Is there a way to run helm commands in gradle task-CodePudding

I'm using Gradle as the build tool and I need to run helm commands like helm repo add inside a Gradle task. I have tried as below.

      exec {
       workingDir = file("<Helm.exe location>")
       CommandLine "helm.exe repo add"
      }

But this fails with

Error: unknown command "repo add" for "helm"
Run 'helm --help' for usage.

Any help is much appreciated.

CodePudding user response：

Gradle exec is not doing any processing to the arguments. If you supply "repo add" as argument, helm will receive one argument: "repo add". This would be the same as calling helm "repo add" in the terminal. What you want to do is, supply two arguments: "repo", "add".
