I'm trying to use Jenkins Kubernetes CLI plugin from https://plugins.jenkins.io/kubernetes-cli/ to let deploy artifacts from Jenkins to GKE cluster.

Expected Behavior

Get cluster info on kubectl cluster-info

Actual Behavior

Error out as Unable to connect to the server: x509: certificate signed by unknown authority

Steps to Reproduce the Problem

Output of generated ./kube/config

+ kubectl config view
apiVersion: v1
clusters:
- cluster:
    certificate-authority-data: DATA+OMITTED
    server: https://xxx.xxx.xxx.yyy
  name: my-cluster
contexts:
- context:
    cluster: my-cluster
    user: jenkins-pipeline
  name: my-cluster-jenkins
current-context: my-cluster-jenkins
kind: Config
preferences: {}
users:
- name: jenkins-pipeline
  user:
    username: jenkins-pipelin

When I run from a command line I need to do

export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=path/to/key.json

Where that part goes in that plugin?

Put it inside the sh?

withKubeConfig(...) {
  sh “””
    export ...
    kubectl ...
  “””
}

  • That will not work as by default plugin is working with user access with token not the key.json – JackTheKnife Feb 24 at 18:34
  • So when you run from command line with the export, subsequent kubectl (per plugin page) reads the contents of the file? – Chris F Feb 24 at 19:05
  • From the plugin page, you want to somehow use the contents of your key.json file for credentialsId? – Chris F Feb 24 at 19:11
