Hi, I have the exact same problem, if namespace doesn't exist, no ressources are created, but terraform ends saying all is OK.
Working good if i previously create the namespace.

Its likely that helm doesn't return an error. Can you try creating a chart with helm directly and see if you get an error message?

[dawidmalina]

It will return error message like this:

Error: create: failed to create: namespaces "test" not found

Looks like this functionality (namespace creation) was remove in helm3 - helm/helm#6794

With the new helm release --create-namespace option will be added - helm/helm#7648

This was fixed in 1.1.0.
