Errors after modifying KUBECONFIG variable

[pxtxs]

Hi @sbstp ,
If KUBECONFIG variable become invalid, kubie isn't functioning anymore.

[13:08:30 ~ 0] >> pierre $ kubie ctx api-prod 
[api-prod|monitoring] [13:08:32 ~ 0] >> pierre $ export KUBECONFIG="/dev/null"
Error: EOF while parsing a value
Error: EOF while parsing a value
[|] [13:08:45 ~ 0] >> pierre $ 
Error: EOF while parsing a value
Error: EOF while parsing a value
[|] [13:08:48 ~ 0] >> pierre $ kubie ctx a

[|] [13:08:52 ~ 1] >> pierre $ kubie ctx api-prod
Error: EOF while parsing a value
Error: EOF while parsing a value
[|] [13:08:57 ~ 0] >> pierre $ 

We could use a KUBIE_KUBECONFIG variable to avoid this.
What do you think ?

Thanks,
Pierre

Yeah that's a good idea. I think I can also do a hack which would make it impossible to break kubectl by playing with the KUBECONFIG variable. In the .bashrc I can generate a function that sets the variable every time like so:

function kubectl {
  KUBECONFIG=$KUBIE_KUBECONFIG kubectl "$@"
}
