Not able to ignore chart folder even after adding entry in .helmdocsignore file about helm-docs HOT 5 OPEN

@borisrizov-zf in your case, the .helmdocsignore file is at the wrong location:

$ find . -name .helmdocsignore
./charts/managed-identity-wallet/.helmdocsignore
$ cat $(!!)
charts/
$ helm-docs -l debug
DEBU[2024-03-02T13:43:41Z] No ignore file found at /tmp/managed-identity-wallet/.helmdocsignore, using empty ignore rules 
...

The .helmdocsignore file is like a .gitignore file, it must be at the root of the repository.

$ mv charts/managed-identity-wallet/.helmdocsignore .
$ echo charts/managed-identity-wallet/charts > .helmdocsignore 
$ helm-docs -l debug
DEBU[2024-03-02T13:46:38Z] Found ignore file at /tmp/managed-identity-wallet/.helmdocsignore, using those ignore rules 
DEBU[2024-03-02T13:46:38Z] Ignoring directory /tmp/managed-identity-wallet/.git 
DEBU[2024-03-02T13:46:38Z] Ignoring directory /tmp/managed-identity-wallet/charts/managed-identity-wallet/charts 

I wouldn't be surprised if this is also @Pallavi028's problem, but I'm having trouble understanding for sure from their comment.

I can confirm the behaviour. I have a charts/pgadmin4 folder in my main charts/project folder. Ignoring does nothing.
Might be useful to add a flag to ignore a folder without setting a .helmdocsignore file, e.g. --ignore-dir some-dir/.

The only thing that doesn't happen is to add the sub-documentation to the main documentation. Maybe that's the intended behaviour?

This is not intended behavior, however I cannot reproduce this. Can one of you send me a tar archive of your repository, or make one of these repositories publicly available in some way so I can test against your setup?
