Help wanted: why does the README not appear about hub HOT 12 CLOSED

Hi @alexec, I checked that issue with Kubeapps (in which the issue is also present). It seems a problem with the way the tarball is packaged. The service extracting the README is failing to do so. When I try to extract the tarballs for argo I get several warnings which doesn't appear for other charts:

▶ tar zxf argo-0.5.2.tgz 
tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword 'LIBARCHIVE.creationtime'
tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword 'SCHILY.dev'
tar: Ignoring unknown extended header keyword 'SCHILY.ino'
...

Maybe there is an issue with the packaging procedure?

@alexec I concur with @andresmgot on this. The Helm Hub extracts the README.md from the archive. It's not able to do that which is why it can't display.

On Mac I cannot reproduce what he found but I can on Linux.

I suspect the problem is with the publish.sh script. Instead of using tar to create the archive might I suggest using the helm package command.

OK. I've updated the script:

https://github.com/argoproj/argo-helm/blob/master/scripts/publish.sh#L11

from hub.

Hmm.. still does not work?

Version 0.5.4 should have README.
https://hub.helm.sh/charts/argo/argo-cd

from hub.

I'm still seeing the unknown extended header error when extracting on Linux... looks like this might be an issue when creating tar archives on macOS: http://lifeonubuntu.com/tar-errors-ignoring-unknown-extended-header-keyword/.

What platform does your packaging script run on?

Based on that article, Monocular/Kubeapps should just ignore the warnings and extract the README anyway.

Mac. Run on Docker maybe?

Could error be red herring?

from hub.

ah, I think I've found the issue. The problem is not related to the headers warning. The issue is that your tarball doesn't contain a folder (all the files are in the root). It's expected to have a folder with all the files within it. Instead of ./README.md, it should be located at argo/README.md.

Note to self: 0.1.4 should be updated https://hub.helm.sh/charts/argo/argo-ci

from hub.

On Linux I use the helm package command.The README not appear.

I think that your case @liwenhe1993 is different because I am able to see the README in https://hub.kubeapps.com/charts/liwenhe1993/clickhouse (so I am not sure why it's failing for the helm hub).

from hub.

Both the arch-cd and clickhouse readme files are displaying now.

I can not sure what caused the clickhouse problem. When the cache was refreshed the problem went away.

I'm closing as both of these charts are now working. If another issue comes along please open a new ticket.
