There is a concept called Token Helpers in Vault. By default, the Vault CLI will store the generated token on disk in the
~/.vault-token
file. So, I realized that even though we could not set theVAULT_TOKEN
env variable, we can still obtain the Vault token from the file with the help of this feature. So, this PR will add that support to the Vault client initialization process.Btw, this is just an idea, so please feel free to comment it out.
