I got this error. in airflow: chart metadata (Chart.yaml) missing but I actually have the Chart.yaml file under airflow/.

Chart.yaml charts requirements.yaml tiller.yaml
Icon? requirements.lock templates values.yaml

helm version & kubectl pod below

$ helm version

I also had the error with Airflow. I noticed that you have to respect the folder structure. This example will fail:

./charts ./charts/airflow ./charts/template ---> will produce the error 

While this folder structure will work:

./charts ./charts/airflow templates --> will work

The directory must not contain a directory with the same name as the chart name.

For anyone stumbling on this, the answer is over here:

detailed information about helm upgrade and requirements you can find here:

In your example please go to airflow-kube-helm directory and run:

helm upgrade --install airflow ./airflow/ --namespace airflow --values ./airflow/values.yaml

In case the previously deployment failed, please use helm delete (your_release_name) --purgeMore info about this issue here and here

Hope this help. Please share with your findings.

I had a similar issue when trying to install Ingress Nginx using Helm.

For me I put the helm commands in a script called install.sh, however, I was not running the file within the folder where the install.sh script.

I was running it this way sh ingress-nginx/install.sh, and it was returning the error.

All I had to do was cd into the folder and run the script:

cd sh ingress-nginx
sh install.sh

And it ran successfully this time.
