Nova unable to flag deprecated Helm charts

[kimschles]

What happened?

While working on a blog post about Nova, I wasn't able to get the tool to flag 2 deprecated charts.

I installed nginx-ingress and kube2iam from the deprecated helm chart repo, but nova is still reporting that these are not deprecated:

Release Name      Installed    Latest    Old      Deprecated
============      =========    ======    ===      ==========
kube2iam          2.5.3        2.6.0     true     false
metrics-server    3.8.0        3.8.2     true     false
nginx-ingress     1.41.0       1.41.2    true     false
vpa               1.4.0        1.4.0     false    false

I'm running Nova v3.2.0.

What did you expect to happen?

I expect Nova identify charts with deprecated: true in their Chart.yaml as deprecated.

How can we reproduce this?

kubewatch is a deprecated chart.

Install it with the command:

helm repo add bitnami https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami
helm install my-release bitnami/kubewatch

Then, run nova find and you will see

Release Name             Installed    Latest    Old      Deprecated
============             =========    ======    ===      ==========
kubewatch                3.3.4        3.3.4    false    false

Per @sudermanjr, the artifacthub functionality broke the Deprecated function.

If you disable artifact hub, and specify the repository directly, it gets the field to flip:

nova find --poll-artifacthub=false --url=https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami

Release Name    Installed    Latest    Old      Deprecated
============    =========    ======    ===      ==========
kubewatch       3.3.4        3.3.4     false    true

If we were able to get this feature added to helm, we could eliminate this issue.

@sudermanjr Since that feature has been added, is this issue still valid?

[sudermanjr]

Unfortunately that feature has not been added to helm. The HIP was approved, however we are still waiting on helm/helm#11378 to be approved before this can happen.
