Troubleshooting

HelmInstaller task running on a private agent behind a proxy fails to download helm package

The HelmInstaller task does not use the proxy settings to download the file https://get.helm.sh/helm-v3.1.0-linux-amd64.zip. You can work around this by pre-installing Helm on your private agents.

Examples

The following YAML example showcases the installation of latest version of helm binary on the agent -

- task: HelmInstaller@1
  displayName: Helm installer
  inputs: 
    helmVersionToInstall: latest

The following YAML example demonstrates the use of an explicit version string rather than installing the latest version available at the time of task execution -

- task: HelmInstaller@1
  displayName: Helm installer
  inputs: 
    helmVersionToInstall: 2.14.1
