Terraform Configuration Files

resource "helm_release" "nginx_ingress" {
  name      = "nginx-ingress"
  chart     = "stable/nginx-ingress"
  namespace = "nginx-ingress"

  set {
    name  = "controller.publishService.enabled"

  }

  set {
    name  = "controller.config.use-forwarded-headers"
    value = "true"
  }
}

Expected Behavior

Should work with no problem

Actual Behavior

helm_release.nginx_ingress: Creating...

Error: ConfigMap in version "v1" cannot be handled as a ConfigMap: v1.ConfigMap.Data: ReadString: expects " or n, but found t, error found in #10 byte of ...|headers":true},"kind|..., bigger context ...|apiVersion":"v1","data":{"use-forwarded-headers":true},"kind":"ConfigMap","metadata":{"annotations":|...

Helm3 is used btw.

Making values as "\"true\"" works, but this is definitely a bug.

Running helm template outside of provider with the generated values file works as expected.

Setting type = "string" in the set block might help here.

[jasonmcboyd]

Setting type = "string" does not seem to do the trick.

[phuongleeo]

yeh, it worked with explicitly setting type="string"

[azmelanar]

Does not work with value = "\"true\"" or type = "string" for bitnami/nginx helm chart where boolean type is required.

resource "helm_release" "nginx" {
  name       = "nginx"
  repository = "https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami"
  chart      = "nginx"
  version    = "7.1.0"

  set {
    name  = "metrics.enabled"
    value = "true"
    type  = "string"
  }
}

With type = "string":

Error: values don't meet the specifications of the schema(s) in the following chart(s):
nginx:
- metrics.enabled: Invalid type. Expected: boolean, given: string


  on nginx.tf line 1, in resource "helm_release" "nginx":
  1: resource "helm_release" "nginx" {

With value = true:
