ├── NOTES.txt
│       │   ├── _helpers.tpl
│       │   ├── config.yaml
│       │   ├── deployment.yaml
│       │   ├── ingress.yaml
│       │   ├── service.yaml
│       │   ├── serviceaccount.yaml
│       │   └── tests
│       │       └── test-connection.yaml
│       └── values.yaml
└── ct.yaml

See charts-repo-actions-demo as an example.

Thanks @scottrigby!
