Spurious redeploys for charts not in current namespace

[SohumB]

If you have a helm deployment that sets a namespace different from the namespace used on the command line,

deployments:
- name: keda
  namespace: keda
  helm:
    chart:
      name: keda
      version: "2.6.2"
      repo: "https://kedacore.github.io/charts"

devspace will always redeploy this release, regardless of whether it needs to be.

I've tracked the issue down to here: https://github.com/loft-sh/devspace/blob/d6091ae88e16cc251541bb962335d90f93610d8c/pkg/devspace/deploy/deployer/helm/deploy.go#L89-L100

The call to Helm.ListReleases uses the current context, and therefore only looks within the currently set namespace in that context.

Local Environment:

• DevSpace Version: 5.18.4
• Operating System: linux
• ARCH of the OS: AMD64

Kubernetes Cluster:

• Distro: minikube
• Kubernetes Version: 1.23.1

Hi, @SohumB Do you still face this problem in devspace v6? I tried to reproduce it but it fails in dev mode, which is intended, and it successfully deploys in deploy mode.

Hey, @SohumB

Your described issue should now be fixed with DevSpace v6. @pratikjagrut has tried reproducing it and we haven't managed to. Are you still facing this issue?
