I'm having a lot of trouble bundling a Helm chart into a PEX and I'd appreciate any pointers to a solution. My initial attempt was by just declaring the Helm chart as a dependency but that didn't work. I then managed to find my way to

experimental_wrap_as_resources()

which sounds like it's the right thing to use for what I'm trying to do but somehow doesn't work:

experimental_wrap_as_resources(
    name='resources',
    inputs=[
        "helm/my-product",
    ],
)

python_sources(
    resolve="python-scripts",
    sources=[
        "./installer.py",
    ],
)

pex_binary(
    name="installer",
    sh_boot=True,
    emit_warnings=False,
    entry_point="installer.py",
    resolve="python-scripts",
    dependencies=[
        ":resources",
        ":scripts",
    ],
)

Thanks a lot!

So I understand the question: Is

helm/my-product

a directory or file that exists "directly" in your repository (e.g. checked in to git)? And you're trying to include those extra files in the pex?

it's a Helm chart built through Pants:

helm_chart(              
    sources=[            
        ...
    ],                   
)

ah, okay, I don't know enough about pants' helm integration to provide useful feedback. Maybe @careful-address-89803 can help?

First guess is that you'd like

wrap_as_resources

to package the chart into a .tar.gz and embed that into the PEX, but instead it's just slurping all the loose files. IIRC

wrap_as_resources

pulls in source files. Lemme see if I can think of something

Hey, thanks for your reply ! We'll avoid relying on plugins (we've been there in the past and got burned) and choose not to bundle a Helm chart with the installer.
