I am trying to upgrade a chart but when I run upgrade command, upgrade fails with the following error.

nit:~/copy> helm upgrade chart-repository chart-repository/ Error: UPGRADE FAILED: "chart-repository" has no deployed releases

but when I do helm list -A , it looks to me it is deployed.

nit:~/copy> helm ls -A NAME NAMESPACE REVISION UPDATED STATUS CHART APP VERSION chart-repository charts 1 2021-06-08 14:43:05.186875759 +0000 UTC deployed chart-repository-0.0.16 0.0.14

So, why is the upgrade failing? i am using helm 3.6.0.

Thanks

You're missing namespace in the upgrade command. Following should work:

helm upgrade chart-repository chart-repository/ -n charts

  • hi, thanks. that worked but i am getting this error. any idea why i might be guessing this error: UPGRADE FAILED: cannot patch "chart-repository-chartmuseum" with kind Deployment: Deployment.apps "chart-repository-chartmuseum" is invalid: spec.selector: Invalid value: v1.LabelSelector{MatchLabels:map[string]string{"app.kubernetes.io/instance":"chart-repository", "app.kubernetes.io/name":"chartmuseum"}, MatchExpressions:[]v1.LabelSelectorRequirement(nil)}: field is immutable Commented Jun 8, 2021 at 20:11
  • So selector changed and it does not support this kind of upgrade. What you can do - delete this deployment via kubectl (kubectl delete deployment chart-repository-chartmuseum) - and then re-do the helm upgrade command. Note that this would cause some downtime. Commented Jun 8, 2021 at 21:50
