istioctl unable to find configmap when deploying application

[jpweber]

Trying to deploy an application I get the following error

kubectl -n dev create -f <(istioctl -n dev kube-inject -f foo.yaml)
Error: Istio configuration not found. Verify istio configmap is installed in namespace "dev" with `kubectl get -n dev configmap istio`
error: no objects passed to create

I run the recommended command and it shows that the config map does exist

bash-3.2$ kubectl get -n dev configmap istio
NAME      DATA      AGE
istio     1         12m

I've tried removing and reinstalling istio, which had no effect. I have seen this on k8s 1.6.2 and 1.6.6

It looks like you are running istio out of the master branch (Version: 0.2.0-ac94a44), which is currently in a pretty broken state, as we are restructuring components. The latest stable version is in branch release-0.1.

Thanks, I'll switch to the stable and give it a try today.

Yup that was it thank. closing.
