Azure DevOps Pipeline deploy to Kubernetes with Helm 3: no such file or directory

Question

I have an Asp.net Core project, and I'm trying to create an Azure DevOps Pipeline for Kubernetes Deployment using Helm 3.

The structure of the project is:

Server charts server Chart.yaml Controllers etc..

The current build pipeline, builds the docker image, and upload it to Azure Container Registry.

The error occurs at the HelmDeploy task 'package' => chartPath:

This is the Pipeline stage for Deployment:

  - stage: 'Deploy'
  displayName: 'Deploy the container'
  dependsOn: Build
  jobs:
  - deployment: Deploy
    displayName: Deploy
    pool:
      vmImage: 'ubuntu-latest'
    environment: 'staging'
    strategy:    
      runOnce:
        deploy:
          steps:        
          - task: HelmInstaller@0
            inputs:
              helmVersion: 'latest'
              installKubectl: true
          
          - task: HelmDeploy@0
            inputs:
              command: 'package'
              chartPath: Server/charts/server

          - task: HelmDeploy@0
            inputs:
              connectionType: 'Kubernetes Service Connection'
              kubernetesServiceConnection: 'Staging-592588480'
              namespace: 'staging'
              command: 'upgrade'
              chartType: 'FilePath'
              chartPath: $(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory)/server

I tried many combinations without success:

chartPath: $(Build.Repository.LocalPath)/Server/charts/server
chartPath: $(Build.SourcesDirectory)/Server/charts/server
chartPath: **/Server/charts/server
chartPath: Server/charts/server/

According to the documentation, Helm 3 on azure pipelines do not need 'init' command, and the 'upgrade' command will install the charts if not exists.

By default deployment jobs doesn't download source code so if you keep you charts in your source code please add checkout step at the beginning of deployment job

- checkout: self
