I'm receiving the following error when the runner is trying to retrieve a resource:

checking failed -
Expected to find variables: git

my resource looks similar to:

- name: resource-repo
  type: git
  source:
    uri: https://[url]
    branch: master
    tag_filter: '*'
    username: ((git.username))
    password: ((git.password))

my values.yaml for the helm chart includes:

rbac:
  create: false

credentialManager:
  kubernetes:
    namespacePrefix: concourse

(regardless, the release name is concourse)

under namespace concourse-main i have the the secret: 

Details
Name: git
Namespace: concourse-main
Type: Opaque

Data

Based on information from the documentation:

By default, this chart will use Kubernetes Secrets as a credential manager. For a given Concourse team, a pipeline will look for secrets in a namespace named [namespacePrefix][teamName]. The namespace prefix is the release name hyphen by default, and can be overridden with the value credentialManager.kubernetes.namespacePrefix.

In your configuration, I see the secret in a namespace of your secret is concourse-main, but a default namespacePrefix is concourse.

So, Concourse trying to get your secret from a wrong namespace.

You can fix it using two ways:

  1. Create a secret in the namespace concourse.
  2. Change namespacePrefix to concourse-main.

  • I'm not sure i understand. To which container am i supposed to link the variables? from the documentation it looks like Concourse is supposed to be pulling the variables on its own: https://github.com/kubernetes/charts/tree/master/stable/concourse#kubernetes-secrets – Deano Mar 23 '18 at 06:06
  • @Deano yep, it using them directly, I updated my answer – Anton Kostenko Mar 23 '18 at 07:38
