it looks like for deploy helm actions the path for varfiles is not correct when the helm chart is referenced by

source.repository.url

. it checks within .garden/sources/actions/… instead it should check from my point of view relative to the garden.yaml action file How to reproduce: garden.yml

yaml
apiVersion: garden.io/v1
kind: Project
name: redis
environments:
  - name: local
    variables:
      baseHostname: redis.local.demo.garden
providers:
  - name: local-kubernetes
    environments: [local]
variables:
  userId: ${kebabCase(local.username)}

redis.garden.yml

yaml
kind: Deploy
description: Redis service for queueing votes before they are aggregated
type: helm
name: redis
varfiles:
  - ./.env
source:
  repository: 
    url: https://github.com/bitnami/charts#main
spec:
  chart:
    path: bitnami/redis
  values:
    auth:
      enabled: false

.env
