Bug: getting credentials: exec: executable aws not found

[macmiranda]

Hi @ricoberger,

Running into a bug on macOS Ventura (M1 chip). Clusters config is read from .kube/config, which does client authentication via exec-based plugin (aws) considering that those are EKS clusters.
We use different profiles for different clusters like so:

- name: staging
  user:
    exec:
      apiVersion: client.authentication.k8s.io/v1beta1
      args:
      - eks
      - get-token
      - --cluster-name
      - eks-cluster-staging
      command: aws
      env:
      - name: AWS_DEFAULT_REGION
        value: eu-central-1
      - name: AWS_PROFILE
        value: staging
      interactiveMode: IfAvailable
      provideClusterInfo: false

kubectl works fine.

When running kubenav, it does recognize the clusters but cannot find the aws executable although it's in the PATH. See log excerpt below:

It looks like you are trying to use a client-go credential plugin

Hi @macmiranda, thanks for reporting🙂. I already tested this and added the paths in this PR #459 so it was working for me.

What is the location of your aws binary, maybe we also have to add this path.

[macmiranda]

Mine is at /opt/homebrew/bin/aws, which is a pretty common location for macOS users.

I tried to edit the file in the /Applications/kubenav.app/Contents/Info.plist as a regular user and it failed so then I ran sudo -i and tried again and the file was gone 🤷🏼‍♂️

Can you try the binary from the following GitHub Action https://github.com/kubenav/kubenav/actions/runs/4024802087

[macmiranda]

It works 🎉

Thanks
