error when selector does not match anything

[sstarcher]

If I run helmfile -l name=bob sync and we have no release named bob I would expect helmfile to exit with an error. Currently it exists with a code of 0.

Good catch! Thats should be fixed.

I just encountered the opposite of this. If I have nothing that matches the selector, I would expect an error but I would also like to silence this or have a seperate error to the normal error.

Mainly I use helmfile in this way:

helmfile -f ./path/to/helmfile --selector state!=active delete
helmfile -f ./path/to/helmfile --selector state=active sync

This allows me to delete from code rather than manually. The problem is when there is nothing to delete, helmfile errors out. This should be a different error to when something is failing to delete.

@lswith Good point!
Would an exit code of 2 suffice your need?

[mumoshu]

@lswith Anyway, opened #219 for that.

I'm closing this as the original issue has been resolved via #165
