I’ll need more info. Can you send over the deployment and also the application yaml you’re attempting to use?

apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
kind: Application

  name: testapp
  namespace: default

https://github.com/abrarcv170/helmfiletest.git ,this is a public repo you can check the helmfile .

kubeVersionOverride: "1.16.15"
repoServer:
  initContainers:
  - name: download-tools
    image: alpine:3.8
    command: [sh, -c]
    args:
      - wget -qO /custom-tools/argo-cd-helmfile.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com/travisghansen/argo-cd-helmfile/master/src/argo-cd-helmfile.sh &&
        chmod +x /custom-tools/argo-cd-helmfile.sh &&
        wget -qO /custom-tools/helmfile https://github.com/roboll/helmfile/releases/download/v0.138.7/helmfile_linux_amd64 &&
        chmod +x /custom-tools/helmfile
    volumeMounts:
      - mountPath: /custom-tools

  volumeMounts:

  - mountPath: /usr/local/bin/helmfile
    name: custom-tools
    subPath: helmfile
  volumes:
  - name: custom-tools
    emptyDir: {}

This is the helm value file of argocd

[travisghansen]

ok, and in the server config you'll need something like this:

    configManagementPlugins: |
      - name: helmfile
        init:                          # Optional command to initialize application source directory
          command: ["argo-cd-helmfile.sh"]
          args: ["init"]
        generate:                      # Command to generate manifests YAML
          command: ["argo-cd-helmfile.sh"]
          args: ["generate"]

do you have that?
