Azure-pipelines-tasks: Helm installer fails to get latest info from github

Environment

• Agent - Private (linux)

Issue Description

Helm tool installer (Preview)

Error logs

Cannot get the latest Helm info from https://api.github.com/repos/kubernetes/helm/releases/latest. Error Error: Failed to download file status code: 301. Using default Helm version v2.8.2.

This results in using whatever old helm version may be available. If the check mark "check for latest" is removed, then the installer does find latest (2.9.1) version just fine.

This problem to appear started yesterday without any changes in the build pipeline.

@vcorr, Thanks for reporting the issue. I looked at the task changes. There are no changes in task. Task downloads the lastest version from "https://api.github.com/repos/kubernetes/helm/releases/latest". I think there is a change in url. when i access"https://api.github.com/repos/kubernetes/helm/releases/latest" url it redirecting to "https://api.github.com/repositories/43723161/releases/latest", this causing issue. I will work on fix meanwhile please specify latest version number in 'helm version spec' field in task.
