CronJob Name Too Long - must be no more than 52 characters.

[medined]

I ran a helm command to install monoclar:

./helm install --namespace office  monocular/monocular

which resulted in the following message.

Error: release wrapping-grasshopper failed: CronJob.batch "wrapping-grasshopper-monocular-sync-scheduled-incubator" is invalid: metadata.name: Invalid value: "wrapping-grasshopper-monocular-sync-scheduled-incubator": must be no more than 52 characters

Hi all, as @medined, I'm facing the same issue: $ helm install monocular/monocular

Error: release terrifying-grasshopper failed: CronJob.batch "terrifying-grasshopper-monocular-sync-scheduled-incubator" is invalid: metadata.name: Invalid value: "terrifying-grasshopper-monocular-sync-scheduled-incubator": must be no more than 52 characters

$ echo "terrifying-grasshopper-monocular-sync-scheduled-incubator" | wc -m 58

Obviously a: $ helm install --name monocular monocular/monocular forcing the release name less than 14 characters it's a workaround for the issue.

@mattiaperi I am working on resolving this issue, however I'm getting. must be no more than 63 characters and have validated that it works for me up to 63 characters. I installed a release with name of 18 chars.

Are both of you possibly on an old helm release?

$ helm version
Client: &version.Version{SemVer:"v2.13.0", GitCommit:"79d07943b03aea2b76c12644b4b54733bc5958d6", GitTreeState:"clean"}
Server: &version.Version{SemVer:"v2.13.0", GitCommit:"79d07943b03aea2b76c12644b4b54733bc5958d6", GitTreeState:"clean"}

Nevermind, if the name is far too long it will fail on spec.template.labels at 63 chars

Otherwise it will fail on metadata.name of the cronjob at 52 chars as you've described

[harindersingh]

If you're using helm 3, --name flag is invalid and will give Error: unknown flag: --name

You can directly provide name before chartname Usage: helm install [NAME] [CHART] [flags] helm install monocular-release monocular/monocular

[Dean-Coakley]

Right, I'll try update the chart docs later today if I get a chance.

However that's unrelated to this issue: ./helm install this-is-very-long-release-name chart/monocular Will still result in a Crontab with a name too long resulting in an invalid install.
