Error: UPGRADE FAILED: another operation (install/upgrade/rollback) is in progress

I am using helm upgrade xyz --install command and my release were failing due to other helm issues. So no successful release is done yet.

Then one time when the above command was in progress, I pressed ctrl+c command. And since then it is showing Error: UPGRADE FAILED: another operation (install/upgrade/rollback) is in progress whenever I try helm upgrade again.

When i do helm history helm history xyz It shows Error: release: not found. No I don't know how to roll back the previous operation so that I can try helm upgrade again.

I tried --force too helm upgrade xyz --install --force but it is still showing some operation is in progress.

So how can I roll back the previous process when I don't have any successful release.

The solution is to use helm rollback to restore your previous revision:

helm rollback <name> <revision>
user_88684190

your previously installed/ upgraded helms are in the status of pending-upgrade. These charts were not shown, when we list the helms. try using helm status [chart_name], it shows the current state of charts. uninstall the charts for which the status : pending. Then you can reinstall the charts without any issue.

OP:

Found the issue.

I was not giving namespace in helm delete command so It was using some default namespace. once i passed namespace it worked

user_122010840 
helm -n namespace history myapp
helm -n namespace rollback 7

Here 7 is just the revision to which i rolled back. After this you can proceed with your regular upgrade

In my case, I had to get the status of that release using

helm status <release-name>

Then I saw that the status for that release is pending-upgrade. I simply uninstalled that release using

helm uninstall <release-name>

and ran the install command again.
