using terraform with helm on minikube gives error - terraform

Question

I have the following .tf file
provider "kubernetes" {
config_context_cluster = "minikube"
}
resource "kubernetes_namespace" "user-namespace" {
metadata {
name = "user-namespace"
}
}
provider "helm" {
kubernetes {
config_context_cluster = "minikube"
}
}
resource "helm_release" "local" {
name = "user-server-chart"
chart = "./user-server"
}
When I run terraform apply I get the following error
kubernetes_namespace.brw-user-namespace: Creating...
helm_release.local: Creating...
Error code explanation: 501 = Server does not support this operation.\n") has prevented the request from succeeding (post namespaces)

Step 1: kubeconfig is not having the correct context and add a line with kubeconfig to your ~/.bashrc file
kubectl config set-context ~/.kube/kubeconfig1.yml
kubectl config use-context ~/.kube/kubeconfig1.yml
or export KUBECONFIG=~/.kube/<kubeconfig_env>.yml
Step 2: A Helm Release resource can be imported using its namespace and name
e.g. terraform import helm_release.example default/example-name
Since the repository attribute is not being continued as metadata by helm, it will not be set to any value by default. All other provider specific attributes will be set to their default values and they can be overridden after running apply using the resource definition configuration.
