skaffold dev unable to connect to Kubernetes: getting client config for Kubernetes client

### unable to connect to Kubernetes: getting client config for Kubernetes client: error creating REST client config in-cluster: unable to load in-cluster configuration, KUBERNETES_SERVICE_HOST and KUBERNETES_SERVICE_PORT must be defined

why? thank you!

@uchenxy can you please confirm that the use of KUBECONFIG_PATH is a redacted version of the path to your kubeconfig file?

Could you try running skaffold dev -v debug and include the full output?

this is the full output，Thank you for your answer

[briandealwis]

The key here is the line after your highlight:

 no kube-context set and no kubeConfig found, attempting in-cluster config

you need to provide your KUBECONFIG to skaffold too, like

skaffold dev —kubeconfig path

Skaffold will pass that down to Helm.

Skaffold also talks to your cluster and when it cannot determine which cluster to use, it tries to see if it’s running within a cluster.

We should make that error more clear.

Although this does not achieve my goal, thank you for your answer

hey there @Derry-ukere , are you running into this issue using a similar setup? It seems you're using kubectl deployer and running into the same issue. Any more info on your config here would be great, thanks!
