Helm template fails on special chars in gitlab database password
Helm template can fail if "invalid" characters are included in the addons.gitlab.database.password
field. This could be resolved by updating chart/tempaltes/gitlab/secret-database.yaml
to apply quotes to the field.
Steps to reproduce:
- Create
tmp_values.yaml
:
addons:
gitlab:
enabled: true
database:
host: something
password: 'working'
# password: '}broken'
- From the bigbang repo directory, run
helm template .chart -f <path to tmp_values.yaml>
- Add a closing brace (
}
) to the password (there are likely other chars that exhibit this behavior, but this is enough for an example) - Rerun the template command and observe the template error:
Error: YAML parse error on bigbang/templates/gitlab/secret-database.yaml: error converting YAML to JSON: yaml: line 7: did not find expected node content
Suggested solution:
Update the secret-database
secret template in the gitlab templates with a quote function:
stringData:
PGPASSWORD: {{ .Values.addons.gitlab.database.password | quote }}
