helm-wrapper erroneously deleting unrelated .dec files when run concurrently about helm-secrets

[szibis]

Maybe parallelism is the key to find the answer. Maybe one chart removes temp secrets file for another and we need to scope temp file to a specific chart.

Indeed, I have now narrowed this down to being a concurrency issue. But still not yet investigated deeply where the root cause lies.

UPDATE: The issue is caused by clean deleting all .ced files in the tree, no matter if that tree is a chart or not.
In out use case, we have a tree of override values, consisting of paths like .../<environment>/<chart>/<overfide-values-file where those <override-values-files might be secrets also. We're creating a commandline for helm-wrapper which looks like this:

helm-wrapper install <chart-name> --values .../<environment>/<chart>/secrets.yaml

Here the cleanup task is going wild, since it considers .../environment/as the base dir, and deletes every.dec` file in all the subdirs. Since we have multiple commands running in parallel for different charts, whose files are erroneously get deleted, then just fail.

Looking into a possible solution tomorrow, and maybe creating a PR to solve this...
