Multiple helm charts are not supported

Hello, I have multiple helm charts in my projects-charts folder and I get GIT errors if I modify more than 1.
I use this the below settigns, because it is a private repository and for some reason if I don't use packages_with_index to upload also in the branch, my ArgoCD gets 404 while doing helm pull, but locally all is fine doing helm repo add:

• name: Run chart-releaser
  uses: helm/[email protected]
  with:
  charts_dir: projects-charts
  skip_existing: true
  packages_with_index: true

Did anybody manage to have more than 1 helm chart change at a time?:

All works fine if you only change 1 chart at a time, but it is very annoying when you do updates to multiple.

Thank you

I've run into the same issue here: https://github.com/open-webui/helm-charts/actions/runs/9388614861/job/25854221012

I'll report back if I find a fix.

Thanks for the response.

In the meantime I have dropped investigating chart release/gh-pages.
I just don't like it, the whole implementation is a little messy, besides the bugs, why would you have a whole branch filled with charts? :)

On the other hand, considering that my projects are in AWS, I have found a cool way to host charts in AWS ECR https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECR/latest/userguide/push-oci-artifact.html

Super clean and implements beautifully with ArgoCD.
Github has also OCI support, but again, it's way behind Gitlab and even AWS.

Best regards,
Sergiu

FYI this is a bug with the core chart-releaser that this action leverages. The fix has been merged to main but not tagged/released offically yet:
