[web/ingress] unable to set nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/use-regex using CLI

[nbr]

Description

The use-regex annotation is expected to be either "true" or "false" by the ingress controller.

I'm able to successfully set the annotation in the browser, but cannot do so using the CLI with a values.yaml file such as:

ingress:
  annotations:
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/use-regex: "true"
...

The following error message is printed:

Error: Upgrade failed: template: web/templates/ingress.yaml:48:21: executing "web/templates/ingress.yaml" at <eq $v "null">: error calling eq: incompatible types for comparison

It seems like "true" is being coerced into a bool and failing here according to the above error.

Location

• Browser
• CLI
• API

Steps to reproduce

1. Set ingress.annotations["nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/use-regex"] = "true"
2. Run porter update config --app=my-app --values=values.yaml

Additional details

Setting ingress.annotations["nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/use-regex"] = true fails at the ingress controller both locally and in the browser with the following message:

Error: Upgrade failed: unable to decode "": json: cannot unmarshal bool into Go struct field ObjectMeta.metadata.annotations of type string
