如何使用 zsh 在 Mac M1 上安装 gke-gcloud-auth-plugin

Question

I try to install gke-gcloud-auth-plugin on a Mac M1 with zsh, following the gcloud docs .

The installation ran without issue and trying to re-run gcloud components install gke-gcloud-auth-plugin I get the All components are up to date. message.

However, gke-gcloud-auth-plugin --version returns zsh: command not found: gke-gcloud-auth-plugin . kubectl , installed the same way, works properly.

I tried to install kubectl using brew , without no more success.

I had the same error and here's how I fixed it.

I had originally installed gcloud sdk with homebrew brew install google-cloud-sdk . At that time, I read the Caveats, which tell you how to add gcloud components to your PATH by adding the following line to your profile:

source "/usr/local/Caskroom/google-cloud-sdk/latest/google-cloud-sdk/completion.zsh.inc"

I installed both kubectl and gke-gcloud-auth-plugin, and neither of them could be found from the command line. I got the same error as the OP "command not found"

A page I was reading said that you can view the Caveats by typing brew info google-cloud-sdk

Lo and Behold, the completion line for zsh users has changed!

To add gcloud components to your PATH, add this to your profile:

  for bash users
    source "/usr/local/Caskroom/google-cloud-sdk/latest/google-cloud-sdk/path.bash.inc"

  for zsh users
    source "/usr/local/Caskroom/google-cloud-sdk/latest/google-cloud-sdk/path.zsh.inc"

  for fish users
    source "/usr/local/Caskroom/google-cloud-sdk/latest/google-cloud-sdk/path.fish.inc"```

I updated the line in .zshrc and now it all works.

Not sure if it is the same on macOS. Can you try the following:

export USE_GKE_GCLOUD_AUTH_PLUGIN=True

Then reload the Cluster with

gcloud container clusters get-credentials clustername

Guess it is installed but just not used.

Maybe you just need to add the directory where to find your gke-gcloud-auth-plugin file to your PATH .

Is it working when you call it wirh absolute path?

path/to/gke-gcloud-auth-plugin --version

to find the file use the following command:

sudo find / -name gke-gcloud-auth-plugin
