I am configuring Jenkins to automatically deploy my successfull builds to my Kubernetes cluster. I have manually set up the KUBECONFIG file in /var/lib/jenkins/.kube/config.
But my Jenkins job keeps giving the same error:
+ kubectl config --kubeconfig=/var/lib/jenkins/.kube/config view
error: error loading config file "/var/lib/jenkins/.kube/config": v1.Config.Contexts: \
[]v1.NamedContext: Clusters: []v1.NamedCluster: v1.NamedCluster.Name: Cluster: v1.Cluster.Server: \

"server":"https://clsx-cloud-d734ef-0b|...I copied the kube config file manually from my SSH accessible account, i.e
cat home/username/.kube/configI have fixed this error by removing files in this directory:
/var/lib/jenkins/.kube/
Note: take backup on first priority of this directory as well.
You most likely copied the wrong screen output from the terminal, or while editing the file in i.e nano.
The $ characters are illegal characters and the result of truncated file viewing in the terminal, make sure that you copy the real file data correctly.
For example:
xclip -sel clip < home/username/.kube/config
