Investigate why the Helm Chart Release GitHub Action didn't work

[jessebot]

We need to investigate why the release didn't show up here:
https://github.com/seaweedfs/seaweedfs-operator/releases

Here's the GitHub Workflow:
https://github.com/seaweedfs/seaweedfs-operator/blob/master/.github/workflows/helm_chart_release.yml

Here's the job where it ran:
https://github.com/seaweedfs/seaweedfs-operator/actions/runs/6921460451/job/18827076156

I will test this on a fork and see what I can surmise. My first inclination is that the perhaps it has to do with one of the following:

• GitHub Pages is not configured for this repo (example screenshot below):
  • we need a gh-pages branch
  • we need to make sure under settings > Code and Automation > Pages > Build and Deployment that it's set to:
    • Source is set to Deploy from Branch
    • Branch is set to gh-pages and directory next to it is set to root (/)
      

There's also a chance it has to do with the directory the helm chart is in. It's normally expected that the helm chart is in charts/appname so in this case it'd be charts/seaweedfs-operator, but I don't think that's it though, because I set the chart dir in the workflow according to the docs 🤔

seaweedfs-operator/.github/workflows/helm_chart_release.yml

Lines 40 to 41 in 8b69993

	with:
	charts_dir: deploy/helm

@chrislusf could you please create the gh-pages branch, when you have a chance? I think this is why the helm chart release did not work. Thank you for all your help 🙏

Let me know if anything is needed.

can't we take inspiration from seaweedfs for this?

Created PR #115 for testing this.

@chrislusf #116 seems to publish the charts now.

The following works.

helm repo add seaweedfs-operator https://seaweedfs.github.io/seaweedfs-operator/helm
helm template  seaweedfs-operator seaweedfs-operator/seaweedfs-operator

we may have to clean-up gh-pages branch similar to https://github.com/seaweedfs/seaweedfs/tree/gh-pages/ https://#117
