When trying to use the Bridge Kubernetes extension of VS Code, having configured the tasks.json as follows:

	"version": "2.0.0",
	"tasks": [
		{
			"label": "bridge-to-kubernetes.service",
			"type": "bridge-to-kubernetes.service",
			"service": "frontend",
			"ports": [
				8080
			],
			"targetCluster": "minikube",
			"targetNamespace": "ecomm-ns"
		}
	]
}

And my launch.json as

            "name": "Launch Package with Kubernetes",
            "type": "go",
            "request": "launch",
            "mode": "debug",
            "program": "${workspaceFolder}",
            "env": {
                "GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS": "somepath/ecomm-key.json",
            },
            "preLaunchTask": "bridge-to-kubernetes.service"
        }

I get following output:

Target cluster: minikube
Current cluster: minikube
Target namespace: ecomm-ns
Current namespace: ecomm-ns
Target service name: frontend
Target service ports: 8080


Error: Failed to load current kubeconfig. Please confirm that your kubeconfig is valid.

The terminal process terminated with exit code: 1.

Kkubectl config view gives me correct output

Looking at the logs of the bridge plugin, I hav the following:

2021-02-02T07:40:18.1876210Z | Library | WARNG | Failed to load kubeconfig at '/Users/scaucheteux/.kube/config': (Line: 10, Col: 5, Idx: 1804) - (Line: 10, Col: 6, Idx: 1805): Expected 'MappingStart', got 'SequenceStart' (at Line: 10, Col: 5, Idx: 1804).

My kubeconfig looks fine and is correctly parsed by various yaml plugins and by kubectl:
