|---|---|---|
Chart.yaml: version is required | Missing or malformed version field | Add a valid SemVer version string to Chart.yaml |
parse error in template | Go template syntax error (missing end, wrong function) | Run helm template . to pinpoint the error; check bracket matching and function names |
dependency not found | Chart dependency not downloaded | Run helm dependency update to fetch dependencies into charts/ |
release failed: timed out waiting for condition | Pods not reaching ready state during install | Check pod logs; verify image exists, resource limits are sufficient, and probes are correct |
values override not applied | Wrong values file path or key mismatch | Verify --values file path and that keys match the structure in values.yaml exactly |
Provides behavioral guidelines to reduce common LLM coding mistakes, focusing on simplicity, surgical changes, assumption surfacing, and verifiable success criteria.
