Changing repository url of HelmRelease doesn't sync

[hpurmann]

We were changing the URL of the git repository of a HelmRelease.
Unfortunately, the Helm Operator didn't pick that up and didn't trigger a sync.

Deleting the pod of helm-operator, thus restarting it, helped. We would expect that it automatically picks up the new url without a restart.

We also tried deleting the HelmRelease resource. Flux was re-creating the HelmRelease resource but still the old repository URL was used by helm-operator. Is this a known issue?

You just made it a known issue.

The problem is that chart clones being stored against the releaseName. In case a previous chart clone is found the operator will never look at the git source in the HelmRelease again as it already has a clone for the said release name.

Thanks a lot for the quick response and for working on a fix already! We appreciate.
