[jatin-mehrotra-colorkrew]

What happened?

GHA sometimes fails to run because it is not able find the latest helm version

Warning: Failed to read latest helm version from URL https://api.github.com/repos/helm/helm/releases/latest. Using default stable version v2.14.1
/usr/bin/unzip -o -q /home/runner/work/_temp/6287bb49-af5d-4af7-a34d-f792a1275683
Running helm dependency update command..
/opt/hostedtoolcache/helm/2.14.1/x64/linux-amd64/helm dependency update ./aks/xxxxxxxxx
No requirements found in /home/runner/work/xxxxxxxxx-v2/xxxxxxxx-v2/aks/xxxxxxxxx

clicking the https://api.github.com/repos/helm/helm/releases/latest. which is part of warning message shows

{
  "message": "Not Found",
  "documentation_url": "https://docs.github.com/rest/releases/releases#get-a-release",
  "status": "404"
}

If I try to access it without . then I can see

The only way to fix it is rerun the GHA after some time or pin the helm version

      - uses: azure/k8s-bake@v3
        with:
          renderEngine: "helm"
          silent: "false"
          helmChart: "./aks/${{ inputs.aks_chart_dir_name }}"
          overrideFiles: |
            ${{ env.OVERRIDE_FILES }}
          overrides: ${{ env.OVERIDES_STRING }}
          helm-version: v3.x.x
        id: bake
