<p>Right now, I am using helm to substitute variables in a file using values from my <code>values.yaml</code> file to create a ConfigMap which is working well for entries that are spaced correctly.</p>

<p>I am having a problem with the following:</p>

<pre><code>CELERY_BROKER_URL = "amqp://admin:admin@{{ .Values.env.RABBITMQ_HOST }}:5672/"
</code></pre>

<p>Results in this error when running <code>helm install</code>:</p>

<p>If I had set <code>env.RABBITMQ_HOST:rabbitmq.mydomain.com</code>, i'd expect the substituted value to be:</p>

<pre><code>CELERY_BROKER_URL = "amqp://admin:admin@rabbitmq.mydomain.com:5672/"
</code></pre>

<p>Values:</p>

<pre><code>useCustomApplicatonConfigs:
  - mountPath: /var/www/html/django
    type: py
    name:
      - settings

env:
  CELERY_BROKER_URL: "amqp://admin:xWQ7ye7YotNif@rabbitmq-imagegateway-dev-shared-headless:5672"
</code></pre>

<p>Does anyone know the correct syntax for this? Do I need to escape the <code>@</code> or something?</p>

<p>Edit: Added values section.</p>

<p>There are two things I had to change to get my configuration to work.</p>

<p>The first issue was that I was using a yaml comments vs. a template comment which tried to get substituted when running <code>helm install</code> so I removed it completely. I should have been using {{- /* This is a comment. */ -}} according to the helm documentation instead of #.</p>

<p>The second issue was with the spaces between the curly braces <code>{{</code> and <code>}}</code>.</p>

<p>Before:</p>

<pre><code>CELERY_BROKER_URL = "amqp://{{ .Values.env.RABBITMQ_USER }}:{{ .Values.env.RABBITMQ_PASSWORD }}@{{ .Values.env.RABBITMQ_HOST }}:{{ .Values.env.RABBITMQ_PORT }}/"
</code></pre>

<p>After (working):</p>

<pre><code>CELERY_BROKER_URL = "amqp://{{.Values.env.RABBITMQ_USER}}:{{.Values.env.RABBITMQ_PASSWORD}}@{{.Values.env.RABBITMQ_HOST}}:{{.Values.env.RABBITMQ_PORT}}/"
</code></pre>
