cert-manager-cainjector is looking for ca secret in wrong namespace? about cert-manager HOT 2 CLOSED

If i'm reading your yaml correctly you are using Kustomize to inflate the Helm chart before argo deploys it. So I suspect that you need to tell Kustomise the namespace to use when inflating the chart:

apiVersion: kustomize.config.k8s.io/v1beta1
kind: Kustomization
namespace: utilities
resources:
  - "acme-issuer.yaml"
helmCharts:
- name: cert-manager
  repo: https://charts.jetstack.io
  version: "1.14.5"
  releaseName: certi-manager
  valuesFile: values.yaml
  namespace: utilities # Namespace to use when Kustomize renders the chart

from cert-manager.

Thanks for the reply! Rebuilding the cluster with no changes worked, I'm not sure what artifact was laying around to cause that, was likely from an earlier deploy attempt. I went through and deleted everything or so I thought.

RE: namespace, I think the namespace at the top of the kustomization file filters down right? it was for everything else as all the other resources ended up in the correct namespace.
