Plugin doesn't install on Windows OS

[rajurh]

I am trying on Windows laptop with WSL2 and without WSL2 , plugin fails to install with below error
Error: exec: "sh": executable file not found in %PATH%

I think the issue is due to the fact that the installation is done with a shell script and windows tells that sh is not present.

Do you mean the plugin installation works with WSL2, but doesn't without WSL2?

Some related links - helm/helm-2to3#55

No it doesn't work with WSL2 as well.

Okay. I don't have access to a Windows system currently, so I can't help currently.

Works fine with git bash. Though this returns a different error.

@sfxworks Thanks for reporting. I'll check how it works in https://github.com/chartmuseum/helm-push :)

[karuppiah7890]

I think the culprit might be in this piece of code that I wrote

https://github.com/karuppiah7890/helm-schema-gen/blob/master/scripts/install_version.sh#L10

@sfxworks Not sure what the above error means. Could you explain which version of helm you are using? I'm not sure if the above message is related to this plugin as I don't find that error message in the install script, and it has been working fine for others with helm, not sure what's causing this particular issue

[karuppiah7890]

I checked if helm has this error message in it's master branch, but didn't find anything

@sfxworks @rajurh Do you still have a need to use the plugin? Could you check again and see if this issue exists? We recently found out that windows binaries were not even available before - #5 . We recently fixed it

[rajurh]

It will be nice to have it working on Windows @karuppiah7890. I still get the below error while installing the plugin.

@rajurh Can you tell me if this plugin works for you -

https://github.com/chartmuseum/helm-push

$ helm plugin install https://github.com/chartmuseum/helm-push.git

Also, can you try in something like git bash? or mingw / cygwin ?
