Error UPGRADE FAILED failed to create resource namespaces pr-1627-app not found

Question

Hi Guys,

I am trying to upgrade my environment in my Minikube Cluster using Helm. But it is showing me the below error.

$ helm upgrade --install pr-1627-app-pull-secret cloudposse-incubator/dockercfg --version 0.1.0 --namespace pr-1627-app --wait --timeout=600 --force --reset-values --kube -context us-west-2-staging-example-com
Error: UPGRADE FAILED: failed to create resource: namespaces "pr-1627-app " not found

How can I solve this error?

Hi@akhtar,

This usually happens when the state of the resources in the Kubernetes cluster does not match what Helm knows about. Here the namespace had been deleted without first deleting the helm releases. So helm attempted to perform an upgrade on a non-existent resource.

To fix this, simply delete the errant helm release. In this case, we would run the following command to delete the pr-1627-app helm release.

$ helm delete --purge pr-1627-app

I hope this will help.
