Issues with lab of "Helm for Beginners"

Lab: using Helm to deploy a chart

Question 10:
How many releases of nginx charts can you see installed in the cluster now?
Note: We just installed some charts

helm lists nothing other than the chart from the previous question, which means, the additional charts were not installed.

Question 11:
Uninstall chart happy-browse

There is no chart happy-browse
controlplane ~ ➜ helm uninstall happy-browse
Error: uninstall: Release not loaded: happy-browse: release: not found
Answer check result: Check results in a “Chart Removed” pass.

I’ve only tried the lab once so I’m not sure if this is a one time issue or a recurring issue, or a user error.

Hi @DanF

Q10 is dependent on the previous tasks. When you reach Q10. there are three charts on the controlplane, when you list them using helm list command, two among them are nginx charts. Now, in Q11 you are tasked to uninstall one of the nginx charts.

For Q10:

When I run helm list in the cluster, I see this output:

controlplane ~ ➜  helm list
NAME            NAMESPACE       REVISION        UPDATED                                    STATUS          CHART           APP VERSION
amaze-surf      default         1               2024-09-16 16:44:39.946273166 +0000 UTC    deployed        apache-11.2.18  2.4.62     
crazy-web       default         1               2024-09-16 16:45:50.101616703 +0000 UTC    deployed        nginx-18.1.14   1.27.1     
happy-browse    default         1               2024-09-16 16:45:44.63806252 +0000 UTC     deployed        nginx-18.1.14   1.27.1     

If you see something different, it’s possible that the setup script for the question did not fire correctly. But at least for me, the lab behaves correctly.

Q11:

happy-browse was present, (see Q10), and could be uninstalled.

If the output for Q10 did not match what you see above, try the lab again; most likely, things will work this time.

Thank you both for the quick feedback. Then in this case, the script didn’t run as expected cause I only had “amaze-surf” in Q10.

Cheers again :slight_smile:
