Is it possible to configure image updater to change only image tag with helm values

[KonstantinNosov]

in docs there are described 2 ways of configuration:

name and tag

argocd-image-updater.argoproj.io/<image_alias>.helm.image-name: <name of helm parameter to set for the image name>
argocd-image-updater.argoproj.io/<image_alias>.helm.image-tag: <name of helm parameter to set for the image tag>

spec:

argocd-image-updater.argoproj.io/<image_alias>.helm.image-spec: <name of helm parameter to set for the canonical name of image>

I have helm chart that defines image with 3 values

image:
  registry:
  repository:
  version:

so neither of two documented options work. Ideally i need just image.version be updated to imgae updater determined tag , but even if i have argocd-image-updater.argoproj.io/<image_alias>.helm.image-name: "" or not set helm.image-name annotation at all it uses default 'image.name' and adds value...

Adding dummy .helm.image-name does not work as chart has json schema validation

With your helm chart structure, you can use:

argocd-image-updater.argoproj.io/<image_alias>.helm.image-name: image.repository  # maps to the repository field in helm values file
argocd-image-updater.argoproj.io/<image_alias>.helm.image-tag: image.version  # maps to version field in helm values file

unfortunately it does not work since changes

  image:
    version: v0.23.0
    repository: moby/buildkit
    registry: docker.io

to

  image:
    version: v0.23.0
    repository: docker.io/moby/buildkit
    registry: docker.io

As workaround i just have dummy value for image-name that is not used anyhow but it is annoying

You may want to take a look at one of the sample apps: https://github.com/chengfang/image-updater-examples/tree/main/write-helmvalues. Its helm values file contains:

image:
  registry: docker.io
  repository: bitnami/nginx
  tag: 1.27.1

and application manifest file has annotations to map the helm parameters:

    argocd-image-updater.argoproj.io/nginx.helm.image-name: image.repository
    argocd-image-updater.argoproj.io/nginx.helm.image-tag: image.tag

With the above config, the default value for helm image name ("image.name") does not take effect, as the helm image name property is directed towards image.repository.

That is exactly what I have right now, but i had to add dummy value since if value configured with image-name does not exist, updater fails
