Random Helm Errors

Problem description

I am attempting to use Pulumi to deploy the Nginx Ingress Helm Chart and I am encountering an issue where it seems to somewhat randomly fail on certain parts. Some times it will run absolutely fine, but sometimes it will fail on a particular resource, throwing the object reference not set error below. This seems to be random in what resource it fails on, I have seen it on a service account, role, PSP. It also seems to be random whether the issue happens in the preview, or in the actual create.

Reproducing the issue

Attempt to deploy the Nginx Ingress Helm Chart. Example configuration:

            _ = new Pulumi.Kubernetes.Helm.V3.Chart(name + $"ingress",
                new ChartArgs()
                {
                    Namespace = ingressNameSpace.Metadata.Apply(x => x.Name),
                    Chart = "ingress-nginx",
                    Version = args.ChartVersion,
                    Repo = args.ChartContainerRegistryName,
                    Values = ingressValues ,
                    Transformations ={
                        SetLbIp
                    }
                }, opts);

@joeduffy Yeah, I did not communicate the fix properly, so I believe @lblackstone didn’t have it on the radar. I will open a PR to the changelog, at least. Let’s try to release it soon.
