Skaffold keeps rebuilding and redeploying a helm chart with dependencies

[petarManolov]

Expected behavior

After running skaffold dev and the initial build and deployment is done, it will only trigger a new build / deploy when I make a change to the source or helm charts.

Actual behavior

After the initial build, the chart is continuously re-deployed in a loop.

Information

• Skaffold version: v1.2.0
• Operating system: Ubuntu 19.10 / macOS 10.15
• Project Info : Java based project build with maven
• Possible regressions: issues-931 and/or issues-667
• Contents of skaffold.yaml:

apiVersion: skaffold/v2alpha2
kind: Config

  tagPolicy:
    sha256: {}
  artifacts:
    - image: dps
      context: .

Hi @petarManolov, thanks for the issue, can you share your Dockerfile contents as well? Thanks!

[hanzketup]

Facing the same issue, skaffold is picking up changes to the chart dependencies:
INFO[0041] files modified: [project/chart/charts/postgresql-8.1.5.tgz]

Adding */charts/ to my .dockerignore fixes the issue though.

HI @balopat I've updated the original issue with my docker file contents.

hey @petarManolov I'd like to try to dig into this one but I'm not sure how to reproduce. would you maybe be able to provide a small sample project in a repo that I can clone and run on?
