It's already installed and i have also added the path in Windows 11 --> Advance Setting --> path I can run the kubelogin from cmd or powershell

Restarted laptop and Lens couple of times

Is there any specific path needs to be updated in Lens ?

I have the same issue.

I've experimented with the MSI of Lens versus the installer, I've put kubelogin.exe into every place I can find in %APPDATA%\Local\Programs\open-lens (and every subdirectory), %APPDATA%\Roaming\OpenLens (and every subdirectory), everywhere in the Program Files\OpenLens directory and subdirectories. I can't get it to work.

I can run kubelogin from a command prompt and powershell as well, so it appears to be in the path. I assume I'm missing something simple but I can't work it out.

Same here, kubectl is working fine through kubelogin, but Lens keep reporting same error...

Version 2023.5.120950-latest seems to work fine

Same issue here:

I can login and run Kubectl in powershell, but Lens cannot connect to the cluster

I fixed it moving kubelogin.exe into my OpenLens Installation directory: C:\Users[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\Programs\OpenLens

I installed kubelogin via scoop, so the executable can be found here: C:\Users[USERNAME]\scoop\apps\azure-kubelogin\0.1.0\bin\windows_amd64

On my machine, it was only solved until I copied kubelogin.exe to %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Programs\Lens\resources and %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Programs\Lens\resources\cli.

Any update on this?

[Ryaryu]

For me it only worked when I copied kubelogin.exe to %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Programs\Lens\resources\cli\bin

For me it only worked when I copied kubelogin.exe to %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Programs\Lens\resources\cli\bin

This worked for me, many thanks! 🫶.

Seems odd to me having to copy a binary like into random folders until the application actually works.

I tried all the paths, and it does not work !! from powershell I am able to use kubelogin and kubectl and see the cluster etc. It's frustrating with lens
