helm CLI incorrectly splits on commas

Question

When using the helm command and overriding values using --set, if the key value contains a comma, the value is halted there. i want to pass a value with comma.

For example -set connString=service_name:8080,password=xxxxx=,abortConnect=False

and in my helm I'm using this connection string.

connString: ""

Cons__cache: "{{ .Values.connString}}"

But service_name:8080 is stored.

Answer 1

You can try this:

--set connString='service_name:8080\,password=xxxxx=\,abortConnect=False'

or

--set connString=service_name:8080\,password=xxxxx=\,abortConnect=False
