when I run only switch, the context is listed without issue.

What I'm doing wrong ?

What I'm doing wrong ?

Probably nothing as this is possibly a bug. It seems to be related to the recently introduced namespace switching functionality.
I will get back to it when finding some time (hopefully next week).
Thanks for reporting already.

Does switch and then checking out the context via the fuzzy search work for you?

[danielfoehrKn]

Also you could post a sanitized version of this kubeconfig + your switch-config.yaml

[rubber-ant]

after the run switch the fuzzy search works and I can select the context without issue.

Not working: `switch -d , the context doesn't get deleted.

switch -d context1
deleted context context1  from /Users/userid/.kube/.switch_tmp/config.4004739986.tmp

Works only if I run switch -d and then I select the context from fuzzy search

Not working `switch .`

the kubeconfig is quite a default configuration without any directories and for some reason switch-config.yaml is not even present in the ~/.kube/

ok thanks, just wanted to check if there is any custom config present.

Works only if I run switch -d and then I select the context from fuzzy search

That is expected as switch -d only works on the local copy of the kubeconfig file. So in your case , the context is only deleted from the temporary file, not the original kubeconfig.

I ll have a look at that namespace issue, sorry for the inconvenience.

[danielfoehrKn]

Sorry for the delay. I think I have found the problem, but it would be nice if you could test it on your system.

This is the commit.
You can use the from source installation method described here.
Thanks a lot!

Hi @danielfoehrKn

thanks for the fix

$ switch -v
Switch:
		version     : v0.6.1
		build date  : 2022-03-31
		go version  : go1.17.6
		go compiler : gc
		platform    : darwin/amd64

both of these 2 commands are working now!

$ switch gke_foo-europe-west1
switched to context "gke_foo-europe-west1".

$ switch -

are you going to look into this?

$ switch -d context1
deleted context context1  from /Users/userid/.kube/.switch_tmp/config.4004739986.tmp

[danielfoehrKn]

are you going to look into this?

What is the problem here? For the output I can see that the context was removed - mind you, removed from the temporary kubeconfig file. It will not be removed from the original kubeconfig file.
To remove the context from the original kubeconfig file, you need to do export KUBECONFIG=./my-original and then run switch -d context1

@danielfoehrKn thanks!

[danielfoehrKn]

Just released version 0.6.2 which includes the fix - thanks again for reporting. Feel free to open again if you come across the issue again.
