Description

My setup:

  1. I am building local rust application and want to deploy it like in c# example, but
  2. I have done helm create app and docker image name is under spec.template.spec.containers.image.

If I change something in rust application source code, tilt rebuilds app but not the docker image and does not deploy app on kubernetes. I have found that, docker_build expects image name to be in spec.container.image, which does not corresponds to helm default deployment configuration. Is it possible for tilt to understand kubernetes deployments generated by helm?

Research direction

Start with the docker_build API documentation and the Helm-generated deployment shape described in the issue. Trace how Tilt locates the image field; done means a source change rebuilds the image and deploys the updated app for the default Helm deployment.
