What Operating System are you using (both controller, and any agents involved in the problem)?
The Jenkins running on EKS cluster and deployed by Helm chart with Terraform “helm_release”
Reproduction steps
- Create AWS secret manager with ssh-key for GitHub credentials as below:
-----BEGIN OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----
b3BlbnNzaC1rZXktdjEABCDEBG5vbmUAAAAEbm9uZQAAAAAAAAABAAABlwAAAAdzc2gtcn
NhAAAAAwEAAQAAAYEAxs6i6gjyvbqIMboLC7zQ3RB0UhGORL5idCIPhpupuQIMySUmZ1S+
-----END OPENSSH PRIVATE KEY-----
- Use data to call the secret:
data "aws_secretsmanager_secret_version" "github_token" {
secret_id = "github"
}
- Define the SSH_PRIVATE_KEY in the values.yaml -
credentials:
system:
domainCredentials:
- credentials:
- basicSSHUserPrivateKey:
scope: GLOBAL
id: github
username: github
description: "Credentials for GitHub repo"
privateKeySource:
directEntry:
privateKey: |
"${SSH_PRIVATE_KEY}"
- Pass the secret to the values.yaml with terraform templatefile function -
resource "helm_release" "jenkins" {
name = "jenkins"
namespace = kubernetes_namespace.jenkins.metadata[0].name
repository = "https://charts.jenkins.io"
chart = "jenkins"
version = var.chart_version
values = [
templatefile("${path.module}/${var.values}.yaml", {
SSH_PRIVATE_KEY : data.aws_secretsmanager_secret_version.github_token.secret_string
}
)
]
}
Expected Results
Helm upgrade action to be completed successfully and the ssh-key configured as expected in the Jenkins credentials.
Actual Results
Received the below error:
Error: ---> error converting YAML to JSON: yaml: line 433: could not find expected ':' # Default values for jenkins.

Anything else?
I tried to use this link to fix the syntax error of the yaml with no luck

Secret manager and terraform should perserve the multiline.
So will the expanded secret
Yes you can have multiline in yaml with quotes by escaping with
\nin a literal.Also the expanded secret will also perserve newlines by using
\nin the raw binary to preserve the newlines.
