Can ArgoCD deploy a Helm chart from Git repository, not from Helm chart repository?

Question

I've tried the Application definition below, but it's just not synchronizing by ArgoCD without any logging. Synchronization process just keeps hanging.

apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1
kind: Application
metadata:
  name: guestbook
  namespace: argocd
  finalizers:
    - resources-finalizer.argocd.argoproj.io
spec:
  project: default
  destination:
    namespace: guestbook
    server: "https://kubernetes.default.svc"
  source:
    helm:
      valueFiles:
        - "values.yaml"
    repoURL: 'https://{private git server}/guestbook'
    targetRevision: HEAD

Git repository https://{private git server}/guestbook has the following file structure of a Helm chart:

- charts (folder)
- templates (folder)
- Chart.yaml
- values.yaml

Helm chart gets successfully deployed when run outside of ArgoCD with helm install guestbook . --namespace guestbook from the root of the cloned git repository with the chart.

Git repository and access credentials are configured in ArgoCD dashboard and ArgoCD connects to the repo successfully.

Answer 1

Path should contain a Chart.yaml file.

kind: Application
metadata:
  name: test-apps
spec:
  destination:
    namespace: argocd
    server: https://kubernetes.default.svc
  project: argocd
  syncPolicy:
    automated:
      prune: true
  source:
    path: argocd-example-apps
    repoURL: https://github.com/stevesea/argocd-helm-app-of-apps-example.git
    targetRevision: test
    helm:
      valueFiles:
      - test-values.yaml```
