ISSUE: cass-operator webhooks require cert-manager to be installed in the cluster

[KDool]

What happened?

I used the helm chart to deploy cass-operator into namespace cassandra.

When I ran the helmfile install , it raised the error:
execution error at (cassandra/charts/cass-operator/templates/webhook-service.yaml:6:6): cass-operator webhooks require cert-manager to be installed in the cluster.

It is so strange because I already installed cert-manager in my k8s cluster (in cert-manager namespace).

I then tried to modify values.yaml file to disable webhook install cert-manager like following:
global: clusterScoped: true admissionWebhooks: enabled: false disableCertManagerCheck: true
but it was still the same error message.

What did you expect to happen?

I expect to run the helm install successfully, because I already had cert-manager in the cluster

How can we reproduce it (as minimally and precisely as possible)?

Cert-manager

• Install cert-manager on namespace cert-manager

Cass-operator

• Make a chart.yaml and a values.yaml file.
• in helmfile.yaml, config values.yaml is the value file that the chart will use.
• run install on namespace cassandra

cass-operator version

0.46.2

Kubernetes version

v1.26.11-gk2.1055000

Method of installation

Helm

Anything else we need to know?

The cert-manager check requires the presence of cert-manager CRDs, it does not really check if cert-manager is installed. Are you sure you installed the CRDs when installing cert-manager? The default settings in Helm chart for cert-manager does not install CRDs.

Also, disabling webhooks or disabling the check will remove the verification. It sounds like there's an issue in a helmfile if none of your settings have any effect. Have you tried without helmfile, instead running just plain helm?

Hi, I checked cert-manager CRDs, it's already installed when I install cert-manager.

I've tried to install cass-operator using Helm insteal of helmfile, it's succeed.
