This error looks like it will happen when the `kubeconfig` cannot be found - meaning it isn't available in provider configuration and can't be found ambiently from the environment.

Are you providing configuration via `new kubernetes.Provider(...)`?

Client go is failing to get a kube config file

<@UBAJ7TD53> Any tips on how to diagnose why this would be happening?

It is ought to be fairly straight forward: KUBECONFIG env var is not set, and there is no kubeconfig at ~/.kube/config

Oh.... wait let me try that. Any way to repro this locally? That way I can rinse-repeat without pushing out to github. I assume my ~/.kube/config is being picked up locally, and deleting that should repro this?

I suspect you're not using the eks provider though

So when deploying locally you are just deploying to the active context in your kubeconfig
