Missing namespace in Helm templates

[andridzi]

There is a namespace field missing for namespaced objects in Helm templates (for example in Deployment template).

Was it done for some reason or can be easily added? (namespace: {{ .Release.Namespace }})

[djeebus]

Normally it gets added by helm, no? It's not omitted for strong reasons, just felt it was unnecessary. In what situation is this causing issues?

[andridzi]

if you're using kustomize build --enable helm it will produce manifests without the namespace.
And if namespace field will be set in kustomization.yaml, it will affect Role/Rolebinding namespace and {{ .Values.argocd.namespace }} will be overriden.

UPD: found the way how to workaround this, but still will be nice to have

transformers:
  - |-
    apiVersion: builtin
    kind: NamespaceTransformer
    metadata:
      name: add-missing-namespace
      namespace: kubechecks
    unsetOnly: true
