Lint and validate a chart
Run 'helm lint', version checking, YAML schema validation on 'Chart.yaml', YAML linting on 'Chart.yaml' and 'values.yaml', and maintainer validation on
- changed charts (default)
- specific charts (--charts)
- all charts (--all)
in given chart directories.
Charts may have multiple custom values files matching the glob pattern '*-values.yaml' in a directory named 'ci' in the root of the chart's directory. The chart is linted for each of these files. If no custom values file is present, the chart is linted with defaults.
ct lint [flags]
--additional-commands strings Additional commands to run per chart (default: [])
Commands will be executed in the same order as provided in the list and will
be rendered with go template before being executed.
Example: "helm unittest --helm3 -f tests/*.yaml {{ .Path }}"
--all Process all charts except those explicitly excluded.
Disables changed charts detection and version increment checking
--chart-dirs strings Directories containing Helm charts. May be specified multiple times
or separate values with commas (default [charts])
--chart-repos strings Additional chart repositories for dependency resolutions.
Repositories should be formatted as 'name=url' (ex: local=http://127.0.0.1:8879/charts).
May be specified multiple times or separate values with commas
--chart-yaml-schema string The schema for chart.yml validation. If not specified, 'chart_schema.yaml'
is searched in the current directory, '$HOME/.ct', and '/etc/ct', in
that order.
--charts strings Specific charts to test. Disables changed charts detection and
version increment checking. May be specified multiple times
or separate values with commas
--check-version-increment Activates a check for chart version increments (default true)
--config string Config file
--debug Print CLI calls of external tools to stdout (caution: setting this may
expose sensitive data when helm-repo-extra-args contains passwords)
--exclude-deprecated Skip charts that are marked as deprecated
--excluded-charts strings Charts that should be skipped. May be specified multiple times
or separate values with commas
--helm-repo-extra-args strings Additional arguments for the 'helm repo add' command to be
specified on a per-repo basis with an equals sign as delimiter
(e.g. 'myrepo=--username test --password secret'). May be specified
multiple times or separate values with commas
-h, --help help for lint
--lint-conf string The config file for YAML linting. If not specified, 'lintconf.yaml'
is searched in the current directory, '$HOME/.ct', and '/etc/ct', in
that order
--print-config Prints the configuration to stderr (caution: setting this may
expose sensitive data when helm-repo-extra-args contains passwords)
--remote string The name of the Git remote used to identify changed charts (default "origin")
--since string The Git reference used to identify changed charts (default "HEAD")
--target-branch string The name of the target branch used to identify changed charts (default "master")
--validate-chart-schema Enable schema validation of 'Chart.yaml' using Yamale (default true)
--validate-maintainers Enable validation of maintainer account names in chart.yml.

--validate-yaml Enable linting of 'Chart.yaml' and values files (default true)
