Helm silently fails when templating/installing different versions of the same chart name.

[josh-ferrell]

When a chart file contains dependencies with the same chart name and repo but of different versions one or more will fail to generate. I believe this is in the way chartutil's Expand defines the chart path.

The install and template commands should fail with an explicit error of this is unsupported.

Can you provide a little more on how you are getting this error would like to see if I can reproduce this exactly how you are getting the error.

Hi!

In a similar case, if a parent chart contains several subcharts with the same name in their Chart.yaml file and with same templates files names, helm template command (so probably install/upgrade too) generates the templates of only one of its subcharts randomly. No warning, no error displayed.

You can easily reproduce it.

The command should fail and an explicit error should be displayed to inform the user that something wrong has been done: 2 subcharts with the same name shouldn't be allowed, or 2 templates with the same path in 2 subcharts with the same name shouldn't be allowed.

Regards.
