SUMMARY

Implement helm install --replace

ISSUE TYPE

• Feature Idea

COMPONENT NAME

helm

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

When a release is uninstalled with helm uninstall --keep-history, we are not able to perform a helm upgrade -i

helm list --all -o yaml                                                                                                                                                                                           
- app_version: ""
  chart: xxx-xxx
  name: test
  namespace: florian
  revision: "1"
  status: uninstalled
  updated: 2020-05-27 20:07:15.487307 +0200 CEST

To install by reusing the release name and then keep the history

helm install --replace --namespace=florian test test 

Open Questions :

• Should we add a replace option (True/False) only available when the release status is uninstalled ?
• Any other way to answer the problem ?
