helm s3 push fails with an error

[vishnups1]

⚡️helm s3 push ./halo-demo-chart-0.1.0.tgz test
Error: load repo file: Couldn't load repositories file (/Users/v01/.helm/repository/repositories.yaml).
You might need to run helm init (or helm init --client-only if tiller is already installed)
Error: plugin "s3" exited with error

when I try to push the package to the s3 bucket using the plugin it fails the above error. I don't see any issues with the aws cli. It is working as expected.

Also, it prints a message to run helm init command, which is not available under helm3.

Package versions:

⚡️helm version --short
v3.9.4+gdbc6d8e

⚡️helm plugin list

when i use it on gitlab ci, the probelm must show

[aispringli]

i find a reason, i find helm init in helm2 doc, so i guess whether is the version reason, final export HELM_S3_MODE=3, now it work well. the probelm is so beyond logic and above reason. hope whe auther can solve it.

As mentioned, you can use HELM_S3_MODE to force Helm v3 in case of problems, see: https://github.com/hypnoglow/helm-s3#helm-version-mode

Also, a bug was fixed recently that might caused the problem.

I'm going to close this, please open a new issue if the problem persists after the v0.16.0 release.
