Unalble to pull a new container after upgrading Helm

Question

I have build a simple NodeJS API, then I pushed the Docker Image to a repo and deployed it to my k8s with Helm install which worked fine.

I have set the pullPolicy to Always.

Now what I am trying to do is to update the source code and deploy the updated version of my app. I c the version in all files, built and pushed the new Docker image and tried helm upgrade but it doesn't seems to work out. With helm list  revision was deployed but the changes to source code were not deployed. watch kubectl get pods also shows that no new pods were created the way you expect it with kubectl --apply...

I am unable to figure out that what am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

If there are changes to roll out, Helm will roll out the change to Kubernetes objects. If you are using  :latest there is no change to be applied to the deployment file, ergo no pods will rolling update.To keep using latest, you need to add something like label with sha / version that will change and will cause deployment to get updated by helm.I hope your query would be resolved with this.
