helm test failure: timed out waiting for the condition

Question

We have a simple release test for a Redis chart. After running helm test myReleaseName --tls --cleanup, we got

RUNNING: myReleaseName-redis
ERROR: timed out waiting for the condition

There are several issues in Github repository at https://github.com/helm/helm/search?q=timed+out+waiting+for+the+condition&type=Issues but I did not find a solution to it.

What's going on here?

Answer 1

For me, helm couldn't pull the image as it was in private repo

kubectl get events helped me get the logs.

9m38s       Warning   Failed              pod/airflow-scheduler-bbd8696bf-5mfg7      Failed to pull image 

After authenticating, helm install command worked.
