handle Chart dependencies dynamically

[rowa78]

Hi,

i use Chart.yaml to deploy specific Helm-Charts. Here is an example:

my repo looks like this:

.
├── Chart.yaml
├── config.ecp-dev.local.json
├── config.ecp-test.local.json
├── config.ecp.local.json
├── env
│   ├── ecp
│   │   └── local
│   │       └── values.yaml
│   ├── ecp-dev
│   │   └── local
│   │       └── values.yaml
│   └── ecp-test
│       └── local
│           └── values.yaml
├── files
│   └── certs
│       ├── ca-additional.pem
│       ├── cacerts.pem
│       ├── ecp
│       │   ├── tls.crt
│       │   └── tls.key
│       ├── ecp-dev
│       │   ├── tls.crt
│       │   └── tls.key
│       └── ecp-test
│           ├── tls.crt
│           └── tls.key
├── templates
│   ├── secret-ca-additional.yaml
│   ├── secret-cacerts.yaml
│   └── secret-rancher-ingress-tls.yaml
└── values.yaml

Depending of the stage, i use the corresponding values-file in my ArgoCD-Application.

My Chart.yaml looks like this, for example:

`apiVersion: v2
name: rancher
version: 0.0.0
dependencies:

• name: rancher
  version: "2.8.5"
  repository: https://registry.example.com:443/artifactory/iaas-helm`

This works fine.

I use branches in my git-repo (dev, tst, prod). So my workflow is to change things in dev and merge them with PRs to tst and later to prd. ArgoCD in my dev-cluster uses the dev-branch, on my tst-cluster it uses tst-branch, in prod it uses prd-branch.

I am looking for a way to use different repository-URLs for the different branches. For example:
branch dev should use https://devregistry.example.com:443/artifactory/iaas-helm`
branch tst shoud use https://testregistry.example.com:443/artifactory/iaas-helm`
branch prd should use https://prdregistry.example.com:443/artifactory/iaas-helm`

since i cant template this Chart.yaml i have no idea to achive this.

Do you have any ideas?

Kind regards,
Ronny
