how to pass array in helmfile

Question

I have helmfile

releases:
  - name: controller
    values:    
      - values/valuedata.yaml
    hooks:
      {{ toYaml .Values.hooks }}

file with values

hooks:
  - events: [ "presync" ]
    showlogs: true
    command: "bash"
    args: [ "args"]

I want to pass the hooks from values how I can do it ? I tried many ways and I got an error This is the command

helmfile --file ./myhelmfile.yaml sync

 failed to read myhelmfile.yaml: reading document at index 1: yaml: line 26: did not find expected '-' indicator

What you try to do is to inline part of the values.yaml into your template. Therefore you need to take care of the indentation properly.

In your case I think it'll be something like this:

releases:
  - name: controller
    values:    
      - values/valuedata.yaml
    hooks:
{{ toYaml .Values.hooks | indent 6 }}

You can find a working example of a similar case here.

Why the indent is 6 ? – user1365697 Dec 08 '21 at 21:39

I think it's 6, but you can check if it's correct. I think 6, because you'd like to have 6 speca characters in the line after `hooks:` – Rafał Leszko Dec 09 '21 at 08:36
