Forcing the param namespaces to be a default empty string

[falcon-pioupiou]

if not forced to empty string, helm is taking the variable as an interface{}

without the default value :

Error: template: falcon-sensor/templates/container_secret.yaml:15:30: executing "falcon-sensor/templates/container_secret.yaml" at <.Values.container.image.pullSecrets.namespaces>: wrong type for value; expected string; got interface {}
helm.go:84: [debug] template: falcon-sensor/templates/container_secret.yaml:15:30: executing "falcon-sensor/templates/container_secret.yaml" at <.Values.container.image.pullSecrets.namespaces>: wrong type for value; expected string; got interface {}

This works. Could also set the following in helm-charts/falcon-sensor/templates/container_secret.yaml on line 15 that may or may not be better:

{{- $myns := split "," (.Values.container.image.pullSecrets.namespaces | default "") -}}

Thoughts?

I would go on the values.yaml file as other tools (like argocd) are reading the values.yaml to build a UI didn't checked if it's decoding well or not on argocd but I'm fine with the default.

I think it's a helm issue so could impact other tools reading the values.yaml without looking at the schema.

{{- $myns := split "," (.Values.container.image.pullSecrets.namespaces | default "") -}} should also solve your problem since the schema value and validation is null or string which means it can handle both and not error out. Schema validation will need to be fixed as well to be string only if pursuing updating the in-chart values.yaml file.
