v2.5.0 is giving an error of targetBranch main does not exist

[jessebot]

After #132 was fixed (which it was for me), I seem to be seeing the following error with my job:

Run changed=$(ct list-changed --target-branch main)
  changed=$(ct list-changed --target-branch main)
  if [[ -n "$changed" ]]; then
    echo "changed=true" >> "$GITHUB_OUTPUT"
  fi
  shell: /usr/bin/bash -e {0}
  env:
    CT_CONFIG_DIR: /opt/hostedtoolcache/ct/3.9.0/amd64/etc
    VIRTUAL_ENV: /opt/hostedtoolcache/ct/3.9.0/amd64/venv
Error: targetBranch 'main' does not exist
Error: Process completed with exit code 1.

In my own repos, I have moved forward, so this probably won't affect me personally for another week or two, but if I understand correctly, this is also affecting others.

Happening the same over here.

Seems to be related to helm/chart-testing#577 and helm/chart-testing#601

I thought I was getting mad about this output.

@jessebot i will try to figure out what is going on today, but be kind i do that in my free time

[tboerger]

You are doing a great job @cpanato, thanks for your effort! ;)

[eyenx]

Thanks for your hard work, friend! Updated my language, sorry for my tone 💙

I suspect that this issue might be caused by helm/chart-testing#511; I'm just running a test to revert the ct binary back to v3.8.0 to see if that fixes the issue.

[stevehipwell]

I can confirm that setting version: v3.8.0 in the with block fixes the error by reverting the ct version.

[patrick-stephens]

thanks @stevehipwell for being everywhere I need you :)
I can confirm this is working for us now as well:

      - name: Set up chart-testing
        uses: helm/[email protected]
        with:
          version: v3.8.0

[cpanato]

ack, this helm/chart-testing#601 should fix the issue, already tested the main branch here https://github.com/cpanato/testing-ci-providers/actions/runs/6707913084/job/18227518159?pr=1839 and seems to work again

running a v3.10.0 release and will update the action soon

[cpanato]

ok this https://github.com/helm/chart-testing/releases/tag/v3.10.0 and the chart-testing-action release https://github.com/helm/chart-testing-action/releases/tag/v2.6.0 should fix this issue

a test run here: https://github.com/cpanato/testing-ci-providers/actions/runs/6708194049/job/18228414875?pr=1839

Hello,

I'm still seeing the problem and the error says origin/main doesn't exist.

Below is the config that I've. Any ideas on what I'm missing please?

workflow.yaml:

ct.yaml

[LazyKeru]

@srinath92 Can you show how you checkout the git repo ? I had the same issue, however I just forgot to set the git checkout with the option fetch-depth: 0. Now everything is working as normal

[sonnysideup]

chart-testing-action: v2.6.1
ct: v3.10.1

I can verify that omitting fetch-depth: 0 from the checkout action will result in this error. Adding that argument resolves the issue for me.

[cpanato]

you need the fetch-depth: 0
