Commands
Helm-Intellisense: Lint: This command parses the currently active document and validates that all paths(like.Values.foo.bar) point to valid values.Helm-Intellisense: Lint Chart: Equivalent toLintcommand but for all files in the chart of the file that is currently active.
Settings
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
helm-intellisense.customValueFileNames | Defines list of possible files containing values<br>(default: values.yaml) |
helm-intellisense.lintFileOnSave | If set to true the Helm-Intellisense: Lint command will be executed on save (default: true) |
helm-intellisense.excludeFromLinting | Define a list of filenames which should be excluded from linting.<br> Wildcards are also possible (Example: *.gotmpl) |
Multiple value files (overriding)
When mulitple value files are defined they are parsed from the bottom up:
"helm-intellisense.customValueFileNames": [
"prod-values.yaml",
"dev-values.yaml",
"values.yaml"
]
In this case values will be overwritten/merged by dev and dev by prod. This also means that the linter will only throw an error if a certain key is not found in any of the specified files.
