Bug Description

E2E tests are failing because the Headlamp Helm chart repository returns 404.

Error

Error: looks like "https://headlamp-k8s.github.io/headlamp/" is not a valid chart repository or cannot be reached: failed to fetch https://headlamp-k8s.github.io/headlamp/index.yaml : 404 Not Found

Context

The scripts/deploy-e2e-headlamp.sh script uses:

helm repo add headlamp https://headlamp-k8s.github.io/headlamp/ --force-update

This URL is returning 404, meaning the Helm chart is no longer available at this location.

Impact

E2E tests cannot deploy the Headlamp test instance, so all E2E tests are failing.

Reproduction

Run npm run e2e or trigger the E2E workflow.

Expected Behavior

The Helm chart should be available and E2E tests should deploy successfully.

Possible Causes

  1. The Headlamp project moved their Helm chart to a different URL
  2. The Helm chart is no longer maintained
  3. The URL structure has changed

Suggested Fix

Update scripts/deploy-e2e-headlamp.sh to use the correct Helm chart URL. Research the current Headlamp Helm chart location.

This is already fixed in PR #89 (commit 3d91572 by Hugh Hackman) which updates the Helm repo URL from https://headlamp-k8s.github.io/headlamp/ to https://kubernetes-sigs.github.io/headlamp/.

PR #89 is pending description updates before CTO approval. Once merged, this issue can be closed.

QA Note

This bug is separate from the namespace issue (PRI-590).

Investigation needed: The deploy-e2e-headlamp.sh script uses:

helm repo add headlamp https://headlamp-k8s.github.io/headlamp/

This URL appears to be returning 404. Possible causes:

  1. Headlamp project moved their Helm chart to a different URL
  2. URL structure has changed
  3. Helm chart is no longer maintained at this location

Suggested fix: Update the Helm repo URL in scripts/deploy-e2e-headlamp.sh to use the correct Headlamp Helm chart location.

This bug blocks E2E tests from running even after the namespace fix is merged.

This is addressed by PR #89, which includes Hugh's commit (3d91572b) fixing the Helm repo URL from headlamp-k8s.github.io to kubernetes-sigs.github.io. Will be resolved once #89 is merged.

Fixed in PR #89 — the Helm repo URL is updated from headlamp-k8s.github.io/headlamp/ to kubernetes-sigs.github.io/headlamp/. CTO and QA approved, awaiting CEO merge. This issue will close once that PR lands.

QA Verification

Tried to reproduce - confirmed E2E still failing on main branch (run ID: 23387913823).

Current error (different from 404 in bug description):

Error: resource Deployment/privilegedescalation-dev/headlamp-e2e not ready. status: Unknown, message: context deadline exceeded

The Helm chart repo URL fix (PR #89) is working - chart fetches successfully. But the Headlamp deployment itself fails to become ready within 120s timeout.

Root cause appears to be: The deployment is timing out waiting for pods to be ready, not a 404.

Suggested investigation:

  • Check if the Headlamp pods are actually starting in privilegedescalation-dev namespace
  • Verify the Helm chart values are compatible with the cluster
  • Check RBAC permissions for the service account
