Unable to install via Helm

[wshelley]

On a new RBAC kube cluster I get the following errors on installation:

Looks like some kind of CRD race condition?

$ helm install --name kubeapps --namespace kubeapps bitnami/kubeapps

Error: unable to decode "": no kind "AppRepository" is registered for version "kubeapps.com/v1alpha1"


$ helm install --name kubeapps --namespace kubeapps bitnami/kubeapps

Error: apprepositories.kubeapps.com "bitnami" already exists


$helm version

Client: &version.Version{SemVer:"v2.11.0", GitCommit:"2e55dbe1fdb5fdb96b75ff144a339489417b146b", GitTreeState:"clean"}
Server: &version.Version{SemVer:"v2.11.0", GitCommit:"2e55dbe1fdb5fdb96b75ff144a339489417b146b", GitTreeState:"clean"}

If I delete the CRD object it goes back to the original error:

$ kubectl delete AppRepository bitnami -n kubeapps
apprepository.kubeapps.com "bitnami" deleted


$ helm install --name kubeapps --namespace kubeapps bitnami/kubeapps
Error: unable to decode "": no kind "AppRepository" is registered for version "kubeapps.com/v1alpha1"

hi @wshelley, we have just merged a PR that removes compatibility with Helm < 2.14. Would you mind upgrading to the latest version of Helm?

(the change is needed to support future versions of Helm 3)

Installed fine after the upgrade thank you.

Version number in docs may need to updated in that case: https://github.com/kubeapps/kubeapps/blob/master/docs/user/getting-started.md

good catch, thanks for the heads up
