Cannot build a project imported with the --nested-repo option

[svilenvul]

Hello,

We need your help with building a project using the the maven-quarkus-buildpack. The project is imported with the --nested-repo option (adding support for nested repositories in GitLab).

Currently our build is failing in one of the last steps promote-helm-release.

We tried to debug this today and found following conflicts:

1. In the build step step-promote-changelog the pipeline was not able to find our Helm chart. We realized this by the fact that there was a log message no charts which we tracked to this script:

   jx/.github/workflows/jenkins-x/changelog.sh

   Line 13 in 19684a1

   echo no charts

2. This was resulting in the fact that JX was not updating the version of the Helm Chart located in the charts folder with the name my-organisation-my-suborganisation-my-service-name (concatenated name with dashes). This chart folder is created during the project import with the --nested-repo option
3. Because of that the step-promote-helm-release step was failing with the error

error: failed to create chart release in dir charts/my-organisation-my-suborganisation-my-service-name: failed to publish: failed to run 'curl --fail -sS -u ....:..... --data-binary @my-organisation-my-suborganisation-my-service-name-1.0.3.tgz http://jenkins-x-chartmuseum.jx.svc.cluster.local:8080/api/charts' command in directory 'charts/my-organisation-my-suborganisation-my-service-name', output: 'curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 500'     

4. Looking on the .jx/variables.sh generated during the build we saw that the REPO_NAME variable was not matching the directory where the chart is located. The variable had the value my-organisation/my-suborganisation/my-service-name (concatenated with forward slash)

We are providing here the output of the build logs and the .jx/variables.sh

• .jx/variables.sh

we are blocked at the last step by this helm promote release step, which is connected to nested projects. Can you please help here, cause it will allow us to use JXv3 fully. Currently on hold because of this issue.

Many thanks!

Replace:

- name: promote-changelog
  resources: {}

with (basically replace REPO_NAME with subgroup-repo)

- image: ghcr.io/jenkins-x/jx-changelog:0.2.0
          name: promote-changelog
          resources: {}
          script: |
            #!/usr/bin/env sh
            source .jx/variables.sh
            cat .jx/variables.sh
            if [ -d "charts/$REPO_NAME" ]; then
            jx gitops yset -p version -v "$VERSION" -f ./charts/$REPO_NAME/Chart.yaml
            jx gitops yset -p appVersion -v "$VERSION" -f ./charts/$REPO_NAME/Chart.yaml
            jx gitops yset -p 'image.repository' -v $DOCKER_REGISTRY/$DOCKER_REGISTRY_ORG/$APP_NAME -f ./charts/$REPO_NAME/values.yaml
            jx gitops yset -p 'image.tag' -v "$VERSION" -f ./charts/$REPO_NAME/values.yaml;
            else echo no charts; fi
            git add * || true
            git commit -a -m "chore: release $VERSION" --allow-empty
            git tag -fa v$VERSION -m "Release version $VERSION"
            git push --force origin v$VERSION
            jx changelog create --version v${VERSION}

For example, for my test I have export REPO_NAME=cluster-print-go

The latest jx version has the fixes.
