stern not found if install stern by kubectl krew

[karnzx]

Hi, First of all I think this couldn't really be an issue at all but it will be greatly appreciated if the plugin cover this little problem.

I install stern with krew by kubectl krew install stern in my powershell teminal.
To use stern I have to run kubectl stern instead of single stern command
so when using this plugin on lens I got this error.

PS C:\Users\user> stern deployment/web --color auto --namespace project_namespace --since 1s
stern : The term 'stern' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or 
if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

My solution is to mapping kubectl stern command to stern for example in powershell terminal.

function stern {
    kubectl stern $args
}

Hi @karnzx, during next days I'll try to do something to fix this "issue".

I don't know if Lens Extension API have something to do this, but in any case I could create a specific settings (in Lens/OpenLens settings page) to enable in this case.

Hi @karnzx, I have just released a new version (v0.3.3) which includes a new preference to flag if you have installed stern via krew.

You can see below a screeenshot of the new preference:
