Please stand by @limited-crayon-56213 as I search the knowledge base. I normally take about 20 seconds or so. :wave:
---------------------- The error message you're seeing suggests that Garden is having trouble reading your kubeconfig file, which is necessary for connecting to your Kubernetes cluster. In your Garden project configuration, you can specify the path to your kubeconfig file using the
kubeconfig
field under the
kubernetes
provider. Here's an example of how to do this:
Copy code
yaml
providers:
- name: kubernetes
  kubeconfig: /path/to/your/kubeconfig
(Source: Garden Kubernetes Provider Reference ()) If you're using the
terraform
provider, you can also provide the kubeconfig path as an output value from your Terraform stack:
Copy code
yaml
- name: kubernetes
  kubeconfig: ${providers.terraform.outputs.kubeconfig_path}
(Source: Garden Terraform Provider Configuration ()) Please ensure that the path to your kubeconfig file is correct and that the file is accessible. If you're still having trouble, you might want to check the Garden troubleshooting guide () or consider opening an issue on the Garden GitHub page (). ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------

@microscopic-river-74022 what is the difference between the key "context" and the key "kubeconfig" ?

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
---------------------- The
context
and
kubeconfig
keys are both used in the configuration of Kubernetes providers in Garden, but they serve different purposes: - `context`: This key is used to specify the kubectl context that Garden should use to connect to your Kubernetes cluster. A kubectl context represents a cluster, a user, and a namespace. This is required for the
kubernetes
provider and optional for the
local-kubernetes
provider. Here's an example of how to set it:
Copy code
yaml
providers:
- name: kubernetes
  context: "my-dev-context"
(Source: Kubernetes Provider Reference (), Local Kubernetes Provider Reference ()) - `kubeconfig`: This key is used to specify the path to your kubeconfig file, which contains information about your Kubernetes clusters and how to connect to them. This is not mentioned in the extracts provided, but it's a common configuration option for Kubernetes tools. In summary,
context
is used to select a specific cluster/user/namespace combination from your kubeconfig, while
kubeconfig
is used to specify the location of the kubeconfig file itself. ---------------------- Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon: ----------------------
