A Helm plugin to validate charts against the Datree policy
👉 Docs: https://hub.datree.io/helm-plugin

helm plugin install https://github.com/datreeio/helm-datree

helm datree test [CHART_DIRECTORY]

If you need to pass helm arguments to your template, you will need to add -- before them:

helm datree test [CHART_DIRECTORY] -- --values values.yaml --set name=prod

helm datree version

helm datree help

helm plugin install https://github.com/datreeio/helm-datree
git clone [email protected]:datreeio/examples.git
helm datree test examples/helm-chart/nginx

This error occurs when trying to scan Chart.yaml or values.yaml files instead of the chart directory.
Solution: Pass the helm chart directory path to Datree's CLI, instead of to the file itself:

• Correct - helm datree test examples/helm-chart/nginx
• Wrong - helm datree test examples/helm-chart/nginx/values.yaml

The best way to determine if a false-positive result is a bug or a true misconfiguration, is by rendering the Kubernetes manifest with helm and then checking it manually:

helm template [CHART_DIRECTORY]

If after eyeballing the rendered manifest you still suspect it's a bug, please open an issue here.

Datree's Helm plugin is at an early stage of development. We do our best to maintain backwards compatibility but there may be breaking changes in the future to the command usage, flags, and configuration file formats. The CLI will output a warning message when a new version with breaking changes is detected. We encourage you to use Datree to test your Kubernetes manifests files and Helm charts, see what breaks, and contribute.
