Action does not work on AWS CodeBuild self-hosted Github runners when helm is invoked from Python script

[corneliusroemer]

I've tried to use this action on an AWS CodeBuild self-hosted Github runner.

It works like this:

- name: Test helm template
        uses: WyriHaximus/github-action-helm3@v4
        with:
          exec: helm template does-not-matter ./kubernetes/xyz > defaultTemplate.yaml

but not when helm is invoked by a python script:

 - name: Deploy with helm
        uses: WyriHaximus/github-action-helm3@v4
        with:
          exec: ./deploy.py --verbose helm --branch ${{ github.ref_name }} --sha ${{ github.sha }}

this fails with:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Invoking helm from a Python script works fine using the normal Github actions. Not sure why it doesn't on AWS runners.

Interesting! Underwater helm is a bash alias. Should probably change that. Do have some ideas for that. Will get back to you on this
