Helm always parses YAML integers as Golang float64

[chowder]

Is there any way to coerce YAML integer values to show up as int64 values with type functions (e.g. typeIs)?

Interestingly using --set from the command-line yields a different result.

$ cat values.yaml
foo:1

$ cat templates/foo.yaml --plain
value: {{ .Values.foo }}
type: {{ typeOf .Values.foo }}

$ helm template . --show-only templates/foo.yaml
---
# Source: my-chart/templates/foo.yaml
value: 1
type: float64

$ helm template . --show-only templates/foo.yaml --set foo=1
---
# Source: my-chart/templates/foo.yaml
value: 1
type: int64

If you want a particular format for a value, you're best to explicitly type that e.g.: {{ .Values.foo | int64 }}
