Output of linode-cli lke kubeconfig-view is not a yaml.

To reproduce: Create example lke cluster with linode-cli: linode-cli lke cluster-create --label kubtest --region us-central --k8s_version 1.21 --node_pools.type g6-standard-1 --node_pools.count 3 Wait until all is provisioned and running. Find cluster id: linode-cli lke clusters-list Get kubeconfig: linode-cli lke kubeconfig-view <cluster ID>

Appears encrypted, but there is minimal documentation on this. Downloading from dashboard works as expected.

Perhaps a more accurate issue report would be regarding the feedback of --help in this case:

finn@ws:~$ linode-cli lke kubeconfig-view --help

linode-cli lke kubeconfig-view [CLUSTERID]

Kubeconfig View

As opposed to docs, which provide the adequate: “The Base64-encoded Kubeconfig file for this Cluster.”

The docs say that this operation returns a base64-encoded kubeconfig - you should be able to retrieve the yaml by decoding the output blob. You can do that in all one step like this:

linode-cli lke kubeconfig-view $LKE_CLUSTER_ID --text  --no-headers | base64 -d

I do agree that it would be nice if this operation returned the YAML without needing manual decoding, though; I’ll look into it. Thanks for the report 👍
