What is the outcome that you are trying to reach?
I need to use this module alongside other Terraform modules that require newer versions of the Helm provider (3.x). Currently, the module's dependency on Helm provider version 2.9.0 creates version conflicts that prevent using it in the same Terraform configuration as modules requiring Helm 3+.
Describe the solution you would like
Update the module to support Helm provider version 3.x and above, while maintaining backward compatibility if possible. Ideally, the module should:
Support Helm provider versions >= 2.9.0, < 4.0.0 to accommodate both existing users and those needing newer versions
Update any deprecated resources or data sources that may be incompatible with Helm 3.x
Provide clear documentation on version compatibility and migration path
Describe alternatives you have considered
Forking the module: This creates maintenance overhead and separates us from future updates and community support
Module separation: Creating separate Terraform modules with different provider versions, but this adds complexity to our infrastructure code
Downgrading other dependencies: Not feasible as other community modules (like CAST AI modules) require Helm 3+
Additional context
Current limitation: Terraform doesn't allow multiple versions of the same provider in the same configuration, making it impossible to use this module alongside other Helm 3+ dependent modules.
Impact: This blocks adoption of modern Helm-based solutions and creates integration challenges in multi-module Terraform environments.
Testing suggestion: The module could be tested against both Helm 2.9.x and Helm 3.x versions to ensure broad compatibility.
Community benefit: Many users likely face similar version conflict issues as the Terraform ecosystem evolves and newer provider versions become standard.
