helm-install: local install does not seem possible

[mnp]

In helm-install, since registry-username and registry-password are required, it does not seem possible to install from only a local checked-out chart directory. If local were allowed, I would expect those to be optional and some kind of chart-path argument would be used instead.

The action README could clarify this situation either way, since it does mention local but doesn't say how.

Agreed that we should update the docs here. It is possible today:

Here's an example:

      - id: helm-install
        uses: replicatedhq/compatibility-actions/helm-install@v1
        with:
          kubeconfig: ${{ steps.create-cluster.outputs.cluster-kubeconfig }}
          chart: ./my-chart-0.0.0-alpha.${{ steps.vars.outputs.sha_short }}/my-chart
          name: 'my-chart'
          version: 'alpha.0.0.0-${{ steps.vars.outputs.sha_short }}'
          namespace: 'my-namespace'
          helm-path: 'helm'
          values: |
            replicated:
              integration:
                licenseID: ${{ secrets.REPLICATED_LICENSE_ID }}

@marccampbell Thanks, I'll give it a try. Incidentally, values: is documented to take a values.yaml file but there are also places where it takes a map literal, as above.
