Kong helm not working with db-less mode

Installation/Setup
1

I used below simple helm chart to install the kong gateway

helm upgrade kong kong/kong --install --set ingressController.installCRDs=false --namespace kong --set proxy.type=NodePort --set proxy.http.servicePort=8000 --set proxy.http.containerPort=8000 --set proxy.http.nodePort=32040 --set ingressController.enabled=false --set dblessConfig.configMap=kong.yml  --set-file dblessConfig.config=kong.yml

Although I define the path in the kong.yml, when I try to access the path, it always returns" “no Route matched with those values” I suspect the kong.yml is not properly loaded in the container. what could be wrong?

kong.yml as below

_format_version: “3.0”

_transform: true

services:

# Entities can store tags as metadata

tags:

- example

# Entities that have a foreign-key relationship can be nested:

routes:

  • name: example-route
    paths:
    • /
      plugins:
  • name: request-termination
    config:
    status_code: 200
    body: noOk3
