(external-secrets addon): allow specifying `wait` property when deploying the helm chart so the `webhook` pod can stabilize

Describe the bug

When deploying the ExternalSecrets addon together with a ClusterSecretStore or any resource that is of type ExternalSecrets CRD for the first time the deployment fails with the following error:

Received response status [FAILED] from custom resource. Message returned: Error: b'Error from server (InternalError): error when creating "/tmp/manifest.yaml": Internal error occurred:
failed calling webhook "validate.clustersecretstore.external-secrets.io": Post "https://external-secrets-webhook.external-secrets.svc:443/validate-external-secrets-io-v1beta1-clusterse
cretstore?timeout=5s": no endpoints available for service "external-secrets-webhook"\n'

I do have a dependency between the ClusterSecretStore and the ExternalSecrets addon, but the error persists. It seems other users had the same issue: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/73711481/in-cdk-can-i-wait-until-a-helm-installed-operator-is-running-before-applying-a

The error happens only when deploying the ExternalSecrets for the first time together with some custom resource that requires it to be up and running. If the ExternalSecrets is deployed from a previous deployment, the next deployments can add custom resources.

Expected Behavior

ExternalSecrets deployed and running, together with the custom resource ClusterSecretStore added.

Current Behavior

Cloudformation deployment fails with the error from above.

Reproduction Steps

Create a new stack, add the addon and create a custom resource, then deploy the stack.

Possible Solution

Allow specifying the wait property when deploying the ExternalSecrets addon, so it can be set to true: https://github.com/aws-quickstart/cdk-eks-blueprints/blob/main/lib/addons/external-secrets/index.ts#L93

Additional Information/Context

I have tried modifying the code locally by including the wait property and setting it to true as suggested from StackOverflow it worked.

@Mr-istov Thank you! Yes, in the other clusters I had to configure the chart to wait for the ready state.

I’ve opened the PR for the fix.

Mmh, it seems the props for wait and timeout are not to be meant as user props in HelmAddOnUserProps which are in HelmChartDeployment and internally used… … I guess in the meantime it’s only deployable by two steps. First deploy ESO, then the stores and secrets.

Thank you @pflorek for opening a PR to address this. Yeah, it’s not a problem for now to deploy it in two steps until your PR is merged.
