OKD : "Failed to upgrade helm release: create: failed to create: Request entity too large: limit is 3145728" when trying to upgrade helm

Error: "Failed to upgrade helm release: create: failed to create: Request entity too large: limit is 3145728" when trying to upgrade helm version installed in OKD.

I believe the specified limit in the error is 3MB. I've added a .helmignore file and i don't have large sized files.

Any thoughts around this? Any way out for this problem?

In my case, I encountered OP's same error because we upgraded the version of Poetry used by our project.

In previous versions, Poetry would warehouse its virtualenvs in a "shared" cahce dir like ~/.cache/pypoetry/virtualenvs. However, after upgrading Poetry, the venv is now stored in the project directory itself alongside all the project files.

Once I realized this, I added .venv to our .helmignore file and was able to successfully helm install again.

For posterity, here's our .helmignore in full:

# Patterns to ignore when building packages.
# This supports shell glob matching, relative path matching, and
# negation (prefixed with !). Only one pattern per line.
.DS_Store
# Common VCS dirs
.git/
.gitignore
.bzr/
.bzrignore
.hg/
.hgignore
.svn/
# Common backup files
*.swp
*.bak
*.tmp
*.orig
*~
# Various IDEs
.project
.idea/
*.tmproj
.vscode/

values-generated.yaml
.venv

Search for a large file or binary accidentally copied under your helm base directory and move it to another location.
