Templating for chartPath does not work

[sakirma]

Expected behavior

chartPath templating should work in the unit test

Actual behavior

chartPath templating pastes directly the {{.FOO}} into the render output

Information

• Skaffold version: v2.9.0
• Operating system: OSX
• Installed via: Cloned the repository and tested on my IDE & Brew

I could be wrong with the unit test. Having read the code, io.Discard is being used. But it does not make sense why my skaffold is receiving the env key instead of the value.

My skaffold looks like this:

apiVersion: skaffold/v4beta8
kind: Config
build:
  tagPolicy:
    customTemplate:
      template: "{{.USER}}_{{.HASH}}"
      components:
        - name: USER
          envTemplate:
            template: "{{.USER}}"
        - name: HASH
          sha256: {}
  artifacts:
    - image: "a image name comes here"
      context: .
      custom:
        buildCommand: "make docker_build_svc SVC={{.SERVICE}}"
        dependencies:
          paths:
            - "."
          ignore:
            - "svc/*/bin/**"
  local:
    push: false
deploy:
  helm:
    releases:
      - name: "{{.SERVICE}}"
        chartPath: "../core/charts/{{.SERVICE}}" # <---- this does not work
        namespace: nid
        upgradeOnChange: true
        valuesFiles:
          - "./default_svc_values.yaml"
          - "./services/{{.SERVICE}}.yaml"
        setValues:
          skaffold: "true"
          environment.LOG_FORMAT.value: "text"
        setValueTemplates:
          name: "{{.SERVICE}}"
          fullnameOverride: "{{.SERVICE}}"
          hosts[0]: "{{.SERVICE}}.{{.CLUSTER_HOST}}"
          image: "an image name comes here"
          imagePullPolicy: Never
          deploymentAnnotations.sidecar\.istio\.io/proxyCPU: "1m"
          deploymentAnnotations.sidecar\.istio\.io/proxyMemory: 16Mi
          istioVersion: "{{.ISTIO_VERSION}}"

The output that I am receiving is:
