Helm "post_renderer" does not work on 2.4.*

[davidfrickert]

SUMMARY

When attempting to use post_renderer on kubernetes.core.helm, the result command is bogus and does not work:

 msg: '[Errno 2] No such file or directory: b''--post-renderer=/tmp/ansible.1zs3ebirpg-db-kustomize/kustomize.sh'': b''--post-renderer=/tmp/ansible.1zs3ebirpg-db-kustomize/kustomize.sh'''

The command seems to be overwritten when using post_renderer: https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/blob/2.4.1/plugins/modules/helm.py#L525
On 3.0.0, it seems that this might have been fixed but did not test yet. At least the code does not seem to overwrite the command and it is being done on 2.4.1. https://github.com/ansible-collections/kubernetes.core/blob/3.0.0/plugins/modules/helm.py#L564

Backport to 2.4.*?

I tested post_renderer on 2.4.0 and 3.0.1, it seems that it's totally ignored without error even for non-existent exe path.

had the same issue today. it doesn't work with 2.4.2, but does work with 3.0.0 and above. @davidfrickert thanks for this issue - it probably saved me hours of debugging!
