Install and test a chart
Run 'helm install', 'helm test', and optionally 'helm upgrade' on
- changed charts (default)
- specific charts (--charts)
- all charts (--all)
in given chart directories. If upgrade (--upgrade) is true, then this command will validate that 'helm test' passes for the following upgrade paths:
- previous chart revision => current chart version (if non-breaking SemVer change)
- current chart version => current chart version
Charts may have multiple custom values files matching the glob pattern '*-values.yaml' in a directory named 'ci' in the root of the chart's directory. The chart is installed and tested for each of these files. If no custom values file is present, the chart is installed and tested with defaults.
