HELM cannot find Deployment.spec.template.spec.containers[0]

I am building a boilerplate HELM Chart, but HELM cannot find the container name. I have tried a hard coded name as well as various formulations of the variable. Nothing works. I am stumped. Please help!

Solution

  • Your example works for me just fine, I copy pasted your code and only changed apiVersion to apps/v1. Since you say you have tried to hard code the name and still isn't working for you, I would think the problem is somewhere in the white space characters.
