I'm trying minikube with deis. Has something changed now? It was pulling the repo 2 hours ago

$ helm repo add deis https://charts.deis.com/workflow
Error: Looks like "https://charts.deis.com/workflow" is not a valid chart repository

Seeing this too:

The issue seems to have been a temporary. I'm able to add and update the repo:

 $ helm repo add workflow https://charts.deis.com/workflow
"workflow" has been added to your repositories
 $ helm repo update
Hang tight while we grab the latest from your chart repositories...
...
...Successfully got an update from the "workflow" chart repository

Nevertheless, this is still an issue warranting further investigation.

Yes, it's working for me now. Maybe it was something temporary at the servers, maybe has to do with the migration to Azure Services? Just guessing

I am seeing this issue today? Any clues?

I am getting this error as well when I try >helm repo add deis https://charts.deis.com/workflow
How to solve this?

@ampsarfraz I'm not seeing problems here. Maybe just a transient network error? Helm doesn't always report those errors in a useful way--for example if you unplug from the network and try the same thing you can see misleading errors about missing x509 certs...
I tried it with the debug flag as well but it doesn't seem to add any output:

$ helm repo add --debug deis https://charts.deis.com/workflow
"deis" has been added to your repositories

😕

@ampsarfraz I was having this problem on Windows. It appears to be more reliable if I explicitly set the HELM_HOME environment variable. e.g. in PowerShell $env:HELM_HOME = "C:\.helm". Try setting this and then adding the repo again.
