helm3 deleted CRDs with uninstall #11564
Description
Hi,
The docs (https://helm.sh/docs/topics/charts/#limitations-on-crds) say:
I just did a helm delete on a chart (kubernetes-external-secrets) and it completely deleted the CRDs (which then deleted the ExternalSecrets - these themselves are in a different chart).
I did this via the lens ide (https://k8slens.dev/) by clicking their delete button under helm releases. (I am assuming this simply does a helm delete)
Can you please clarify if this is in fact working as intended or not?

@DanTulovsky Helm doesn't automatically delete CRDs in Helm 3. It did in Helm 2.
This would only be possible if configured in the chart(s) that you used or perhaps from the environment you are running on. I suggest checking the chart you ran or with the chart maintainers.

Thank you for your reply. How would this be configured in a chart?

It could be a number of things:
templatedirectory instead of thecrds/directory. If this is the case and the CRD chart is a dependency on the chart youhelm uninstallwith then it will remove the CRD.github-actions commentedon Feb 22, 2023
