You can also specify a specific Kubernetes version to validate the chart against.

helm kubeval . -v 1.9.0

Kubeval has a number of flags which can alter it's behaviour, from ignoring specific resources to exiting on the first error to disallowing properties not specified in the schema. Kubeval options automatically passed to Kubeval, with any other options being passed to Helm in the same way as helm template. This means you could set values before validating the chart. eg.

helm kubeval charts/stable/nginx-ingress --set controller.image.tag=latest
