## Build Environment

Kustomize does not support parameters and therefore cannot support the standard [build environment](build-environment.md).

## Kustomizing Helm charts

It's possible to [render Helm charts with Kustomize](https://github.com/kubernetes-sigs/kustomize/blob/master/examples/chart.md).
Doing so requires that you pass the `--enable-helm` flag to the `kustomize build` command.
This flag is not part of the Kustomize options within Argo CD.
If you would like to render Helm charts through Kustomize in an Argo CD application, you have two options:
You can either create a [custom plugin](https://argo-cd.readthedocs.io/en/stable/user-guide/config-management-plugins/), or modify the `argocd-cm` ConfigMap to include the `--enable-helm` flag globally for all Kustomize applications:

```
apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
name: argocd-cm
namespace: argocd
data:
kustomize.buildOptions: --enable-helm
```
